Can you carry your HD TV's and your HD monitor around with you in your laptop bag?Watched the video for the MacBook Pro with Retina, yeah I have 2 HD TV's and an HD monitor so not really interested in a Retina display, just seems to me a quick way to make extra bucks.
The monitor I can, its a crystal flat panel that fits snuggly in a laptop bag but I wouldn't do that.Can you carry your HD TV's and your HD monitor around with you in your laptop bag?
But in all honesty, don't buy something you don't want.
Welcome to the other side.I own no Apple products, but this will be my first.
Yeah but now I gotta find a way to afford one to buy it. Gonna throw advertisements back up on my site lmao.Welcome to the other side.
Now if they would just create a retina 30" monitor...
lol I know. I installed Microcart today though. I'm going to think up some stuff to sell.That's going to be a lot of banners and clicks to cover the MBPR price
Maybe in a year or two the MBPR will be like <$1800? I'd like that very much .I remember when the first-ever 17'' PowerBook cost over $3,299 for only the base model.

Nope... what they will do is leave the price the same but upgrade components. For example the base models will probably get the retina display at some point, more RAM, faster CPUs, more drive space, etc. But pricing of each model will stay relatively static.I would bet that the base model will be at $1799 or $1899 in two years for sure.
I don't agree with this simply because the price premium of the Retina models currently comes from the high price of such a high-resolution panel, and the high price of SSD's compared to a standard HDD. As these screens are produced in much higher quantities and the price of SSD's continues to drop, the prices will drop.Nope... what they will do is leave the price the same but upgrade components.

The difference here is that they have two MacBook Pro models, the regular one at $1799. and then the next-gen one at $2199. It would make sense that once the Retina MacBook Pro becomes "THE" MacBook Pro, the pricing would drop to the standard $1799 MBP pricing.Well considering the MBPs have been more or less unchanged in price for the last 7-8 years, I'm not sure why they would start dropping the pricing. Apple doesn't need to compete on price, which is why they have like 40% margins... I suspect they will just keep making them better for the same price like they always have.
Yeah... but they will still have a high-end model that is still more expensive... probably will have something like an 8-core processor, 1GB SSD and 32GB RAM standard by then...The difference here is that they have two MacBook Pro models, the regular one at $1799. and then the next-gen one at $2199.

Same press release shows the starting model is $1999.They had a $2500 MBP in 2006:

Starting model $1799.In 2010, the "high-end" dropped to $2300:

Starting model is $1799.In 2011, it was back to $2500:

Again, I don't think this is a fair comparison since the Retina MacBook Pro is a different product. The high end current-gen MBP is $2199, and the starting model is $1799.The high-end configuration is now $2800 in 2012:
