huh? Everyone is pushing ssd's, apple are using some of the worst ones at the highest possible prices, as with the ipad storage is where they make the 50% margins. How is it that they are driving prices down?
Is that true? I thought there was a previous rumor about the bumps to the current form factor and this is a whole new lineup in a new form factor.
..................like i save the rest of wow till its officially announced
But Damn , price and Spec is like
or WTF

Best get a head start....
See you down at the docks!!

haha nice one...
"so we've got sixpence"
"now... how much do you charge for a good, hard, sh*CENSORED*"
yeah dude, but I can imagine to get the lower retina version and upgrade SSD and RAM to max on my own...
These have to be fake. Given apple's current pricing structure. The entry level laptop would be well over 2 grand. That is not gonna sell well.
Those questioning the $4k price clearly don't remember 2001 when it was $3k for a top of the range powerbook. Allowing for inflation that would be over $3700 now....
Hopefully they release Retina displays this year so when it is time for me to upgrade in the next 2-3 years Retina will be standard (meaning cheaper).
Although it is not a Retina display, my 27" iMac is very clear. It would be interesting to see how a Retina display iMac would look.
that would be very unapple like. The optical drive being gone is an assumption already. putting in two hard drives would be more expensive than just putting in a custom manufactured 768gb
I haven't seen a 768, closest I've seen was 720. Newegg actually offers one up to 1tb.
Donnie: "Frank sees new slim MacBook with retina display and 768GB SSD."
Mrs. Farmer: "Now mark the line in the appropriate place."

Sounds realistic to me
768 GB SSD. With SSD prices as they are here it seems the computer could cost as much. But then again, I hope the form factor is going to be a lot different (SSD allows for a thinner design) and, if the indication of a new USB Superdrive and a Thunderbolt to LAN connector are correct, then I expect the MBP to resemble a MBA "on a lot of steroids". Although I would have preferred a smaller SSD and an on board HDD...
Just to keep prices in the range of "affordable" and not in the range of "utterly expensive". Too bad. Retina is intriguing. Retina Cinema Display would be absolutely great.
But, this year, I don't plan any new Hardware, so it is irrelevant at the moment. I am just concerned because that price point would undermine the success of the machine and hence not help Apple's bottom line in the end.
Just a couple more hours and all the rumors and speculation are then irrelevant.
I like that game though.
Anyway, give me Mountain Lion, new iWork suite, Aperture 4. In september give me an iPhone 5, iOS 6 and a new iPad. Then I'm sold. Next year? OSXI, and a new MBP with SSD at an acceptable price point and new processors.
TV? Not for me. TV is a device I keep for 5-7 years, so no need to put expensive hardware in there. Leave the AppleTV as an external device and I can upgrade more often...
