Resolved rMBPs are not bright enough in my opinion?

I think you need to remember you're in a store, the lights there compared to being at home will be a lot different. This will have a visual effect on yourself.
Then don't buy one? The rMBPs are bright enough to cause eye fatigue at the highest brightness IMO.
The whole point is at home it will be brighter (as stated in my first post)...unless you home is lit up like a store, then yes you'll be disappointed...
There is literally no way to know what the next lot of screens will be like (pretty much the same I'd imagine though).
If Apple don't make what you want buy something else.

I've researched quite a bit of different devices and the screen was pretty much one of the brightest of any laptop or tablet with the iPad being brighter at or around 420 nits
My rMBP rarely goes over 75% brightness. Typically it's set to 50% or less.
Oh gee never thought of that.
WOW IT WORKED THANKS!
I never take out my sunglasses
NEVER.
The screen brightness in the stores is WAY brighter than you ever need at home. I rarely run my MBP above 50%; my Dell external 4k display burns my eyes on its default setting, so if you are used to that level of brightness in the store you surely don't need it at home unless you are sitting outside in broad daylight.
yeah i got mine now and its perfectly fine. those stores are so bright wtf
I'm here to serve. Seriously though, my rMBP 13 screen is way brighter than my 17" and 14" inch Lenovo's as well as much sharper, so I'm happy with it. Must confess I never look at stuff in stores, every laptop I've owned has been an internet buy.
