ok, after reading a ton of horror stories here about heat,tint, noise blah, blah, blah, HOW do I go about properly testing my new system, what should I REALLY be on the look out for?
Heat is pretty easy to check, just like anything else, I am guessing those who DO complain are in the minority.
I do plan on loading the programs that I will be using.
might run 2 of those at the same time, see how it performs.
since this would be my sons FIRST Mac, anything in particular that we should really pay attention to?
Other than that, heat and noise issues are model specific, not piece specific. It is generally agreed upon that MacBooks are cooler and more silent than most other laptops. The only complaints about heat are due to the Aluminium chassis, which conducts heat more than plastic chassis.
from the apple store, thanks.
If you're getting a refurbished model, then don't worry about anything. The only issue in the mid-2012 rMBP models was that the LG panels had really bad image retention. However, it's really not that big an issue in most cases.
