No way that a Retina Display would make the price of the 15" go as high as 3000$, especially if no SSD is included at this price. It was estimated that it would cost Apple about 100$ more to make those displays, no way that they're going to charge the customer 1000$ more. If anything, it's more likely that they will absorb the cost to maintain a constant price through time, like they did with the new iPad.
If this was some sort of BTO with 512GB of SSD and 16GB of RAM preinstalled by Apple, 3k may be right but not on a standard configuration without SSD.
Does anybody know if those specs stickers are also applied to BTO machines? 16GB RAM can be true only if it's BTO IMO.

. You never seem to post anymore. I was just guessing where they may have looked for it. I was referencing the mobile workstation lines, so really a different market with limited volume, and in the case of the HP it may have taken additional programming to make it compliant with their software. It had nothing to do with what Apple would actually charge. I would've liked to see IPS a year or two ago on the macbook pros.
