Fine computer. Marketing guff
I bought one of these a few months ago, after sadly selling my beloved 11" MacBook Air (see first link in the comment below) when I had to give up my 24" Monitor.
(so I needed the new Pro for its bigger display....no other reason).
I chose this one over a conventional Pro because it is thinner and lighter. I've owned three Pros in recent years, and they were too heavy to carry around frequently.
So my thoughts about the new Pro:
In terms of processing grunt, it is comparable to my previous quad-core MacBook Pro (see second link in the comment below). Fine.
In day-to-day terms it is as fast as, but not noticeably faster than, my MacBook Air was.
The big display is crisp and good enough to negate a large monitor. Does the 'Retina Display' quality of it make things any better? No. For sure, the higher resolution of the display makes management of the screen area easier when editing videos and photos, but the higher pixels-per-inch makes no...

Review 1 : Not as Described. Not UK model
I ordered this Macbook and received the item the very next day which was fulfilled by Amazon which was great.
When arrived and opened the box, the keyboard was different, not greatly different but it was not a UK model. It does not state anywhere that it is a international or us keyboard. Secondly, this computer is not even american after checking the serial number which is MC975ZP/A. It is a Con to let these companies trade on the UK Amazon site and trick customers into thinking it is a UK model by not stating clearly that it is a international model.
I have used it now and it is not hard to adjust as i have used Arabic and US keyboards in the past but for anybody not used to the change it would be an issue. Causes a little confusion when i switch from iMAC UK model to this now.
Just a note to everyone that take it into account before purchasing.
Review 2 : Pretty good
Nice display, good build quality as usual (I still have a 5 year old MacBook that I use, but since I spend most of my time on the road its nice to have something with a bit more processing power). Retina screen looks great, at full res can be a little hard on the eyes as the text can get pretty small. Had no real problems after a month of use.
My only gripe is the lack of external connections. Two USBs is pretty limited, particularly because it has no built in DVD and it is likely if you use any kind of CD or DVD you'll end up with one of these, and with the limited internal memory you're going to use an external drive. I also have a USB external wireless broadband dongle so already I'm having to pack a USB hub! You have two Thunderbolt connections which sounds fabulous, but realistically what is available is overpriced, cheapest external disc you can get is nearly
