Marco Arment: "After two years, the Mac Pro was 'updated' today, sort of: now we can choose slightly faster two-year-old CPUs at the top end, and the other two-year-old CPU options are cheaper now. That's about it. No Xeon E5 CPUs, no USB 3, no Thunderbolt. They're even shipping the same two-year-old graphics cards. Same motherboard, slightly different CPU options from 2010. That's it. The message is clear: Apple doesn't give a shit about the Mac Pro." Paint, red, scout, girl.

I often think work would be more fun and nicer if you didn't have any co-workers.
For example I do system administration and my work would be great without users! I could redesign the entire system without people complaining or nor understanding stuff.
Yesterday I had one who claimed that all her files were gone. She was trying to open an Excel file using Word. It's great story swapping ammunition with other IT people, but when it happens it's very annoying!

I think the people for which the retina MacBook is intended have loads of money. They're most likely photo and video professionals.
The only thing your buying is the display, it's just a ordinary MacBook Pro otherwise.
It's the same as with the first MacBook Air. IIRC it was even more expensive and the only thing you would buy was less weight and less size. The only people that would tend to buy it were people who fly a lot, meaning they probably had money too.
