As C++ is the native language for the UWP, surely it would map more neatly to the platform?

And the well-known performance and memory advantages, however small, are critical for mobile devices. I don't think Microsoft should commit long-term to C# on mobile just as both Apple and supposedly Google are migrating to Swift as the future of their platforms, for good reason.

My two cents.

Actually, I would buy right away. Apple generally sources higher-binned (higher quality) components early on. i.e., only Samsung panels when the Retina MBP first launched in 2012.

Broadwell will be perfectly capable of driving the display.

Good catch. I'll update the post.

To clarify, what I meant by three-tier:

11.9" Retina Air - slightly thicker than the current Air

13.3" Retina Pro

15.4" Retina Pro

And the older Air would stick around for a while.

I really doubt Apple would throw away the Air branding or thinner design.

A Retina Air would be more like a thicker Air than a thinner Retina MacBook Pro.

As for power, I deliberately didn't go into detail, but the short answer is Broadwell.
