Owners of MBP Retina

[masotime]

I just saw the Retina Macbook Pro @ Epicentre Suntec. Display is really amazing, and the scaling is very well done for different resolutions.

[pa9797]

Hmm,I think can both together, I ordered mine through edu discount plus 0% interest free installment plan. Hope this helps

Wow! All my previous orders can only choose one. Now is even more attractive to order via EPP. discount + Int free installment.

Thanks for the info. Will order the new iMac and Mac Pro in the future through this

 

[darren89]

I'm really tempted to cancel my order online and buy from store instead. Anyone knows that /epicentre have ready stocks?

EPP is not applicable for interest free installment. Only edu discount.

EPP is cheaper than edu though.

Super slim...nice

how much bro?

 

[masotime]

Hmmm... USB2.0 is a bit sian though, given that it has USB3.0 and Thunderbolt ports. Anyone know of any good USB3.0 / Thunderbolt based 2.5" external HDDs?

 

[porcu]

this super slim seagate drive comes with USB3.0

Paid $119 @ Challenger. Not too bad for portability and slimness.

U can try WD My Passport Essential/Essential SE. It has USB 3.0 but i'm using it on my USB 2.0 machine.

 

[masotime]

Oh it does? Haha ok. The link you gave me said USB 2.0 though. New revision?

EDIT: Are you actually referring to this one instead? http://www.seagate.com/au/en/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/standard/seagate-slim/

[porcu]

yup, my bad.

Good thing about Seagate is that you can remove the backplate and use the HDD as SATA, or get an adaptor to turn it into Thunderbolt.
Not sure if Thunderbolt for the Slim is available yet or ... ?
