Awesome Computer
Pros: This Computer is typical of Apple's quality. It is very quiet, and fast, it took 5 seconds from turning on the machine to signing in, and the screen is beautiful.
Cons: For the price it should have come with a 16 gigabyte hard drive.
Overall Review: I am an amature photographer, and i can tell a big difference in the Retina Display when viewing my photographs. This is the quietest lap top that I have ever owned, you have to bring it close to your ear to hear it run. I like the position of the cooling vents, most lap tops have them along the back, or up front, but this computer has them slightly elevated along the sides so you can actually set it on your lap without obstructing the vents. This Macbook is fast, it took 5 seconds from turning the machine on to signing in, and depending on the speed of your modem, it connects to the internet through WIFI just as fast. My only complaint (and the reason I gave it 4 eggs instead of 5) is that for the price, This macbook should have come with a 16 gigabyte hard drive, now I may never fill up 8 gigs, but it would have been nice knowing I had the extra storage. So to sum up, if you are on the fence about purchasing this computer, then my advice is go for it, you won't be disappoint
