I find it crazy when a laptop is announced with a $2,199.99 price tag and people say "Excellent Price!"

O_o


Please tell me you're kidding about that price-tag...


No he's right.

airbooks are like 1100 and up and the macbook pro starts at 2200,

Faith in people that would buy such a product: 0%.

For 2200 I could buy a desktop that runs that Unreal Engine 4 demo like a smooth baby's ass!

And how much does it cost for just a monitor with the same 1880p resolution?  I didn't manage to find one on Dell's site at any price (but for $1300 you can get 1600p, just the monitor).

Why would I buy a monitor?

For that $2200 I can buy the desktop and a Samsung HDTV.



Looks like Siri's new enhancements revolve around integration with other apps you have installed.



This conference is what will determine if I get an iPhone or the Galaxy SIII.

I don't want to settle for 3.5" on a screen.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

$2,200 and good price? Pardon me, but Apple has got some of it's customers bent over a desk. One could buy FOUR excellent Windows 7 laptops at that price

Looks like iOS6 will bring Siri to the latest iPad as well as many countries around the world will gain local search features.

Well of course the HDTV should be cheaper, it has only 1/3 of the pixels...I take it you're not one of those people concerned about 720p for Wii U's launch titles :).

The screen size is the only thing you care about?

The S3 is an awesome phone that you define.
The iPhone5 will surely be an awesome phone that Apple defines.

Biggest question is if you already live with Apple stuff and iTunes/iPods. If you do, then yes you should probably choose iPhone for simplicity. If you don't then dont' head that way or eventually you're forced into it. High prices and all.

D'awww, isn't that a wonderfully cute remark.

I take it you're not one of those people that care about having money for useful things after Apple has raped you and robbed you of your money?

I am watching a live blog and when that price was announced so many people were happy. One even went as far as getting so excited about some new feature that they were going to pick the new one up, meanwhile this new feature is being used on their current book via a 3rd party application...

Boggles the mind when you think of what kind of disposable income these people must have.

Well you can get the 13" MBP (1280 x 800 screen) starting at $1,199. The updated 15" MBP (with the same screen as before, 1440 x 900) can still be had starting at the same price as last years model $1,799.

If you want the new one with the Retina display (2880 x 1800 WOW!) then that starts at $2,199. It does also come with a 256GB SSD unlike the other models which have standard hard drives.

That screen must look gorgeous. I was blown away by how good the screen looks on the new Ipad compared to the older ones. I'd probably feel the same seeing this one in action. It has a higher resolution than my 27" Dell U2711 monitor! (2560 x 1440)
