To All the people Bitchin about Pricing.

i understand the principle.

By the way £ is not an euro its sterling GBP.

Also i don't place much faith in the SEC nor American finance accounting. Wasn't the world recession caused by a US banking collapse including the bailout of how many multibillion dollar companies in the US? AIG, GM, Fanny and Freddie...

Accounting trickery at its best.

Didn't we save you in WWII? What's your point?

Your history is as bad as your financial acumen.

My Financial intellect is fine. No doubt. Again what's your point? You're boring me.

I'm sure it's profitable for Apple - they wouldn't sell it if it's not... I'm just saying that it might not have their customary extremely high margin ( what if it had 25-30% margins instead of 35-45%)? That screen is also extremely expensive - the closest comparable is HP's DreamColor notebook displays, and those are $500 upgrades to the end user, with no reason to believe that the margin on the upgrade is outrageous - even if the margin is 50%, the display costs HP $250 over and above the cost of a regular IPS display - I wouldn't be surprised if the retina is similar

Well, I have a macbook pro, Mini and other Apple products. It's not going to be my main machine...

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't get that when reading your signature.
