Bought this 13" Macbook Pro Retina recently. It has come with 1 year official warranty.
Its got core i5, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD.
I used Mac OS X (Mavericks & Yosemite) on my HP Probook 4530s along with Windows as a hackintosh for some time and loved every bit of it over Windows.
This compelled me to buy a proper macbook and I can safely say that I'm never going back to Windows ever again for personal use. The Probook is now dedicated to office use only. :geek2:

Here are some pix.

once you go mac, you'll never go back!

But isn't the 128 GB SSD way too less in terms of storage?

You're right about macs. They are too good.
As for storage then I purposely went for lowest storage considering the amount of space I have in external and cloud storage. In my case, extra space wouldn't have been of much use.

but i think apple has always been falsely represented as overpricing their products
i own the new macbook, ipad 4, ipad air 2 and ipad pro and i have never felt so satisfied about any other company;s hardware purchases because of the build quality and longevity of their products

[MENTION=58187]samydroid[/MENTION] congratulations for your purchase......been waiting to buy one myself ever since last year lol thought early this year the skylake refresh would launch then nothing happened now there are rumors of oled touch display instead of function keys maybe yes maybe no lolz

As for macs I have never owned one but I have an iPhone 6s plus ipad 3 and ipad pro 9.7 and I agree with the hardware quality and software optimization part as my ipad 3 still runs though with problems but still its useable....why people dont buy macs etc well for me my purpose of pc is 95% gaming so its the monstrous pc for me all the way and i have about 4 tablets including ms surface and two pcs around so never really felt the need for the mac but yeah I still want to try one maybe this year's refresh or maybe Alienware with gtx 1080/1070 who knows [emoji16]

Get yourself a mac just for the sake of it and I guess you will start drifting away from windows camp... slowly slowly lol :chinese:

Goodluck! Looking forward to your unboxing of new series pro [emoji41] [emoji106]. I hope you aren't concerned about glowing apple logo going away like my friend who has decided to buy current series pro after learning that apple might replace the glowing apple logo with the one on 12"macbook.

Wow! how did it go? [emoji2]
If I didn't have to get a new laptop, I might have removed the windows from hp and kept only mac on it. On my hp the 'only' issue I faced was slightly reduced battery life. Rest all features were working flawlessly.

Congrats! [emoji106] XPS is a great series. Its only drawback is that it has windows lol.
You are right about designs. Pro is getting face-lift this year and hopefully 12" macbook will be the new macbook air.
