I love Peter Cohen’s writing at imore.com. In his latest article he writes about the Retina MacBook Pro 15” he owns:

Lately I’ve been realizing that that’s how some people have been viewing me when I haul out my 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro at Starbucks. I sit down with my venti iced drink and open my backpack, and sometimes when I pull my Mac out, I’ll catch someone giving me a sideways, skeptical glance.

and then

For me, I’ll stick with the 15-inch for now. It has the right combination of no-compromises horsepower, features and screen real estate that I not only want but legitimately need for what I do.

And I’ll accept the skeptical looks of people who see me hauling this big laptop out of my bag.

But I’m not overcompensating for anything, I swear. I just really like the bigger MacBook Pro.
