the previously posted approx $100 increase to the macbook pro price due to a retina display i figure accounts for most of the $400 increase.

The gain in vertical real estate is very important for productivity.
That Latitude was great for productivity reasons. Besides the resolution it was the first to sport a Pentium-M, the first Intel CPU designed for mobile. Before they offered a Pentium 4-M, that was just a desktop version roughly transferred to mobile.
All in all, that resolution was great. Only a TN panel, but still it was more than 9 years ago!!!

Apple hasn't supported Blu-ray all this time and is increasing the quality of their online offerings with higher level video AND more free redownloads etc. Highly unlikely they will suddenly turn around and put a blu-ray drive in their machines.

Well, has anyone even considered that those leaked laptops are a 15 Air and not a Pro at all?
The price would fit a 15 Air, not a Pro. If it is a Pro, which I am thinking it is, if it has a SSD those prices are not out of line, as the 13 Air top spec is $1700 US.
It may be for a 15 Air is a possibility.
all that matters is that it seems that a lot of problem will probably have to find an extra ~10% in the money they had in mind for buying a new mac.
great for the upgrades, bad for the wallet.

you dont get it 🙄 current macbook pro 15 retails for AU $2.099 IN AUSTRALIA and the NEW macbook pro 15 supposedly starts at AU $2.499 IN AUSTRALIA so thats a $400 increase. this has nothing to do with currency rates

I thought, the jump in price was due to Australian currency conversion and their taxes.
Current high-end 15" retails for 2499 in Australia. They are likely just dropping the low-end 15" model.

Last decade? I've been "just wanting to buy" Apple products since 1989. So, any strategy they do works on me.
I hope one of those is a Bluetooth keyboard with a number pad. Removing it was one of the dumbest things they've done IMO.

A router with Thunderbolt is not even close to be sane... The bottleneck is the wireless radio which is slower than USB

Remember the craze about the K48 2,5 years ago!
That one really was the New Moon Special Lacquered Duck with Fried Noodles and Dumplings set of its era !
If the TC is connected via a cable and used for backup purposes mainly, you might as well just use a simple external HDD for that. If you need the NAS part (ie, want other computers to access it as well), you need to connect it via a networking protocol (WiFi, Ethernet). TB is not a networking protocol, though you can tunnel a networking protocol like Gbit-Ethernet or 10 Gbit-Ethernet or Fibre Channel over it.
