After debating since the announcement, I decided to bite the bullet and order a rMB. I got a backpack for Uni, USB-C to USB adapter just until I go wireless {hopefully sometime soon!}. Also, free beats, because you know, free! {I don't think I got charged 1p for them haha!} Everything should arrive on Friday :DView attachment 574834

Just curious why you didn't get the 13" model? How did you get the headphones for free?

I already have a 13" rMBP, I just wanted to try out the rMB. It was delivered today - a day early - and I'm really liking it so far, although the keyboard is going to take a little bit getting used to. I'm also really impressed with the speakers, they're amazing!

Yeah, like dfausty said, it's part of the Back to School offer for 2015 :)

See my thread in Jailbreaking section. 10,000 redemption codes available.

Hmm, I put a rMB in my cart along with the Beats and its not coming up as free.
 
It's an Apple Store thing. If you buy from anyone other than Apple, there's no "deal".

In the past when they've had gift cards for the back to school promo I believe that people have been able to get retailers like Best Buy to match the offer, so, it may work with the beats headphones as well.
 
How do you like this drive? Thinking about adding it to my MBA for my iTunes library.
I love it. I never carry my external hdd in my bag anymore. it's fast too. Some reviews say they are getting slower than advertised read/write speeds but I get a little over on a 2013 MBA. Some reviews also complain about the drive ejecting when their machine wakes from sleep but I don't have that problem.
