Tuesday June 12, 2012 10:53 AM PDT by Jordan Golson

Retinambp
One day after its release at WWDC, Apple has already issued a software update for the MacBook Pro (Retina).

The update, which weighs in at mere 1.26MB, fixes an issue with the trackpad being intermittently unresponsive:

About MacBook Pro (Retina) Trackpad Update 1.0

This update addresses an issue where the trackpad may not respond consistently to user input, and is recommended for all MacBook Pro with Retina display notebooks.

The updater will install in the Applications/Utilities folder and will launch automatically. Follow the instructions to complete the process.

Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source when running the update.

I'd rather get some updates on day 1, then wait weeks or months for fixes from other unnamed companies.

Is it just me or isn't this computer getting way too many updates for a Day 1 device? :eek:

It's normal, they manufactured these machines weeks ago, and they probably found some bugs since then. I guess they're only releasing the updates now to avoid rumor sites going "Apple issues firmware update for unreleased notebook, therefore Retina MBP confirmed!".
