MacBook Pro 15inch retina

Just got the MacBook Pro 15inch retina from work. 

A 2.7Ghz quad core i7. 

So much power packed into a really thin laptop.  The MacBook Pro is really an ultra portable laptop.  At 15 inches, it weights only 4 lbs.

Just played Metro the last light on it.  Great gaming laptop.

I probably wont' get much work done on it.

My co-worker got one too.. It's so tiny.. I need glasses to see. 

No, your friend chose to set it to small text.

Lucky you.  I'd like to have one to surf and write stories on while I'm chillin' on the couch or on the bed.  My iMac sits in the office/study and it's no fun writing a story in an office-like room.

If you only care about writing, a 13 or 11 inch MacBook air with retina screen would be perfect.

I used to have a MacBook ages ago but traded it in for an iMac, which I needed because I design and do a lot of art stuff.  But, just on the side, I also write.  Some days I just want to sit on the couch and write and thus, I dream of the MacB.

I mean, I do write on my iMac too...it's just not the same.  Art and writing are two different crafts and require different settings to get the best work out of each.

Of course, I already spent an arm and leg on my iMac so the MacBook will only be a dream. 

Do you just play games on yours?  If it's work related, what kind of work do you do? (in general)

I teach.  They asked what I need.  So i told them i want a macbook pro, and 4 desktop computers for research and a laser printer.  I could tell them to order the highest end macbook pro but I feel bad so I take the mid range one.
