I've waited so long for the new Mac mini... I bought a MBP Retina!

Which rMBP did you buy? [And what spec?]

13" 2.4GHz i5, with 256GB HD and 16GB RAM.

Sure, I'm using photoshop + illustrator at the same time, using large files. Outlook, Mail, chrome, iTunes, and firefox are all open as well. On my Mac Mini I use a 25" screen and a 19" screen (this is a MBPr limitation without connecting it to the screens, I know).

The speed of the MBPr running graphics-intensive software / virtualization is incomparable.

I also use Parallels and run autocad in windows.



Thank you!

13" 2.4GHz i5, with 256GB HD and 16GB RAM.

So you went from a dual core to dual core, integrated graphics to integrated graphics, (better performing I know, but not radically). The biggest change I can see is the SSD and extra RAM, but both of these could have been achieved on the mini too (and cheaper perhaps...).

But hey, you do have a sweet laptop, stunning screen, TB2 etc etc, so maybe there's enough there for you.

Hope it gives you great service.
