Any Recent Anti-glare buyers can share their Views against Retina and Performance/Battery

Can some one Share their Recent Purchase of MBP or Retina MBP Performance, Battery Life, Anti-glare!!

I have the rMBP. Performance is incredible, especially with app launching. Power button to desktop takes about 12 seconds, and 90% of app launches happen within one "Dock bounce" (official unit of time in OS X ). These are the sort of things you notice, as opposed to CPU clock speeds. Very happy with the performance.
Battery life is great. It's about 5–6 hours if you just leave things as is, but if you grab gfxCardStatus, you can force the system to use the Intel HD 4000, which is a very capable graphics chip as is, and this'll get you 8–10 hours of regular use (backed up by Ars). And it'll run noticeably cooler.
Speaking of cooler, the rMBP generally runs warm under normal usage. It can get a bit toasty, especially if you kick in the nVidia chip. It doesn't get painful unless you're running some hard games; the fans can get loud as well. They sound like white noise, but you can definitely hear it.
Glare is still present, but you can look past the glare and still see what you're doing most of the time (unless the content is very dark to begin with). You can get the display bright enough to cope with almost everything except direct sunlight. Also, the Facetime HD camera shows rainbows on the screen of my iPhone when I hold the phone up to the camera. I see the same rainbows through polarized sunglasses, which means that the camera lens, or quite possibly the display glass itself is polarized. But don't hold me to that—just an observation.
@webv555: Boot Camp doesn't support automatic graphics switching—you're on the hungry nVidia chip the whole time.
Hope this helps!
