So Apple have just announced their new MacBook Pros, and to be perfectly honest, I think they're waaay too overpriced. Take a look at this: http://www.thetechn.com/2012/06/11/apple-new-macbook-pros-with-retina-display/ $2000 for 256gb ssd? What?!
I've had a few of my friends tell me that I'm crazy for saying they're overpriced, but I just don't think they're worth it. What dyou guys think?

The pricing for MBA doesn't surprise me. It is Apple after all.

However its slim design is really nice. If I lots of spare money I would probably just get one to throw windows 7 on there (it would make a nice laptop for a light gaming fix).

The display is supposedly really good as well (crazy resolution!), would be great for photo editing.

Macbooks are nice, but I can't see spending over $2500 on a laptop. I mean, you can get a super fast i7 PC laptop for a little over $1000. An i7 ultrabook is under $1500 as well.
