I have historically used windows based desktops and laptops. Since I have owned several IPhones with latest being the IPhone 6 along with and Ipad I have been thinking about purchasing a Macbook Pro 15". I am retired from the military and the local Marine Corps exchange has the Macbook Pro Retina 15" reduced from $2,500 to $2,250. It has a 512 SSD, I7 CPU, and 16gb of memory. Also the base does not charge sales tax. Some of my fellow co-workers use either the Macbook Air or Pro and they have nothing but praise to say about the product and they made the switch from Windows based laptops.
I always do research when buying a new product. This morning I am reading about the screens of the retina displays having stains. In fact there is a web site titled "Staingate". Reading the Apple forum. owners are stating Apple is not going to cover the discolored screens. Most have reported the screens have started to have what appears to be stains in as little as 7 months.
My concern is investing $2,250 and having to deal with a potential screen issue down the road and it will not be covered under warranty. Has anyone that owns a Macbook Pro with the retina experienced this problem? I am inclined to hold off on my purchase at this point.
