When will the new Retina Macbook Pro be available in stores?

I thought that it should be released tomorrow since it's available today online, but I was mistaken. You think Apple would have their stock built up in stores for release the next day. Does anyone know when it will be available? The store rep. near me said 2-3 weeks and I don't want to believe it could be that long. Any thoughts?

I went to the Apple Store today and talked to the manager. He said he does not know, because the only indication of when is WHEN it arrives. Could be tomorrow (unlikely). Could be ten days. I tend to believe him because he has been right in the past. Just ask the store roughly when deliveries are made each day. Then call around that time.

Will the new Retina MacBook Pro outperform a standard MBP with upgrades?

I'm after a new MacBook Pro 13" but don't mind too much about a retina display (music production and sound design is my thing) - I just want it to be as fast as I can afford. I've been comparing the new Retina models with a standard MBP upgraded to the same price area as the Retinas.
Here's the specs I'm interested in:
MBP Retina
Processor: 2.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 2.9 GHz) with 3MB shared L3 Cache
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 256GB PCI-e-based flash storage
MBP Non-retina (with some upgrades)
Processor: 2.9 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 1TB Serial ATA Hard Drive @ 5400 rpm.
Which will peform best? Does the flash storage makes the retina faster while the hard drive on the standard MBP negate the upgrades?

Yes, yes and yes.
"Also am I correct in thinking that my 2008 early Mac Pro has more processing power than the new macbook I am looking at?"
You MUST be joking! LOL!
There will be NO COMPARISON as far as speed, processing power, etc.
You are looking at about a 40% performance boost on the CPU, alone, never mind the boost in RAM.
Coupled with the speed of the drives in the MBPro, you will also notice that your insanely complicated projects that typically take a few minutes to load, will actually load in mere seconds.
GO FOR IT!

Will the new retina Macbook Pros be able to to handle big logic sessions

Hello
I have been using an early 2008 Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 quad-core intel Xeon) which over the past year or two has had a long history of things going wrong with it. I am thinking that it's time to get a new computer and have been looking at the brand new Macbook Pros with retina (not that i need retina!).
I am a DJ and a musician and one of the reasons I would like a macbook pro is so I can use it to DJ with (serato) as well as incorporate it into my band (ableton). I know a Macbook pro will be able to hand these tasks well but I am wondering whether it will be able to replace my desktop as my main computer and handle large Logic sessions with plugins etc...
The last thing I want is for it to have over heating issues or not be able to handle what I throw at it. I would love a new Mac Pro but the portability of a macpro is apealing and I'm done DJ'ing with a huge CD wallet.
Here is what I am looking at:
2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Also am I correct in thinking that my 2008 early Mac Pro has more processing power than the new macbook I am looking at?
Would be great to hear whether this macbook pro will be able to do the job for me. I'm looking at it being my main computer for the next 5-6 years
thanks!

Yes, yes and yes.

When will the new 12" Macbook Pro / Powerbook arrive?

Hi everyone,
Well, it seems that I have finally decided to get an Apple. Tough decision...I'm hoping it won't be a hard transition.
I was looking at the Powerbook G4 12". However, the new Macbook just arrived, and I'm worried the 12" is not too far behind.
When do you think it will arrive?
Is it worth waiting for, regardless of timing?
Also, are there any websites or books, etc, that facilitate the transition to Mac from a Windows environment?
Thanks !!

You're welcome cutnedge!
Yeah, it does takes a lil' time for the conversion. So much so that i'm used to this baby of mine and i had a lil' confusion when i used other Windows laptop. Weird huh..?
It's good that you'll wait for the revise version. Well, i have no idea if they are coming up with Macbook in smaller inch which i doubt. If yes, that might not be this soon (as in this year but maybe next or later)
Before this, i was cracking my head between PB 12" and iBook 12". Finally, i have a deep thought and decided PB is the one for me. Then again, being indecisive about the size of it (12" or 15"?). And because the outlook is the next i'm concern after performance and storage wise; i chose PB 12" as both the size works the same functions, however the price of this two size differs in 2grand. The thing is, i'm happy with my PB 12" and am lovin' it each day. So, do a survey and make a wise choice before hand okay..
G'day =)

I have the new retina MacBook Pro. I made an iMovie but there's no idvd. How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

I have the new retina MacBook Pro. I made an iMovie but there's no idvd. How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

Apple no longer sells iDvd. You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.
Ciao.

Mail transfer from the old macbook to the newer retina macbook pro

Hey, My father moved from an old macbook to the new retina macbook pro about 2 months back. Now as he is a business man he requires all his emails from his old mac onto the new macbook. The problem is to integrate his old mail data with 2 months of his current mail data.
All the instructions i have yet found online only seem to be for a new macbook where all the mail data and preferences could be transfered.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Life of the new Retina MacBook Pro's FLASH Architecture?

