No they won't. They would've kept the classic 17" MacBook Pro if they cared for that form factor at all.I'll be interested to see if they do end up bringing back the 17" Macbook Pro with Retina, I would buy that in a heartbeat.
You buy an 15" MacBook Pro with Retina and set the resolution to scaled 1920×1200 pixels look-a-like mode.I've been struggling to figure out what to do ever since they discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro. Mobile is great, but I need a portable workstation.
but it's less expensive to sell your machine and buy an new one with the upgrades you want.
What are they waiting for? Assuming it's released in Oct that's 5 months after the MBA with Haswell. By the time I get one people will already be talking about Intel's next processor. Not happy about this. I need a new machine and this wait is a real pain.
But what is the purpose of getting a retina display on a computer anyway? I'm still trying to justify this in my mind, and I just can't seem to find a good reason. I guess if you're working on video/photography (professionally) that's one thing, but like having a touch screen on a computer, is it REALLY necessary? I mean the standard display is pretty damn clear to me...
Just playing devil's advocate I guess, and I want someone to help me justify intelligently why I should or should not buy one with retina display...![]()
Sorry, but it is much less expensive to install a larger drive or more memory, sell your old drive and memory.
Lets do the math.
Option#1: (Your suggested option) Buy a $2500+TAX computer and then sell it 12-15 months later for $1500-$1700. Then buy a new computer for $2500+ TAX. Forget the tax, you lost $800-$1000.
Option#2: (A reasonable option that Apple is eliminating) Buy a $2500 + TAX computer and then keep it for 3-4 years. Upgrade the RAM for $75-$125 in a year or two to keep it up to par with newer computers.
MOST people would choose Option#2. If you have the money for Option#1 good for you...
Basically, Apple's move back to proprietary hardware )and in some cases software) will erase most of the gains they have made in the Desktop and Laptop computer market.
Also, there are many types of investments and a 2K-3K computer is absolutely one of them.
need a MBP very soon..
old one has dead battery,only works on AC power, disk drive kaput, "s" key will not work... screen dimming.. have to use chill pad or it over heats and locks up.
I guess I got my money worth from a 2007 MBP.![]()

Open up the macbook pro and blow out the dust using compressed air to prevent overheating![]()
...4 times that of standard HD displays. Currently, no Apple products feature the resolution.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a good track record when it comes to Apple rumors, originally predicted new MacBook Pros with Haswell processors at WWDC back in June, alongside a slimmer MacBook Pro with Retina display, though he later updated his prediction to suggest a mid-September release date for refreshed MacBook Pros.
There is some evidence that suggests Apple vendors ...
On other side, I sat in Tesla S sedan. If I would not look at the sticker, I would never believe they wanted $107,900. Even $25,000 is too much for this freaking golf cart with oversized Touch Pad. They have its internal frame and power plant on display. Just by looking on power plant and how it is machined and finished and ugly welding seams. Talking about being overpriced, ha-ha.
rMBP 13" is gorgeous machine. I may get one with Haswell, finally. HD4000 is a bit of a slug for such nice high resolution LCD. BTW, rMBP price is not too far from what it really worse. It is the absolute perfection from craftsmanship prospective. No rush, I could wait...
The mere mention of the Tesla makes me want to puke. Thanks to their skill at begging, uh... I mean negotiating, they conned the administration into a multi million dollar funding package consisting of our money. It was cloaked as a warm and fuzzy "green project" since they knew the man would cave at that thought. They were right. The car isn't.
