Retina MacBook

So I have ordered a Retina MacBook Pro, against my better judgement it cost me about 2.5k. I opted for a lower end models with upgraded RAM, as I am getting a Terabyte HDD for schoolwork storage. It should be at my house by August 9th. In the mean time I am ecstatic, but I seriously hope it was worth the extra dough. Anyone else here have one?

UPDATE: It is now going to be here by thursday.

In response to what has been said:

I do not like PCs anymore, and I would rather pay for my Macbook Pro any day than deal with the nightmare that windows is.

On Upgradeability, it is a drawback but an esata to thunderbolt adapter and my external drive should negate any drawbacks, plus 16GB of RAM is a lot to have. I also paid with my credit card so I get two years of accidental coverage, courtesy of AMEX. Luckily the balance will be paid off as soon as my bill comes in.

I'm just sick of all the prep work a cheaper PC involves, plus the retina macbook was exactly what I was waiting for: A revolutionary, sleek system that can kick window's behind. Anyone can see that OS X has inherently better management than ANY windows computer,heck, when XP was still the norm, Tiger was pioneering new OS features. Plus, I get a free upgrade to ML

You could save an ***load, have upgradability, and still not have to deal with Windows by going the Hackintosh route, y'know.

The hackintosh route has many freaking obstacles, including but not limited to:

Arseload of prep work, t/e and frustration, hair pulling, beers etc.
Alienation of helpful Mac users, as most fora disallow the discussion of hackintosh
Lack of support from Apple or the OEM

In retrospective, I could have chosen a more affordable or upgradable Mac, but I did not, and if I truly ever need To upgrade, I can imagine I could recoup a fair bit of investment as I doubt the cost of these babies is gonna go down anytime soon. Just got a magic mouse for it and using it on my mini. Fun fun fun
