This new model would certainly represent one step towards John Siracusa’s goal for Apple to “introduce more, better Retina Macs” in 2014.

This makes sense to me: I'm actually replacing a 2008-era MacBook with a Retina MBP primarily because of the screen and the machine's smaller physical size.

A couple people in my firm are also using older but still functional iMacs, and we'll replace those when the Retina versions hit. Better displays are actually compelling reasons to update (despite what I wrote here: http://jseliger.wordpress.com/2011/07/20/mac-os-10-7-is-out-... a couple years ago).

This is exactly what I've been waiting for to replace my current 11" MacBook Air. I hope the rumor is true!

Anyone else find it strange that the "blog" only has one post?

It's my first blog post, simple as that.

Will probably write about other 2014 Apple products next.

Except I think the author has this wrong: it won't be "Air" but "Pro", and will be thicker than the Air and more expensive.

More expensive is OK, significantly thicker and heavier is a deal breaker.

What a poor headline. It only goes to 2 decimal places, not nearly enough accuracy for us to know whether it is suitable for our needs!! I really need an 11.88483" laptop...
