I can't believe there is even a market for these overpriced gimmicks.
they could have made them a bit sleeker. these are ugly for that price.
Sorry but to me, Apple hasn't released a "Pro" laptop since the late G4 era when they actually used relatively high end GPUs of that time period for the high end laptop line. If your paying over $2k for a laptop, you should be getting high end components, not midrange.
See www.anandtech.com/show/7287/analyzing-the-price-of-mobility-desktops-vs-laptops/3 for reference. The GTX780M is actually slower than a GTX760 by 5-10%, and the desktop GTX780 seems to be nearly 80% faster.
Therefore, I do think that pushing for those resolutions on notebooks is idiotic. It's a different story for desktops, where 2.560x1.440 is getting more and more interesting.
Below is a link to a very nice direct comparison of mobile --> desktop GPUs, with desktop GPUs in black italics (see right side bar).

You want my idea of a "Gaming" laptop.

I look at as, a casual gaming, or "light" gaming device. All your "serious" gaming should be focused on a desktop, unless your pockets have an echo :laugh:
