Good: The amazing screen, the design

Bad: No optical drive , ridiculous price tag!

Comment: Why does everyone seem to bypass the fact that this laptop has no optical drive. Rubbish. I guess I'll have to stick with my windows laptop for now

Good: Everything

Bad: No Ethernet

Comment: @JiHo: it's a combi Headphone/Microphone and Line-In (they said it at the presentation)

@billfred: would have been cool

@article: sorry but your brabbeling about webpages beeing small is nonsene - have you even read what the HighDPI mode does?! it enlarges every single pixel to 4 pixels therefore everything non retina beeing default like on the normal MacBook Pro

But if the app is retina capable it can use .5 pixel measures, making the real screen estate available and making everything look crisp

so to conclude:
non-retina: everything is as it was
retina: super sharp and amazing

I own it

Comment: I know it's a tiny thing, but I would have liked to see the LED battery monitor to have remained.
