    Pros:
    - blazingly fast with ssd
    - smaller and lighter
    - great battery life
    - excellant speakers

    Cons
    - the web and old applications like CS4 look blurry on retina
    - thunderbolt replaces mini-dvi and dvi so you need to buy adapters
    - the old power adapters don't fit anymore without an adapter
    - they reversed the trackpad scrolling so that's annoying (down is up, up is down - wtf)

    • oh ya, and there is no network cable port so you need a thunderbolt adapter there toospot13
    • uh, that trackpad is fully customizable. you can change the scrolling to any direction you want in the Settings.CanHasQBN
    • I actually prefer the new scrolling. It really does make more sense.monospaced
    • I think it makes sense if you are also using an iPhone or tablet (consistency)ribit
    • whatever. it's still a conspot13
    • how can it be a con if it's a non-issue?monospaced
