Get the proper Mini DisplayPort (aka MDP or Thunderbolt) connector to whatever your monitor has.
Apple does not use Mini HDMI, the shape is drastically different.

Oh wow retina display is only on the 15" and starts at 2199. Probably gonna be on the rest of the MacBooks at a lower cost next year.

so the retina 15" doesn't have a graphics switcher? if it doesn't affect real world battery life i guess that's an improvement ...

^^^ If you're a graphic artist, yes, but I would much rather have a 17" display with that same resolution. It looks like Apple has killed the 17" MBP (which I was afraid of) entirely - fuckers.

Awesome.
As much as I don't like Apple, I can't really complain that they sit on their laurels as market leader.
They just made every single ultrabook pale in comparison.
Now if only I could get a 27"+ monitor with resolution like that  | |

I still can't believe how hot my 2011 MBP 13 inch gets when I'm doing regular tasks... What kind of temperatures are you guys getting?

Regular tasks not hot - warm, but not hot. When I do photo & video editing with the dedicated video card enabled, the cores can reach 109 degrees C, and the bottom of the laptop gets very toasty.
