The thinness of the retina MacBooks looks very appealing to me, but i can get a much better computer internal components wise for the price with a non retina display.
At work I have my my current MacBook hooked up to an external display, with the screen on the MacBook only being used for Outlook and referencing mockups. At home, I will use the MacBook as a secondary computer since I recently built a decent gaming rig.
So, those with retina MacBooks - do you think your purchase was worth the extra cost?
