I really think people are under estimating the price. The difference between the 11" and 13" air is $100....i think it will be the same between the 13" and 15" retina....making it $1999 at the cheapest and keeping the student discount at only $100 off. Maybe $2099 and giving you $200 off
Yeah, but the has a discrete, and pretty up to date, graphics card. The 13" won't. I think it will be a couple of hundred dollars more than the closest specced macbook air.
I wouldn't be surprised if apple axes the 13" macbook pro non retina line completely if a 13" retina comes out.
