Interesting

If you go to the Apple website there is an amazing video where Jonathan Ive describes the engineering challenges of producing this computer. It is amazing to see a company pitch its product by raving over the engineering involved in its production. At the end of the video I wanted one as soon as possible... but I don't need one at all my current lap top is more than adequate for my needs. I think the only thing that would make me change lap tops at this point would be if they offered one with 3G built in so that I didn't have to keep plugging in 3G dongles.

Retina Display

Apple's WWDC have got to be the only one that I enjoy watching. I want to know why I'm paying so much for these products, and the way that they display themselves; I'm happy to pay that price. With a $19.99 OSX update, everything it comes with along with, and the sheer engineering that they've put into that machine, it's brilliant. I've got the latest model (until yesterday) i7 MBPro, I don't need an upgrade, I'm not challenging my machine enough to warrant a change so soon, but if I had that money spare I know I would. They've upgraded but somehow made it smaller and lighter. Only Apple would be the ones to push it to those limits.

mating display

This new high resolution screen certainly will attract new mates to the MacBook Pro line of laptop computers because it should enable the present generation of photographers to go without a desktop computer altogether.

If reality equals advertised claims for still images it should be possible to actually edit say, D800 files or Hasselblad files and be able to see the details properly onscreen .

Whether connectivity will then enable you to output the images for viewing or editing onto ANY screen though, is a problem.

Due to the use of new Thunderbolt and mini-display-port only out connections, even recent adopters of Apple's own large displays may find they are still blocked out from using the MacBook pro as an editing/display platform at all.

Whether I would then be satisfied if I could ONLY see what I am doing on a titchy 17" screen at any resolution, I really doubt, since I would want to be able to use my Pro as I wished-on a big Dell monitor- and if I cannot do this, and worse, would have to pay additionally £900 for even a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display, I dont know, as no other display yet made allows me to work on it at this resolution.

error on size

Sorry but my mistake. It is only a 15" display for £1800, seems a lot to me
