Best computer i have ever owned, the display is fantastic with a much thinner bezel then the old MBP, very powerful, runs all apps and games with no problems, something that could not be said for my 2011 MBA.

I have a thunderbolt display and a bad back so losing the optical drive, ethernet and FW is something i am very happy to give up in order to lose an extra pound from the laptop. I would of like to see 802.11ac since they are moving away from ethernet it would of made more sense, i guess it is something we can look forward to in 2013.

Overall this is clearly the best laptop money can buy with just one issue, i am not crazy about the lack of upgradeability of the laptop, to a certain extent this is solved by offering 16GB of ram, something Apple never did before but i think Ivy Bridge supports up to 32GB.

I think in the future if Apple is going to make their laptops impossible to tinker with they should make cheaper BTO options and more of them, would of loved a GTX 660 with 2GB option for this laptop.
