FWIW I wanted to add that this is an excellent choice. The retina display is AMAZING and if you are using it as your main then I would go with it. After using my wife's 11in MacBook Air my 15 inch MBP feels like I'm lugging around the titanic. The 17 in is just a little too big to want to take an

i've used the mac 15 and played with the 17 inch model. I found the extra screen space of the 17 inch didn't justify the price or the added weight. The 15 inch MacBookPro performed as well, and was much lighter. If you need the larger monitor, there's always external ones. The Retina display is
