    [Gary Huff] “And it’s another dongle device I have to carry around with me instead of having one built in to the body itself. .”

    Well that is not going to be the case for the future.

    Adding internally, something that less than 20% of all users want/ need is not the way laptops are going, certainly not from Apple.

    I am wonderfully happy that I no longer have to carry around a 8 lb laptop on my shoulder, even with the extra cable and connector I still keep my Retina laptop under 5lb total.

    did I mention it is blazing fast too?

    About 10-20% faster than my i7. Wonderful.

    I wouldn’t care so much if a Qio came out with Thunderbolt connectivity, or when the Belkin dock finally arrives. But right now, it’s the best setup you can get, in my opinion, and hopefully more Thunderbolt peripherals will be out when I decide it’s time to upgrade again.

    [gary adcock] “But was that not the purpose for the RETINA display on the Laptop?”

    So does the print get even tinier?

    yes
    just like it does on any other display.

    Am I the only one that sees the screen accessory from the movie “Brazil” coming out for the retina displays?

    I just love this guy’s movies. They are not all – if any are -great but he is not afraid to go way out on a limb.
