Screen without borders?

Correct. You can't hide the assembly screws easily if you don't have the bezel. Apple uses bonding of some kind but there's still stuff that needs to be hidden.
Yep, that is what I meant, if LG did it for their own laptop and they currently supply retina screens for Apple they can perhaps supply Apple with retina displays with smaller bezels like that one.

Bezel-less. As many other people have said before, the bezel supports the screen. It's easier to have smaller bezels on laptops (as shown in that pic of the LG) but on phones you have to worry about tapping the screen so you need the support.
It also has a larger top and bottom bezel than the current rMBPs, which is probably where they're putting the cables, inverter, WiFi antennas, etc.
indeed
for sure!
nothing says pop out like a super - ultra thin bezel.
i love the mbp but the black bezel can be reduced even more and still have functionality / strength etc etc... i don't care for the cam any more so that can go, they should have a bluetooth cam option!
track pad clicking can also go, so it is just a flush glass track pad with no ability to make the click sound nor mechanism to click, just tap only!

no.
this is not good, the top and bottom bezel are still fat fat fat, a sunk in screen with an ugly plastic bezel glued onto it is cheap.
no.
everything has to be flush and smooth.
This is what i mean. Larger screen but not necessarily making the laptop larger...
edit: sorry for a really really bad mockup. But you get my point...kindof
