Its across the ocean and I can't do it. My current MB Pro is a beast, runs great and I can't see the need for retina. The HP Envy is the same one HP is selling with Windows 8. As much as it kills me, Im not moving this time. I just saved a lot of money.

I think Apple priced them just a little too high, if the 13 could go to 16 GB and was under 2500 for the i7, 256 and 16 GB memory, Id probably do it.

I have 8 in my HP Envy and its fine. There are 100's of memory monitors for free in the app store, run a few of your photo apps and see what they do.

For me, the only time I need more is on vm's

8 will probably suffice. But knowing that's all you can ever have is what sucks. I don't understand the decision to solder in the ram...

form over function.

tradional RAM wouldnt fit in the thinner profile...and soldering keeps the control in their hands and money in their pockets.

Yea I think I gotta go with either the 15 retina or non.

Not digging the 8gb max and no discrete graphics.

Ill just keep saving my pennies for the 2nd gem retinas.

discreet graphics doesnt mean shit if youre just doing photography.

People tried to get me to bite on that last time...I went 13" and its been great...some of my best photos have been done on this machine.

Its been the switch to a camera that shoots 36.3MP files thats killing me.

I was just talking to my resident super apple nerd friend who was saying 8GB now with the bus speeds and architecture is much faster than even if I upgraded to 8GB on my current machine...and yeah its true and makes sense.

I dont know...Ill wait until they get them at stores and I'll bring in a SD card with some shots and see how it handles them.

I could probably live nicely with 256 SSD and the 2.9i7 for around 2k with the education discount.
