Now things are starting to make some sense:
Last year:
October 23, 2012: Apple announces the 4th generation iPad, faster than the 3rd generation and also with a retina display, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a retina display.
And then, six days later...
October 29, 2012: Google announces Nexus 10, a tablet with a 2560x1600 resolution, for US$ 399.
This year:
February 13, 2013: Apple drops the price of the retina 13-inch MacBook Pro, which now costs US$ 1,499 (the base model) and US$ 1,699 (the higher end model).
And now, eight days later...
February 21, 2013: Google announces the Chromebook Pixel, a laptop with a 12.85-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1700, starting at US$ 1,300.
Do you see a pattern here is it just me?
