No apple store to check out the macbooks? I just ordered the rMBP, 2.6 16 256(best value I think) for $2499. The SSD is way to expensive to justify for me, my data can be on an external hd or server. They are light and slim enough for me. Movies and photos are amazing and its fast enough to load up Starcraft2 or other games when I want.

Actually no, the tiny island of Malta where i'm currently stationed has only recently seen it's first retail Apple store (not official Apple store) and they lock the laptops down for security reasons such that you cannot pick them up to test how they feel and weigh in the hand. Crazy, I know.
