Detailed review
I can't speak to everything, but as a replacement to my old White, pre-Unibody MacBook, this thing is amazing. The screen is by far the most noticeable thing. It doesn't fully make sense until you launch something that hasn't been fully upgraded for retina displays. Everything is crisp and you forget that glare was really even a problem. I only notice the glare on the non-display, black edge of the screen, so it isn't really a problem at all.
