if they announce the new rMBP on the 22nd, when would be the earliest possible date that it would be available in store? I need a new laptop by the 29th for school and am debating whether to wait or pick up the current rMBP. Waiting for the new one seems like it would be cutting it extremely close...
In the past Apple has made new products available for online order on the day of release. I would say it's say to safe rMBPs will be released on the 22nd or earlier, along with Mavericks and possibly the Mac Pro.
