Big redesign in the works apparently. I imagine that will be unveiled at the music event in the fall, as usual.

I'm sure they're conflating the Dow with the market as well, which is such a ridiculous farce.

All I wanted to hear about was the iPhone 5. Boo this conference, Apple! At least they revealed iOS 6 but what I don't understand is if iOS 6 will have the same release date as the iPhone, why couldn't they discuss the phone? Really disappointed, when can we expect to hear of it now? Fall?

Yes, you can
Yep. They said that Mountain Lion is $19.99 for Lion and Snow Leopard users.
why would you expect this? it’s not realistic. they just released a phone in the fall.
your own expectations were unrealistic.
and they need to reveal the OS before the hardware since devs need time to make apps compatible with it.

Your own fault for that one. It was obvious going in that there wouldn't be a phone announcement. They announce they OS earlier (as they have always done) to give developers time to update their apps.

Best Buy will be selling them.
Just go to the education store, pick a school and check out.
They limit the amount you can buy with education discount.
Put in the zip code, click any random school nearby...profit.
They don't ask for ID numbers.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Even when you click the Store tab its still down.

If they put a beefier gpu in there, the machine would melt..
There's a reason most machines with high-end mobile gpus are over an inch thick.
It's simply something that apple isn't interested in doing.

Even now with a bit time to think it over I really don't understand why they've removed certain ports (ethernet) in favour of making it thinner. Were people really clamouring for the macbook pro to be thinner? I understand it for macbook air's (if it's possible to make it thinner at this stage), iphones and ipads but not for the fairly powerful macbook pro.

Oh man that's fantastic news if it turns out to be true. Apple weren't kidding when they said they had a lot planned for this year.

Yes. See the race for thinner laptops in general.

You are hilariously stubborn over this ethernet port.
This isn't the product for you. They still have their old shit for sale!
The retina display mbp is def something you don't want to get if you intend to play games or even boot camp for games. I don't think it's going to work well at all.
The new one seems to be for designers or home users who do nothing but tweet and surf gaf that want a high end screen.
I'm slowly leading towards the high end mbp with no retina. I can throw in my own ram for cheaper and a better ssd while not having to worry about the mediocre gpu trying ot run shit at a crazy resolution. Games should work so so if I decide to even play any on them.
Come on 20% discount!
I'm shocked there's not new iMacs. Old man was waiting for one, maybe he will be crazy enough to go a new mac pro :/
Though there are people who do still need an Ethernet port (like you), they figure it's a small percentage of users -- and that, yes, more people would prefer a thinner machine than an Ethernet port.

You could always just bump down the resolution of the game; its not like you are stuck at 2880x1800.
And as a web designer, your remark is somewhat irksome.
More rez is always, always better.Order placed for entry level MBP Retina with 16 GB RAM!
Oh. That explains the gift card I got. Wasn't sure why I got it.
Perfect timing for Apple's back to school promo: $200 off the retina MBP and $100 giftcard for software.
Oh. That explains the gift card I got. Wasn't sure why I got it.

Apple has a website.

Yeah, I guess no single GPU is really good enough for that resolution really. I wonder if 1080p upscaled would look bad on that screen. Probably won't.
So does NeoGAF.

I think I got to go with 16gb.
