I wanna ask for one.

This event sounds really dumb to me, actually.

First off, iPad mini? Come on. I already have a perfectly good iPad 3 (which I happen to be using to write this post). If you want an "iPad mini", the best choice for you is a Nexus 7. But if you don't already have an iPad, then by all means, go ahead and buy the Mini. Just saying, the regular iPads are tons better.

Also, 13 inch Macbook Pro with retina display? That's not even that big of a deal--it's just another excuse for Apple to say "Hurr durr we gots another overpriced laptop, all you idiots who worship us should line up at teh Apple Store should throw a few thousand more dollars at us just because". Plus, I've seen the retina display on the 11 inch one--it's not that big of a step from a regular Pro.

Also, new Mac mini? Pfft. What's wrong with the current one?

Just saying, I think Apple's just trying to get their worshippers to throw away a few thousand dollars over nothing. And, please, no flaming me now, because a flame war is the last thing I want to start.

Yes, the Nexus 7 is the best choice, but that means that they aren't giving Apple their money. Apple wants their money.

I'm going to assume you mean 15 inch, not 11 inch. The retina display has its faults, such as not having many retina-prepared apps. Still, this is the MacBook PRO. PROFESSIONAL. People who might want to be able to edit video in full 1080p while still seeing their controls and having almost perfect color quality. It is NOT a consumer MacBook. You might as well say the Mac Pro is way too expensive - it is not designed for you. End of story.

What's wrong with the current one? Maybe that Apple updated almost allof their other products to the newest Intel architecture (Ivy Bridge, 3rd generation), but the Mac Mini is still using Sandy Bridge (2nd generation)?

Is this sarcasm? Because saying "Hurr durr we gots another overpriced laptop, all you idiots who worship us should line up at teh Apple Store should throw a few thousand more dollars at us just because"sounds pretty provocative.

I guess a good thing is that the iPad 2 (if they still sell it) is less, so maybe I can actually afford one now.

Yes, that's true. Also, the iPad mini will provide some fair competition for the Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7.

I never said the Macbook Pro was a bad laptop, by all means, it is not. It is a fantastic laptop, in all areas. And, yes, its not exactly only a consumer laptop, you can do some very productive things on it, such as using iWork, Final Cut Pro X, Adobe CS6. I was only saying that Apple adds not too many changes to the next generations of some of their products. Yes, the Macbook Pro has retina display. Yes, it has a slimmer form factor. Yes, it has faster processors and graphics. But you see, this new 13 inch Macbook, is just, well, smaller. Not that big of a step, if you ask me.

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me. You're right, I was being a little light-minded when I said that. 

Just saying, I think Apple's just trying to get their worshippers to throw away a few thousand dollars over nothing. And, please, no flaming me now, because a flame war is the last thing I want to start.

By no means was I being sarcastic or provocative. I was saying very specifically, please don't start any arguments. I agree with you that what I said may have sounded a little bit provocative, and contradictions from others are just fine, as long as it doesn't go too long and extreme.
