I’m not sure if it’s awesome or not. That many pixels on a 15” screen? Even with OS and app support, it may be just amount to really expensive text smoothing. Other than text, I’ve not seen really compelling usage models with Retina screens in phones and tabs for photo and video. The rest of the updates are not any different the myriad other notebook announcements of late.
Have to admit, even though I only Hackintosh as my primary boxes are Win, I’m a surprised at no new Mac Pro. I mean, I can understand not a whole new case etc. but dropping in updated motherboard, PSU, CPUs, video, USB3 etc. would not have been a very big effort for Apple. That’s not a great sign as later summer and fall announcements for Apple are probably iPhone related for holiday season.
I wonder if there is not some serious internal debate about this since Ars Technica and other sites claimed to have insider info on new Mac Pros.

Love the resolution of that display. Pixels galore!
No word on the Mac Pro's huh?
