After the internet was flooded with information about new laptop models this week Apple MacBook Pro s Retina display, there has also been speculation that thanks to the use of HiDPI displays, it will have to Apple increase the price of new MacBook Pro by $100. The information was first reported by the Cnet news server and then began to spread across the Internet. According to Cnet, it will have to apple pay $100 more for new displays than for current displays for MacBook ProThe price depends mainly on the difference in the price of displays for the iPad 2nd and iPad 3rd generation.
Of course, the question is how Apple will respond to the increase in the price of supplied components and whether the company will reduce its own profits by not achieving high margins on new Macs or by passing the cost on to customers who pay for the new Macbook Pro According to available information, it costs Retina display with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels for MacBook Pro 13″ equals $134, while the current display Apple comes out to $65. In the case of Macbook Pro However, 15″ is already the price for Retina display $160, while Apple currently pays $68 for displays for this model. Information was provided by DisplaySearch Senior Analyst Richard Shim. About the price of the display for MacBook Pro Shim doesn't mention 17", but it's clear that the cost of this display will be Apple already more than $100 higher than in the case of current displays.
Apple however, as we know from the last ten years, it is very reluctant to increase the price of new models of its products and, on the contrary, tries to lower the price even more with each generation. In addition, the company only rarely reaches for components that would increase the final price by up to $100. Precisely because of the use of components that are often made by a different manufacturer Apple doesn't even want it anymore and considers them obsolete, Mac computers are often criticized by people who consider the ratio of computing power of the hardware itself to the price to be disadvantageous.
However, users are likely to be wary of the higher price of new computers MacBook Pro 2012 will primarily protect the omission of the optical drive SuperDrivewhich is expected already minialmost two years. When Apple omitted mechanics in current models Mac mini, reduced the price of basic computers by $100. That is, exactly the hundred dollars they would have lost in the case of MacBook Pro increase displays with HiDPI resolution. Furthermore, new computers are expected to use SSD disks instead of classic HDDs, but their price Apple they probably don't have to deal with it that much thanks to last year's purchase of the company anobit, which, due to its technologies and patents, produces high-performance SSD drivesonem at significantly lower prices than the competition.
