All the data is safe, it&#8217;s the ability to multi task to get work done that is the killer. So when my friend Yechiel at B&#038;H said I should try the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/871860-REG\/Apple_MC975LL_A_15_4_MacBook_Pro_Notebook.html%20\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>MacBook Pro Retina<\/strong><\/a>, he didn&#8217;t know it at the time but he saved my butt! There is no doubt that my Dell m4500 would have worked, it just wouldn&#8217;t have saved my butt. I would have limped by with it and that would have really made my 3 month road trip on the business side, hell! The speed of the Retina and its ability to set up quickly with the all of &#8220;stuff&#8221; that my old desktop functioned with so effortlessly was a treat. Now the Retina is not perfect, Mac is not perfect. I have crashed it, stressed it and when it comes to presenting, it stil sucks. Nothing is perfect but all I know is, that if Yechiel hadn&#8217;t put the Retina in my hands when he did, I would be in a world of hurt.
