MacBook Pro refreshed with Nvidia Kepler GPU, Retina display - Sensationalist Headlines

[url]http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-with-Retina-Display-Teardown/9462/3#s36210[/url] Quite the bummer for those with itchy fingers. Also isn't the RAM modules extremely expensive if you pick them in Apple's configuration thingy? I know several people who just went with the cheapest RAM option and then bought some maxed out modules off a site similar to Newegg, and swapped them out. Thus saving money.

Here's apples biggest mistake: while everything new technology wise is trending down in price, apple actually went up with this release. While the rest of the world says "more features for less money," apple says "new screen for more money." It will sell, it will sell well, but its not a winner in the marketplace because money's tight and they jacked up the price while Dell, HP, and everyone else are coming down.

It will always be high-priced at first and then will trickle down with time.. No one is thinking more features for less money unless its old.

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;36300840]Zunes fucking suck nuts compared to any of the iDevices. Yeah go buy some shit plastic Alienware with a plastic screen and horrible plastic touchpad that runs for 10 minutes before running out of battery because it's [b]2x graphics cardz!!!1[/b] draw so much. Apple won't miss you. Also if you actually looked for yourself instead of being a fucking bandwagon kid, you'd realize that the OS optimization that Apple do for the hardware they choose, give much higher performance in software that is designed specifically to run on the OS they have made, rather than just doling out software to anyone who wants it to install on any hardware they choose (leading to no guaranteed performance, driver issues, and a bloated OS).