Dear all,
How long does the new Retina MacBook Pro's flash based SSD memory last? How exactly is a "write" defined? If I'm going to be paying approximately 2K or more, I better be able to use this computer without problems for 6-8 years.
Thanks

You said:

That means you expect to get 8 years out of a notebook computer. 2004 was 8 years ago. Apple was selling iBooks and PowerBooks back then running 10.3. This is at odds with your 2007 MacBook running the latest operating system. Obviously you do not expect to get 6-8 years from a notebook. You are faulting a brand-new machine with brand-new technologies for failing to meet requirements that have never before been imposed by you or anyone else.
Your second sentence is completely unhelpful because "as long as all Apple notebooks last" depends much on the user.
That is correct. If you are the type of person that uses your MacBook Pro for light web surfing, e-mail, newsletters, and as a receptical for Frappuccinos ®, then I can guarantee it won't last 8 years.
If you use it only for its intended purposes, then it may or may not be able to run the lateset operating system in 2017. It may even need a hardware refresh to restore original performance. If you are lucky, it might last until 2020, but no reasonable person would expect that.

Can anyone tell me if they know where I can find a hard case for the new Retina Macbook Pro?

Are there any hard shell cases available for the new Retina Macbook Pro?

I am going to be buying a Retina MacBook Pro this August during the tax free holiday, and was wondering if anyone knew of any hard shell cases that have been made for it, and/or screen protectors. I really don't wan a $2200 computer to get scratched! Thanks

Here is one from amazon.com

I have an old 23 inch cinema display will it be compadible with the new retina MacBook pro?

So I have an old 23 inch cinema display from 2006 and it's been in our basement for a few years and I'm going to buy the new MacBook pro with retina display I'm wondering if these 2 products will be compatible so I could work at my desk the display Powers up fine I just need to know if they're compatible ?

Assuming your 23" Cinema Display has a DVI connector or a built-in DVI cable, all you'll need will be a mini-displayport-to-single-link-DVI adapter or cable, and the display should work well.

Why do the new retina MacBook pros have less processing power than the older models? I am looking to get one, which needs to be powerful.

I noticed that the new MacBook pros with retina displays have less processing power, and memory that then older non retina 15 inch. Why is that?

Are you perhaps talking about a similarly spec'd 15" current gen non-retina against a 15" current retina? If so, then yes, there is a very small subtle difference when benchmarks are measured. It's possible that Apple is downclocking the chips just a tad to keep temperatures in check, but at the same time, it could also be all the extra pixels taking up more processing power and causing the small difference.
I too have seen the same articles from benchmarking websites when the retinas came out.

Will the new 2012 MacBook pro allow me to play my Games console via the hdmi slot?

Hi, I am looking to purchase the new MacBook pro 15 inch retina display for work. I was wondering whether I would be able to play my games console 360/ps3 via the hdmi slot as this would save me prove buying a tv for my flat.

I don't think you can. This is because the there is no "source" on any Mac, this means that you can only use the computer. So what I'm saying is that the MBP with retina display is only "out" so you can only use it to show what's on the monitor on your tv.

Should I go for the new Retina Macbook Pro 13" (announced Oct 2013) or the Macbook Air 13"?

So, I was set on the Macbook Air until Apple announced the new notebook. The reason I was set on Air previously is because I really need a portable laptop, and the Air was lighter. But the new Pro seems light enough if not as light, so I'm confused all over again.
I won't use my laptop for much. I don't use my computer for gaming or high-end photo editing. I might use it for basic photo editing, nothing too special. I'm going to start college soon, which is why I need a portable laptop with good battery life. And I will be typing a lot. I listen to a lot of music, and so, I download quite a lot of music as well. Space is not that big of an issue, since I already own an external hard drive. Other than that, I browse the Internet... basic websites... Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr etc etc.
So, input would be highly appreciated. Which laptop would meet my needs, and will be good in the long run as well? Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, a college student should get the old-fashioned MacBook, NOT the Air.
You are going to be putting this in a backpack and heading off to your next class or lunch four or five times a day. The regular MacBook Pro can stand that abuse -- the Air is much more light and delicate.
If you were an executive, slipping this (in a neoprene sleeve) in and out of your Briefcase once a day, I would say the Air is fine.

When will the new HP Envy 15 be available in Germany and Austria ?

This one: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=...

Strange decision indeed. The Envy 17 is too big and heavy to carry around and the new Spectre seems to miss some power.
I guess I'm going for the Samsung Series 7 now...
