I wanted to hold out for the 13" retina as I didn't think the 15" would fit in my usual backpack cabin baggage the way my 13" unibody does. Unfortunately I looked at the dimensions and realised the 15" was only 7mm or so deeper, making it an easy fit.
Now I have a bigger screen but a slimmer wallet. Did flush some moths out if it so not a total loss. It actually feels lighter than the 13" it replaces, because the same weight is distributed over a wider area. A sort of haptic illusion.
Apart from rarely having to wait for anything to happen, the sheer silence is such a joy - unless one runs x-plane, then you can hear the airstream rushing past the cockpit even when the sound is turned off.
