Marco Arment:
This is the best computer I’ve ever used. And I can say that with no hesitation, qualification, or equivocation.
Arment later notes that he still can’t make the Retina MacBook Pro his main machine, owing to tradeoffs with portability, storage, and external displays.
The 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro isn’t the model for me (I have an 11-inch MacBook Air). For my purposes, 15 inches is too big for awesome portability, and too small as a desktop replacement. That means I would want an external display at home, thus eliminating the benefits of a Retina screen. I’ll be holding out for either a Retina external display or a Retina MacBook Air.
