The whole thing is a heatsink guys, I'm pretty sure the fans aren't really necessary. Dude probably even gets an extra 5 minutes of battery life without all those garbage fans sucking up energy too. Sarcasm.. just in case it wasn't obvious

Extra 1/2 lb here and there in a messenger bag really can stress your back/shoulder over time. I don't think the 13 rMBP is really worth it until the next refresh, but I'm also not the target for it- so I prefer an MBA to it.

I don't think most businesses/professionals who would use a mac pro would use a hackintosh for their work. They're generally pretty stable, but when every bit of downtime or trouble potentially costs you a lot of money, it's better to pay more and get a secure and stable machine. For the record, I've been exclusively using a hackintosh and it's been extremely stable over the past 6 months - but occasionally my stock trading program will crash, and it never did on my macbook air- but that could be coincidental with newer versions of java causing problems, not necessarily the machine.

Modest speed upgrade probably mean the same excellent increase in battery life.

movax posted:It's totally an effect of PSU load / transients, I'm just disappointed because I hold Apple to a higher standard of engineering and they messed up something simple. Yeah I looked up the issue and it doesn't look like it was "only" a bad batch of PSUs - lots of people have noted the issue, but it doesn't appear to be something that geniuses acknowledge and replace - from what I saw.
