[Matthew Sonnenfeld] “Just got off the phone with Apple. Spoke to a Mac Pro sales rep and got the scoop…

Seems like it.

[Liam Hall] “You’ll have to sit very close to the laptop to get full value out of that display…
“Yup.

[Gary Huff] “Don’t care about retina on the 17″…just wanted USB3.0, ExpressCard, and Thunderbolt with Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA 600M.”
Yes. Exactly.
