Hmm… You might be right. (Typing this on my 2011 MBP with anti-glare option.) I'd better not say too much until I actually see one of these new screens in person methinks.
Got a tip for us?

Unfortunatly Apples does sell at this price in Brazil. So while Brazilians pay $5000 for it, Apple will charge. I also dont think this is all government taxes, there a lot of Apple tax too.
PS.: I'm not buying it.
Agreed but apple's solution is different. It isn't a drive, it is built into the bus on the motherboard. Not a separate swappable drive. It would be like saying the iPhone/iPad has an SSD....
What the mac pro is not geting usb 3.o and thunder bolt updates?!?!?!

$3454 with student discount for a fully loaded 15" Retina.....
Man, I make some pretty good money but this is a tough pill to swallow...My 13" Air is a speed demon, and serves me well, but man would this new machine be nice....

so RAM whatever you select when you purchase your configuration, you are stuck with? that means i have to pay there ridiculous +$200 to go from 8gb to 16gb and cannot put in another stick myself?
any help? wanna make sure i understand this right
Thats why Mac OS enables HiDPI mode. It means that instead of everything taking up 1 pixel and looking 4x smaller, they take up 4x the pixels and have 4x the detail.
I guess my question is: how much did you think it was going to be?
A standard MBP 15 base model is ~$1800 (USD), an upgraded 8GB is $2200, this is an entirely new chassis, with dual TB ports, the +brand+ new display technology, SSD, etc., for $2200. if anything Im surprised its not a little more than the upgraded non-retina 15 (more like 2300-2400).
I think there will be a number of folks who would like the larger SSD but who dont want to pay the premium for the CPU upgrade (like a $2499 512GB, 2.3Ghz model).

I think just a few morons will. The ones that have $5000 to do it, also have money enough to travel abroad and buy one a lot cheaper. And have a little vacation too.
Said the MacPro was dead before. Ok, so they did not kill it they just sliced it's wrists and are going to let it bleed all over the floor.
Who ever buy's one of these turkeys get's what they deserve and to those who ridiculed me before because I said it was going to be killed, Bite Me. It is dead, Apple is just forcing the market to justify what it wants to do anyway.

Ok paradox.... My bad. I was under the impression it was sodered on to the motherboard..... You enlightened me! Cheers
No iMac
No iMac
Only because I bought a refurb 3.4GHz in Feb that came with bonus 2TB drive and 2GB card for free
But I feel your pain.
but ...
it got some speed bumps... it did NOT get thunderbolt or even USB 3.0. What the heck? Even the graphics cards are old.
sigh. writing is on the wall. RIP
I just sent in a Macrumors tip....
THE MAC PRO DID GET UPDATED! (silently)
Go to the store, you'll see the "new" tag on it.
and go check out the base specs, the cost of ram upgrades, it's all CHANGED
SO YES! NEW MAC PRO!!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Apple is contributing to the high tax but I'm also sure the government is the one who is taking the majority of it. The government knows that these are hot items and tax the hell out of them, knowing that people will still purchase them.
It's a damn shame!!!
As if expensive weren't bad enough for the MBP, lack of upgradability is truly WTF.
Kind of liked the option of keeping the optical drive so you could run a 256 SSD + 1TB HDD and have ludicrous storage for a non-ludicrous price.
Retina display is great but precious little support, and losing the optical drive is fine, but to have so, so few BTO options is just ridiculous.

Very glad I didnt sell my early 2011 13" MBP... Looks like it's a keeper for another year...
