Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy a rMBP? Assuming I'm okay (although not happy with) the cost.

If we're just throwing anecdotes out there, my 15" rMBP is the worst Mac I've ever bought. Terrible image retention* that's rendered Photoshop unusable, insane graphics glitches when waking from sleep (bugged out static across everything, among other errors), it crashed (full-blown kernel panics) more in the first week than my 2007 MBP did in 5 years, randomly restarts, among all kinds of other :psyduck: issues. Knowing what I know now I'd have never bought this thing, though Haswell will be better, I'm sure.

*I've taken it to 4 separate Apple stores, they've all told me it's my problem; even when showing them how bad it is and posts on the Apple support boards confirming that this should be covered under warranty, their response is essentially that I can get hosed.

Mine's been flawless and perfect, as have the other three that are roaming around my place of work. Anecdote, how do you do?
