Than you are not targeted buyer for MBA. Wait for MBP, and stop dreaming about MBA becoming MBP
I highly doubt there will be a form factor change. I could be wrong, but given that the current design is the "changed" version of the MacBook Pro, I doubt apple will change it again only
after a year. Plus, if they made it any thinner there would not be much of a difference between the air and pro. I think that point may come when the 13" air and pro are merged but that definitely isn't going to be soon.

What he dont get is that you posted a test of a lot of displays saying there are comparisons with ips vs igzo already.
And then when he couldn't find what computer in that test had a IGZO panel he asked for that.
And you are still not answering him so thats what he dont get.
And now you are refuting your own statement from the first post saying there are no notebooks from 2012 with igzo.
THAT WAS THE POINT FROM THE BEGINNING!!!! But you came with a test with no igzo panels at all, telling him that there where in fact a test and that he was misinformed. But the fact is, you are!
Your configuration will be a dream come true in a few months.
IGZO display is a huge possibility if it's released in October.
However since there is actual proof that the upcoming 13" rMBP is going to be using 28W ULV processors, you won't see Iris Pro but the basic Iris. Still! It's a major, major upgrade over HD 4000.
Iris is 2X faster than HD4000. Iris Pro is 3X faster than HD4000.
Iris Pro also has a 128MB eDRAM removing the bottleneck that all integrated GPU's have.
Is the actual proof related to the mysterious GeekBench benchmark? According to Anand's article, the mysterious rMBP 13" would have a i7-4558U CPU and Iris 5100. Would it handle hands down the 4M retina pixels without lagging? I guess the base model would come with 8GB RAM and 256GB PCI Flash. What would be approximately its price tag?
Is there a chance to see a quad-core rMBP 13" with 47W TDP processors i7-4950MQ or i7-4950HQ, Iris Pro 5200 and a better cooling system? This would really differentiate the 13" Pro from the Air... If this dream could be true in few months, what would be approximately its price tag?
If base comes with 256, it will be $1599-1699. Quad core IP is not going to happen, though.
Quad-cores in 13"? Only on skylake, of course in my opinion. This time, we'll only seeing a huge difference in battery life. And this isn't a bad thing.
the kirabook was launched in march of 2013. it has a IGZO panel. There are no production models with IGZO panels from 2012. Specially given that IGZO was really showcased in CES 2013 and latter at Computex a functional 14 was allowed hands on
The lines for the 14 and 15 IGZO panels have started churning out production displays since june 2013
http://sharp-world.com/corporate/news/130514-6.html
the line for the 13 has already been going, with possible move to 3200*1800
I pointed out the rmbp 13 (IPS) and the kirabook (IPS IGZO), those are pages from the review from anandtech made on those respective machines. I take you can alt tab/cmd tab the reviews to compare the numbers between those machines.
how Im misinformed?
It is really frustrating to sit on a 1.6 GHz single core CPU, being a developer, and just waiting, waiting for a new (r)MBP.
They are weeks over their regular updates.
Why is it so hard to give out some information before it is released so we can plan ahead?
I am just about to buy the "old" current rMBP. Been waiting for 3 months.
Can you imagine what it is like to be on a 1.6 GHz single core CPU? I am serious, I can not even watch a 720p video on youtube without lagging.

DON'T DO IT.
Breathe, relax and step away from the ledge.
Wait. It will be worth it. I'm certain of it. Apple will not let us down.
sigh...
This is what you awnsered when he wanted a comparison.
I still don't get, could you just simply point out which model of the 2012 notebook that is using the IGZO?
Hes refering to the first link you posted as an awser to "I'll reserve my comments until someone or some website compares them side by side with the current retina display macbook pro." that is what he wanted but what you linked has no igzo computer in the list!
Developer here too, and while I have a dual core processor, it can't play youtube on 720p without lagging either. Xcode is so slow on my machine too.
I can't even run the simulator without waiting about 2 minutes for it to launch, compile, and whoops! I forgot to add some code there. Recompile, wait 2 more minutes...ugh! And the animations in the simulator are so slow compared to my friend's who has a 2 year old Macbook Air and Xcode is super fast on his Air.
Also, my screen doesn't work so I can't code when I'm not at home. I hoped Apple would have released the new rMBP today...guess that's not happening. I may end up buying the current rMBP if Apple doesn't release the new rMBP by August because that's when my semester starts...
Lol. I heard that the reason for the delay is that they are adding a stovetop burner on them so you can boil your eggs
