well, I don't think Apple's going to be making x86 processors, so then you'd have to invoke an ARM MacBook Air.

Or AMD... I still think it will stay Intel based.

By analyzing this chart, this probably means that the current 13 inch and 15 inch cMBP will be done away with, being replaced by the retina versions of each.
I am always astonished at the people who think dumping Intel and using an Apple "CPU" would be a good thing.
It would be a monumental stupid thing to do...

If the whole MacBook lineup is going Retina, then I and all the people who've signed petitions for anti-glare screens are going to anxiously wait to see if the all-Retinas are going to include an anti-glare option.
I agree with you.
However profit, and pushing prices higher seemed to be Apple's main purpose behind "Retina" from day one. It's what Apple is about.
Apple is getting Greedy.
Steve jobs said that 10" was the only reasonable size for a tablet, too.
Then move your desk ffs. I get that the glare is annoying, I wholeheartedly agree, I've had a 27" Thunderbolt displays and iMacs for a while, it can be a pain. But a desk lamp behind your screen, some curtains, a desk adjustment... these are not cutting-edge technologies. If you're in a brightly lit open-plan office, well, get a job in the mines.If the whole MacBook lineup is going Retina, then I and all the people who've signed petitions for anti-glare screens are going to anxiously wait to see if the all-Retinas are going to include an anti-glare option.
I've tried out the Retinas and the latest 2012 iMacs - and the advertised 75% less reflective screen has to do with the intensity of the reflection, i.e. the reflection is darker. But the reflection is still there, and you can see the detail of what is behind you. It's darker, but still as clear as ever. Hence, if someone held a book open behind you, the reflection of the Retinas and new iMacs would be darker than the earlier glossy screens, but you would still be able to read the writing of the book's reflection.
Hence, the reflections are still annoying under CERTAIN lighting conditions.
It's still a total disaster if your new 2012 iMac or Retina MacBook Pro has its screen directly facing a sun-lit window where the exterior is in total sunshine.
Tim Cook has no idea how bad, in some but not all, lighting conditions, these still-glossy screens can make life so difficult for some users, because Tim Cook uses his iPad 80% of the time.
My mid 2012 mbp 13 was my first macbook now I think it will be my last as well. I dont like having a laptop I cant upgrade. Im also not a fan of ssd. I like having a large amount of internal memory.
Im ok with the super drive being taken out but there should be a hdd option.
And retina display just doesnt impress me much. The display on my non retina mbp is just fine.
Oh, PLEASE don't make the whole line Retina displays. I don't want to be locked in to paying extra for a screen resolution I don't need...
That's how I read it, too. Perhaps Apple is close to introducing its own processor. If that happens, I think it would silence those who criticize Tim Cook as not being an innovative CEO.
Same here. Superdrive Shmuperdrive. If anybody needs one get a $ 29 external and be honest about how often you actually use it.
Like many I make my own upgrades as I have the money and need them.
Right now we can get away with a good base model with as much HD space as fits and then wait for a while to add memory.
SSD also has a way to go.
The initial price tag at purchase for an all decked out MBP 15 inch is going to be too high for many.
I know they want to drive us all into the cloud this and cloud that, but I just can't trust that concept.
Between no internet access, depending on where one is or provider outages and Apple's non stellar record in that field Dropbox is the best solution for me.
I thought the current ARM designs were 32bit only though? In other words no 8GB RAM or 64 bit applications
