HDMI? huh?
I had an OG iPad and it had problems keeping up with iOS 5. This is not a surprise.

Yeah that's the beautiful thing about Apple, they don't need to plaster the branding all over it because the design IS the brand.No branding anywhere except the bottom. Just like iOS devices. That's how it's done.
The fan engineering stuff is blowing my mind, that really speaks volumes about how much attention to detail Apple pays, and you see it in the resulting products.
Another cool thing they pointed out in the retina display part of the video - in Final Cut you get full 1080p video in the viewer with still plenty of room for all the tools and edit furniture around it.

Will wait for a 15" Macbook Pro with the Retina display + super drive.
They really had to though.
When I was first looking at it, I was thinking WTF I'd need a hub since there's 2 Thunderbolt, but they've removed FW and Ethernet.
Then I saw the HDMI and grinned.
Whats the point of the hdmi? No external can do the retina justice, and you can literally connect wirelessly with an apple tv

Sucks because I want something portable that also doubles as a desktop. I have a 21.5" iMac now and need something portable for school now.
15" is too small for a desktop. Then again 17" MacBook pro is borderline not portable from what I've read.
I'm kinda in a tricky situation here. Can't afford both a MacBook and iMac. That would be the perfect solution.

The thing that really irritates me is that they're removing "legacy" ports to make something a bit thinner. Removing firewire is one thing, but ethernet? That is one port that is widely used all the time.
The pursuit of an aesthetically pleasing laptop over functionality + combined with their approach to FCPX is what deeply concerns me.
EDIT: Just noticed the lack of a drive too. Do I have to hook up an external bluray burner to one of the few ports available (+ figure out a work around to get it working) in order to archive projects?
doesn't it have the same specs as the iPhone 4(if not a tad better)?

So Passbook is the placeholder for the NFC- equipped iPhone 5, right? Starbucks card, Boarding pass, they have to be able to include credit cards, right?
They offer that right now. Just unplug the SuperDrive when you don't need it.
I like that they find elegant solutions (or at least present their solutions elegantly) to problems endemic to the respective platforms.
Hey iPad kept the same price and went high-res. The new MBP's even with all that hardware probably suck at real performance tasks like gaming but I'd love to have a reasonably spec'd machine with a high-res display.
Not everyone has an Apple TV. HDMI out is great for presentations and what not.
Would have been killer if it was HDMI in too... Imagine being able to plug your consoles into this thing...

Haha, exactly. Perfect.
15 inch works great. Ive used macbook pro + monitor as desktop for years now.
Just caught up. First impression is disappointed. Nothing in iOS6 jumped out at me particularly, the main things I was looking for were live icons and for then to open up the Siri api and didn't get either. Guess we'll have to wait until the new iPhone to see what their plans are for widgets, thankfully I plan on getting it. Their maps app seems much better than I was expecting but the lack of a streetview equivekant is a bitter pill to swallow.
The new MBP looks absoluelty amazing but I can't afford to upgrade until at least next year so it only serves to make me jealous for now. I was really hoping for new iMacs which were MIA, although I'm still hoping for a silent spec bump when the store goes back up.

THIS IS ALL I EVER WANTED
Why not a 15" pro and a random big display that you connect the laptop to at home?
I think most of us are happy it is now on the iphone, who cares where it was first.

I'm not spending 2k to have to carry around a portable drive. My 2010 MBP is fine until they come up with a MBP that has everything I want in it.
That's how gadgets are though. Not to mention that the person in question wouldn't be spending $500 as they could sell their iPad and put the money toward a new one. There are plenty of people buying used iPads.
iPhone 4 also uses the same processor as 3G/3GS, just clocked higher

As much as I want the new Macbook Pro, I really hope they also offer the anti-glare option.
Time marches on, dude. You'll get over it.

Apple won't add super drive to retina display MBPs, guaranteed. It's far more likely that they will be subtracting the superdrive when it comes time to retina display the other MBPs in their lineup.
you would be the type to fall for that type of nonsense. i'll put good money down that at full tilt these will sound nearly as loud as the 2011 MBP. it still looks to be pulling air through the keyboard and venting through the hinge, which isn't the most efficient way of doing things. the heat-pipes look to be roughly equivalent as well.
there's only so much you can do with fans in that small of an enclosure to reduce noise.

Why is it never going to happen? Once the retina technology ramps up to larger production all laptops will have this.

Wish I could somehow get a dev account to beta iOS6 on my new ipad. Hmm...
wow. i'm really impressed with ios6. it seems to bring all of the features i've been wanting for a while. it's too bad it doesn't come out until the fall. are developer releases for ios decent? i might be that impatient.
i wasn't too sure from the verge feed, does the canadian language support mean we get siri-location-based stuff?
