wow. the rMBP is a lot tougher than i would have expected it to be
Just last week my mother's month old Rmbp 13" fell off the ironing table and the right back corner got bent. Surprisingly it was still completely functional, but we replaced the body just to be sure that the warranty wouldn't get denied.

Looks like PATA and SCSI. If he has tons of IDE drives, it might not be too bad. But he didn't specify so I assume that's the case. He may be better off getting a SATA capable machine though if he has SATA drives.

My sister managed to drop hers off her bed onto tile floor and bent the hinge in a way that it wouldn't stay shut completely. She dropped it off the window-sill onto that same floor literally days later and now it shuts properly. I don't even fucking know. Its miracle the HDD and screen are in good shape.

Safari 7 by far. If it's speed you are looking for, it really won't get much better than Safari. At least on my Macbook, Chrome is consistently slower than Safari.

These Unibody machines are pretty much the toughest thing you can get, short of a ToughBook. Ours have consistently amazed us with the ability to withstand the most extreme butterfingering, culminating in dropping mine from a height of more than 6 feet onto a hardwood floor. It continued to work for more than a year before a fractured logic board took it down.

safari is buttery smooth and I would use it myself but the constant refreshing you can't disable is infuriating for me

I prefer Safari in almost every way except for how it handles tabs. I can never merge two windows together like Chrome, and it always feels laggy when splitting tabs into new windows.
I also dislike how it always reloads the page when you go back, often losing your place if you were on a page that loads asyncronously

Yeah it's awful, I wish there was some kind of tweak to prevent this. Like a cache of perhaps 5 webpages back

I think it's a feature to save memory or something but it's ridiculous given how abundant memory is and how dynamic webpages are now
so my Late 2013 rMBP takes forever to reconnect to wifi after being asleep for a while. Was a fix ever found? These are all over the Apple discussion boards but most solutions there are conflicting or don't work.
[QUOTE=sambooo;44972484]I think it's a feature to save memory or something but it's ridiculous given how abundant memory is and how dynamic webpages are now[/QUOTE]
Yeah I think people need to look at whether or not it's refreshing the pages or if they've just been evicted from memory. For example, when you load Facebook and Anandtech and then a third page on a 64bit iPad it will usually kick whichever you visited first out of RAM after you look at the second and third. Full fledged PCs should never be evicting webpages from memory entitrely though; at worst any flash based device should move the page to swap.
Also for anecdotal purposes, on my hackintosh I never noticed tabs refreshing or being kicked out of RAM. I don't know if it only happens on real macs.

un all seiousness, the brushed metal was pretty ugly, but I did like everything else from early os x like the flat dock and the rounded menu bar and pre-tiger, the stripes on everything.
How bad of an idea is it to get a Macbook Pro right now as apposed to waiting until after the WWDC?
You probably want to wait, considering its less than a day away.
[QUOTE=Brandy92;44973573]You probably want to wait, considering its less than a day away.[/QUOTE]
Do you anticipate that we will know tomorrow if there'd be something that would affect my decision?
Its well within the realm of possibility.

We know for a fact that they will not change the spec significantly as the Broadwell processors won't ship till Q4 of this year. I've read some rumours that the 800M series GPU would be used if Apple did refresh the MBP line, which would only affect the high end model. I don't really know what else would change. In all likelihood, WWDC is a developer event which is focused on software so, no harm in waiting but unlikely to see any change.

Broadwell rMBP won't be until Q1 2015. rMBA will be Q4 of this year as a Broadwell launch platform.

So hype. If the iWatch isn't too prohibitively expensive (it shouldn't be as expensive as, say, an iPod touch due to it's expected size and functionality), then it'll be a day one purchase for me.
I only hope Apple integrates a camera into the iWatch. They presumably will.
I also presume that the iWatch will, like the iPad, iTunes, and the iPod, completely get everyone hype for a specific new technology (iTunes basically kickstarted the whole digital distribution of music, iPod popularized hard drive/flash based MP3 players, and the iPad reinvigorated the tablet computer market) and make wearable computing a very stimulated market.

I'm not sure on the dock but I like the iOS7-esque music player on the side there.

I can be sure it is performing full, networked refreshes, and it's not time-constrained. I can click the view latest posts link on a thread and go back literally a second after doing that and it'll refresh and get rid of the latest posts link.
I really don't see why they've made it that way, memory is plentiful and so is fast swap.
