Just bought 17" MBP with hi-rez screen but was misled

Before I bought my MBP I asked the Apple dude at the store if the 17" MBP's have the new backlite LED screens...he even went and asked a couple of his buds and they all agreeded and he came back and said YES they are the backlite LED.
So I get it home, fire it up and the rez is great but it's no brighter than my MBP 15"
Whats the deal?
Thanks. for any comments

Not sure why they would tell you that, but a simple check of the tech specs page would confirm that the 17" MBPs do not have LED backlights:
15-inch MacBook Pro
15.4-inch (diagonal) _TFT *+LED backlit+* display_ with support for millions of colors; optional glossy widescreen display
17-inch MacBook Pro
17-inch (diagonal) _TFT display_ with support for millions of colors; optional glossy widescreen display
Optional 17-inch (diagonal) _TFT widescreen display_ with support for millions of colors; optional glossy widescreen display.

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

I've just bought an iPhone with a vodafone pay as you go sim. There should be a 12digit pack number for me to activate the sim and the credit. Does anyone know where i can find the code?

I have just bought an iPhone with vodafone pay as you go sim. It was meant to come with a freedom freebie credit allowance. However I need a 12digit code to activate this. There is no code on my receipt. Where would I find this?

I bought this online through the apple store. I have no one to contact but to ask the community!

I just bought a 2012 with the i5 and 4 gb RAM

I just bought a 2012 with the i5 and 4 gb RAM. Something is NOT right. Right along side it -for comparison purposes is my macbookpro -2009 -dula core with the stock 4gb ram.
The OS is the same -latest Mtn Lion
The mac mini is on its knees. With ZERO programs open the RAM available is just 1,100 mb -with about 6 firefox windows open the sbbod happened ALL the time and the available memory is around 300 mb.
The mac book pro -with inferior specs -right ? - has the SAME windows etc etc and has 1,900 MB OF AVIALBLE RAM - HOWVER NO SBBOD!!!!
The Mini Mac is way to slow...but why? I just bought it 2 days ago - very dissapointed so far.
Yes, I know installing 16gb of ram will (may) fix it - but the out of the box expreince is jusy messed up!
Ideas? Thoughts? Same issue?

Hi Johnfromoro,
I'm having the exact same issue as you, my old iMac 2006 seemed more fluent and less laggy/jerky then my new 2.6 GHZ quad core i7 mac mini. If I open a app I get the randbow wheel (yeh nothing else is open) I mean come on a quad core i7 can't open one application fluently?
I too have experience very high swap files also at a 1GB - this seems very odd considering I had 1.5 GB unused ram left? The applications that ran on my old iMac seemed to work alot smoother, I was expecting with the stats that Apple launched and I read about, that this would eat my old iMac for breakfast but I'm sitting here thinking. "Is this it??" It just lacking the whole sales pitch I was given about 78 % faster here and there!
Please could you let me know what Apple say about this cause I'm wondering if I too have a faulty machine or is this the "power" the mac mini offers?
P.S. I ran the disk ultility repair (no improvement), also I time machined all the files/data from my iMac to the new mac mini.
Kind Regards

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Check the system requirements. LR has different ones from PS and being able to install PS doesn't automaticalyl mean LR will work, too.

Nope, you can install it on your new computer with no issues. The disc contains both the 32 and 64 bit versions.

The App Store will permit you to purchase Mountain Lion regardless of whether your MacBook Pro already had it installed when it shipped from Apple.
If you bought Mountain Lion from the App Store, you will be able to install it on as many additional Macs as you may have. If you only have the one Mac and have no plans to acquire any others that did not ship with Mountain Lion, then there was no need to purchase another copy.
