Not if they try using IGZO tech which will save them throwing a massive battery in there = saved space.
And 13" MBPs have 2 fans I believe...

Because some of the will be programmers. Others will eat probiotic yoghut. The next ones have to way the pros and cons in philosophy.
Do you see what I did there?
PS: it's not about what they need - it's about what they want and can afford. Guess why Freshmen in college all get credit card applications.
Awesome! As much as I'm excited for the iPhone, ipad mini, ect, THIS is what I want the most this year!
I assumed $400 given that's the difference for the 15" retina vs non-retina display.
The pro is a great machine if you still need an internal DVD, or need a large internal drive and don't want to spend the crazy cost for an Apple supplied SSD (Yes, check the prices they are REDICULOUS -- $1000 to get a 512gb SSD from a mechanical drive is about 2x the cost of an aftermarket 512gb)

Ummm, was there a joke in there somewhere?
Or are you just trying to bait me into correcting your spelling of "yoghurt" and "weigh"?
Absolutely no way I'd ever fall for that old trick. Oh wait.
I see your point. I wonder if Intel sees your point too.
Want: MacBook Air.
Can afford: Ultrabook. If only it was $200 - $300 cheaper.
I'm hoping my not-so-often-used 2009 MBP holds out until more of my daily apps support retina resolutions. Then it's game on.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about computers that are currently for sale. Like the ones during Apple's back to school promotion. Like a certain 13" MacBook Pro that currently does have an ODD.
$400 is what you pay for extra RAM, SSD drive, and retina display. SSD drives are expensive. If you bothered checking out the price for the 15" MBP with the same RAM and SSD drive as the Retina MBP, the Retina MBP is considerably cheaper.
A discrete GPU would be a requirement baring an unannounced Intel processor.
SSD's are becoming cheaper everyday
----------
I think Haswell, like Ivy bridge and Sandy bridge before it, is getting overhyped. People always want a massive boost in performance but Intel has been delivering 10-15% performance boosts in each new generation of processors and I expect Haswell will go the same way.

Same here!
I'm was basing that on your prognosticated estimate of the rumored 13" MBP with Retina versus the current 13" MBA. I would guess that, while the 13" MBP with Retina is going to fetch a pretty penny over a standard 13" MBP, it shouldn't be too much more expensive than a 13" MBA (likely between $250 to $400 more for the 13" MBP with Retina) due to the MBA's SSD.
While I'm not sure that is completely fair without a closer look (can depend on SSD), that's one reason places like OWC continue to exist and flourish. However, when I was looking at the difference between going with the base 13" MBA and upgrading the SSD or just buying the 13" MBA with 256GB drive, I didn't see a ton of advantage going that route from an economic standpoint and for our needs.
Some design schools happen to recommend Macbook Pros over other computers. This is likely to do with streamlining software, instruction, workflow, lab access, and generally transitioning to be working in similar professional environments.
Not every student is a rich whiny kid that has to have everything.
Let me know which Starbucks you go to. I will sit next to your with my dell laptop I bought in 2000. That wil make your new Mac really pop
I expect this is the start of that trend - the MBA will be for maximum lightness, so no Retina Display (at least until it draws less power) to allow for a smaller battery in the tapered case. The MBP will have the Retina Display (the thicker case allowing more battery capacity). Neither will have an optical drive, a spinning metal hard drive or large-format ports (like Ethernet).
I can't believe Apple is gearing towards consumers and forget the pros that sustained their business since 1984...
That would be because it appears consumers are the ones now sustaining Apple's business and driving sales, not "pros".
I usually choose the seat closest to the door. It helps to have the Apple logo half way between the door and the line. Make sure the screen isn't tilted too much, you want it to be obvious that you are "cool" with your Mac. Not make sure you get a large coffee and have the Starbucks logo facing out too. Don't use a heat thing because that makes the logo seem hidden and the cup unappealing. Good luck, and makes us proud out there. Soon you will have people staring in jealousy as you watch cats on YouTube or just play angry birds on Chrome.
Knew it was fake
This has been a fake all along. This article should be deleted. 10.8.1 was always going to be a 'B' build train. An 'A! Build train with a four digit build number would be for hardware released after the 10.8.0 release but prior to 10.8.1.

According to the geekbench output in the article, it only has a dual core processor. I thought the 15" had a quad core.
I find this result pretty hard to believe. Dual core (same as the Air) in the 13" Pro (same as the air)? If they go with integrated graphics as rumored, then there's barely any difference apart from the display and the processing power is half that of the Macbooks released earlier this year.
Oh okay thanks. Just looking at the teardown, it's crazy how much space the optical drive takes up in the 13 inch!

Agreed. Apple will have to add something substantial to a 13 inch retina pro to price it in the 1700-1800 starting bracket and distinguish it from the current Airs and Pros.

All joking aside, I went on holiday to Germany and in 3 days didn't see a single Mac. That was until I stopped at a local starbucks for a frap and counted EIGHT as soon as I walked in. There were no PCs around.
Because a very high resolution display is not something substantial ?
It is but you have to remember that spec for spec, the current 15 inch rMBP is $100 CHEAPER than a uMBP.
Considering that precedent, it would be odd for Apple to tack on $400 onto the 13 inch with the only differentiator being the retina display.
