In all seriousness, Apply is being pretty smart.

Pro users that have laptops go for the Mac Pro > Laptop.

Pro user sits there and goes f#ck it I'll buy that laptop. Only $2500. 1/3 of what I wanted to pay for a Mac Pro. 6 months later Mac Pro comes out. They buy Mac Pro. If both get released at the same time most pro users will skip the laptop.

That is a very good point.

You've nailed it, this really is Apple's MO. Ever wonder how they get people to buy an ipod shuffle, iphone, ipad AND laptop?

They are good at what they do
