3GS has lower specs than the iPad1, yet it is getting iOS 6. I say it boils down to the fact that they still sell the 3GS and want to support it, where the iPad 1 was sent out to pasture a long time ago.

Who gives a shit about 17" big notebooks?

Well I'm using 12 right now and barely seem to tap that out, so I think 8 is probably ok for the next year or two. 12 is "roomy". So 16 might be overkill. Just my 2¢.

oh wow. this is shitty. the base $2200 retina MBP cant have the flash storage upgraded as an option during checkout. 256 GB is the only option
You need to move up to the $2800 model (with the 512 GB drive) to get the optional upgrade to 768 GB (for an extra 500 bucks, natch.)
I havent been following flash storage prices too closely but isnt 500 bucks for 256 GB kind of insane?

Here are all the prices for France, each model 100 higher than before. Dammit.
I'll be moving to Japan in September so I'm contemplating buying my Air there. Just checked their prices, and its about 250 less for the Air I want huahuahua... é_è

Not in my line of work, which is why I'm sad that I guess I am now done with Apple laptops.

How is the Express just as a router, worth it (signal strength, stability and so on) or should I look into getting something I can do DD-WRT stuff on?

Quick what's better - the 2.3 with 16GB ram or 2.6 with 8gb?
Word is that the ram is not user-servicible correct?

Oh shit. How much will you get for the 17 inch?

That's actually what I was thinking about too. Moving to Japan next year and probably will updated with the updated Retina model or whatever they've got in store for me then.
Video editing is often done with external drives. It's never good to edit files on the same drive you're editing from.

Thanks for the feedback. Ill just stick with the 8gb and hope its upgradeable.

If pro's really are working on macbook pro displays, they have other problems then the loss of the 17".
is the 2.3 an i5 and the 2.6 an i7?
more threads on the i7 will increase your performance a bit in most apps, but if the RAM really isn't user-upgradable and you do a lot of video editing you're likely to see bigger dividends there.

goddamn, can't access the 'education store' & it's delicious discount unless i'm on the university network. gah, need to find out how much i can get the new pro for...

Both quad i7s
waiting on amazon to put up the retinas so I can get it tax-free and with prime shipping!
please link if you find it first
You're gonna be waiting a few weeks. Amazon was almost a month after the '11 airs were released.
That's actually a pretty clever idea, all around!

Not bad.
My 4K projector lols in your general direction ...
One thing I don't really get is the redesigned MagSafe, they went back to the connector that plugs in "head-on". I thought the superior connection was the one that went alongside the device. Thoughts?

Student discount in the US puts the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display down to $1999. It also comes with a $100 App Store Gift card for the back to school promotion. That would be a pretty good deal.
So if you are currently enrolled in college, you can get $200 off the new MacBook Pro and a $100 gift card for the App Store.

Yea, that's what I'm going to do if the 17" doesn't have an optical drive (that I can replace with a second HDD)

You will practically not find a single pro photography studio that isn't using 15" or 17" MBPs as primary computers, and new iPads as quick-response viewfinders.

go for the RAM. but you're also getting a beefy SSD upgrade on the $2.8k model.

Dumb question, I have the most recent hardware revision of the iMac and Diablo 3 runs perfectly fine for me on it not totally maxed out but runs in 1080p. Do you think the baseline 13 inch new MBP would be capable of similar performance? If not I'll just get an air for my masters program in the fall and sell it off when the retina display version comes out next year.

So it plugs in to the iPhone 5 easier.
To me that's a worse form factor. I have one to extend my network. I wouldn't want it sitting on a table in my living room even if there were one nearby.

But that still doesn't answer my question. The mode in general seems like it would apply to any kid. It just seemed odd to me that they would single out autistic kids when it's a feature that any parent could use. I've seen how my nieces react to my phone and they would constantly hit the home button by accident and leave the app from the excitement. I'm excited for my little one to be able to take my phone and play with it now without the fear of where they may go. I understand that autistic kids may react more to something, but I don't see that as a reason to single them out to highlight the feature.
What's up with the graphics card in the Mac Pro? Guess they found a box of 3 year old Evergreens somewhere...
M4s go for less than $1 per GB nowadays and is guaranteed to be much better than whatever crappy OEM SSD Apple uses. So yes, it's a complete rip-off.

Really? I remember the 2010 MBPs going up same day!
Well, I'll cross my fingers.
Personally I'd rather save several hundred dollars and just wait a little bit but... that would suck
Taxes. How do they work?!
Not really. Ignoring the Retina display, I don't think their laptops are significantly more expensive on the US side.
I was hoping for a proper desktop, or at least a refresh to the iMac line, but neither happened.
not up.

This is why I hope that when the iMac gets upgraded to Retina+SSD, the SuperDrive gets removed and we get SSD+HDD combo, so I can still have plenty of storage but run all of the truly important shit off of an SSD.

If you're using Final Cut Pro 7 then it won't use a fraction of it.
