I notice that Apple seems to have dropped the Macbook Pro 17" from their line.
That is a great shame as it made for a fabulous portable editing machine.
I suppose that forces me to get a 15" Retina display when I come to get my next unit in a year or two.
I found the missing 17" also odd. However, I was listening to a radio show with a bunch of "experts" talking about the future of desktop, laptop, and tablets. The general consensus was laptops will go away in the future and desktops as more of a server an tablets for portability.
If they add a stylus (like galaxy note) to the iPad and up it's processing power, it may be possible to edit photos on a tablet. But I suspect we will all be doing editing on desktops for some time. ( you hear this from the man who was present at the 1974 launch of Hula Hoops snack food in the UK, and predicted"they will never sell")
