Nice xmas gift from the wife...
Macbook pro retina 
I bought myself one and it still not turned up. Scheduled for delivery. Can't wait to get it now. how you finding it.
It's replaced a well specd 2009 pro which had 8gb ram so I wasn't expecting it to be too different but tbh they've really moved the game on. It's so much smaller, not just in thickness but width and depth. The old one feels like a brick in comparison. Load times are none existent with everything, it's all instant. These SSD drives certainly make a difference. My old mac would take a few mins to complete booting, opening spotify, sonos program and be ready to use. This one is ready to go in 12 seconds.
Battery is lasting 7-10 hrs in normal internet use with full brightness which is almost 3 times as long as my old one.
And the retina display is incredible, probably the best bit! Pin sharp, lovely and bright and even after just an hr of use, looking at the old screen looked like it was some really low res phone screen from 10 years ago. It looked so nice before, it's amazing how quickly you adjust to a new standard.
I was a bit reluctant to be treated to what felt like a pretty unnecessary gift but no one is prising it out of my fingers now. My apple love is restored after losing a lot of love for them over the past few years of poor iPhone releases
