I'm just not spending it on a 2000+ laptop I'm going to wait till they trickle down to the 1000-1500 level. At the same time you can't really blame them for selling it with a high price since it's their crown jewel and it probably cost a lot to produce right now.
i agree with your points but i dont see retina display resolutions on windows anytime soon...coming from someone who's never looked twice at apple products they've definitely stepped up the game in the screen department with the new ipad and now this MBP.

IMO you probably won't take advantage of such crazy resolution..but for once it seems like you aren't overpaying just for aesthetics and customer service...cause i'm sure these screens cost a shit tons to produce
