    God I totally regret selling my rmbp, I honestly thought they would refresh the entire laptop line up like they did last year at WWDC. Now I'm without my MacBook lol. Even tried looking for a viable alternative but nothing is out that matches the speed, elegance, form factor, and battery life of the mbpr.

    So any rumors floating around as to when they are suppose to slap has well processors on their 15 and 13 inch models?

    So...non retina mbp 13" should also get a refresh whenever the rmbp does too right?

    And at this point, is it likely/possible they will launch by September for back to school? Or it is unlikely since there hasn't even been an announcement.

    Interesting, I just bought a MacBook Air to hold me off until they refresh the rmbp, those benchmarks seem promising but I'm definitely looking more forward to the increased batter life. Hoping for something along the lines of 9 hours with the 15 inch model.

    I'd imagine the 13" will be the interesting upgrade this year, since the 15" will probably be the exact same speed, if not a bit slower gpu wise. I doubt they will go with discrete graphics with iris pro available. The 13" will probably get a 4558u, while the 15" will get the 4950hq. If the 15" gets discrete graphics I would be pleasantly surprised, but it seems Apple is going for battery life over performance.

    the 13 is going to pack the 28w ulvs, not an actual interesting update.

    Iris 5100 is the interesting part, its much faster then hd4000.

    not really interesting since it appears its a far cry from the 5200 performance and will roughly net the same performance, just that the igpu will be more powerful, its long past the time to put a quad on the rmbp13
