Priced into the stratosphere, but I'm happy to see higher resolution displays making it out. 4K screens on the PC is my hope soon.

Well, now that you fixed the title to say pro instead of air yeah.

I still can't understand why there is no 17".

Traditionally, Apple has always upgraded the 17" last.

I'm really excited Apple has led this trend, I can't wait for Halo displays in 2013

Because the new 15" has a higher resolution than the old 17". You can even set it to a software-scaled mode that gives you just as much real estate as the old 17".

Thing is, I like bigger screens, because I have an addiction for a bigger view and trying to see every aspect of what I'm doing. Even if it's retina.

Yeah, and not only the price is sky high, but now they removed the CD ROM and the Ethernet port too - yes, you heard right, no more Ethernet port!!! - What a joke.

Way to go Apple....

The new MBP is too thin to put an Ethernet port on there.

They've killed the 17" MacBook Pro line.

Bummer . My one regret when I purchased my MBP in 2009 was I went with 15" instead of 17".

When did Ethernet become obsolete?... You make the computer thick enough for Ethernet as it is still a basic port.

Insane. I would never buy a computer without an Ethernet port. Wireless is just not there yet and probably never will be.

There's a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for $29. Since Thunderbolt is just external PCI-E, it should perform exactly the same as if it were onboard.

For those that don't want to use an adapter, there are the other Macbook Pro versions and other manufacturers.
