Retina. Once you stop seeing pixels, it's painful to start seeing them again.

Ì'm waiting for the retina iMac/display, because working without external mouse and keyboard never worked for me (and 15" is probably too small for the desktop)
Pity, apple has the best trackpad. My wife is also waiting for the iMac UHD, though I'm tempted to buy a samsung 28" UHD myself.
I have mine on a stand, plugged to a large screen, with an external trackpad and a Microsoft Natural keyboard. The next step is to upgrade the display to 4k.
I second that. My MBPr13, while natively having a screen equivalent to the 800x1280 of the old 13, is now configured to the 1050-line display once found on the 17 inch model and it still looks great.

Once you can't see the pixels, the display becomes infinitely flexible.
