Apple Introduces Next Generation MacBook Pro with 15.4" Retina Display starting at $2199. It's only 0.71" thick and Apple claims they are "the very best computer that we've ever built."
Photographers will welcome the 2,880 by 1,880 pixels resolution along with next generation video and CPU power when editing their photos. The screen is now improved with deeper blacks and a higher angle of viewing. Glare has also been reduced by 75 percent.
The next-generation MacBook Pro runs exclusively on Intel's new Ivy Bridge quad-core Core i7 processors and can be configure with up to 16 gigabytes of RAM. Battery life still maintains up to 7 hours of usage under normal load along with a MacBook Air-like 30 days of standby time.
Here are the product highlights:

Being a big Mac fan, I almost pre-ordered yesterday after reading the announcement despite its high cost when fully loaded. Certainly the power is there to replace desktop systems but I hesitated when I considered I would be using a 27" thunderbolt display as my main monitor so what benefit would the retina display be. For travel (editing and making presentations) and for watching movies etc, I can see but could use my IPad for that.

I'm in the same boat as gcuff. My MBP was stolen a month or so ago, and I was considering the new one with retina, but I'm just not sure how big of a difference it would make in my everyday experience vs saving the money and getting the thunderbolt display

Can the 27' Thunderbolt display work on the same resolution of 2880-by-1800?
I've got a 27' iMac (mid 2011) and the maximum resolution is 2560-by-1440.
If it can't then I see no point until they have an external display (as it's bigger size then its not a Retina Display) that can handle that New MacBook Pro resolution.

No, a monitor can't uprez. It's maxed out at it's native resolution. It downrezzes by interpolating.
