No other manufacturer has that screen though...
The processor and graphics card could be gotten for $1000 here in the US at the lowest price. That says nothing of the build quality, battery life, or display.
The display on the Retina MacBook Pro is amazing. You can't deny that. No one else offers anything like it. The build quality is also superb IMO.
Whether you want or need that is your personal preference. The great battery life, display, and almost ultra book thinness and sturdiness is worth $2200 to me.
