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

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

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

EPP is cheaper than edu though.

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?

this super slim seagate drive comes with USB3.0 :D

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

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 ... ?
