MacBook Pro 15.4-Inch Laptop with Retina Display

As a graphic designer and photographer I ordered the new Macbook as soon as I heard about the upgraded display. Adobe has yet to release updates to CS6 that optimize the software for the screen, but it is still an amazing improvement over the previous generation.
Better graphics: For several years now I have run a MBP connected to an external 25 inch monitor to do my design work. The previous MBP screen never gave me the size or resolution needed to work with it full time. Since upgrading I find myself leaving the new screen open to edit photos and design constantly while using my external monitor to just run tools and manage email.
Better Portability: I have used Adobe Lightroom which supports tethered cameras. However it was always too big of a pain to bring my previous MBP along on a shoot to really utilize this feature. I was seriously considering purchasing a Macbook Air just to fulfill this purpose. The new MBP is light and compact enough to easily bring it along a photoshoot and do quick on the fly edits in tethered mode. Speeds up the whole photo process by getting perfect shots by reviewing as I shoot.
I know some people will gripe about the lack of upgradability and no optical drive. I choose to max out my RAM, at 16gb it is more than you can get on the previous gen MBP. I have not used an optical drive in several years, so that was no big deal.
