"Find my Mac" is a poor substitute for preventing it walking in the first place.The Retina display is beautiful, but the GPU struggles with 1 GB of V-RAM when asked to run external displays. The sacrifices made to strip a few mm off the thickness, take the gloss off what would otherwise have been an excellent Pro portable.Whoever decided that no user would want a security slot to secure their $3k+ portable computer should be beaten severely about the head.

The MB Pro R would have been a near perfect "Pro" machine if Apple had simply added the Retina display, USB3 and extra Thunderbolt port the the previous model. Overall this is the best computer I have owned. You can buy whole enclosures if you want to really keep adding things to this computer. It's not the most elegant solution for every situation, but yes, it does provide a measure of expandability and oddly enough something that gets overlooked.

The Thunderbolt ports provide a surprising amount of things you can upgrade and add to this computer. It's a very fast machine in other typical tasks such as office type documents (iWork), and web browsing. That's why, in my view, it's not a total wash in terms of upgradability. Interestingly though OWC offers a SSD upgrade though. At the time of purchase you need to purchase the ram and SSD it comes with. The only sore point is that you can't upgrade RAM. The Retina display definitely does make a difference. The screen is incredible and makes everything have that extra 'pop'. I ran some initial tests with XCode,iPhoto, and Aperture.

In terms of processing power and performance this is dynamite.
