when the non-user-replaceable battery inevitably fails

Battery replacement is $99.

For some strange reason Apple has managed to put retina displays in their laptops before LG or Samsung (who probably manufacture those panels) manage to put them in their own laptops.

Windows probably doesn't support retina properly (which is sad, considering that MS has been working on retina support since Vista). Also, Apple may have outbid Samsung for the panels.

Samsung really has the potential to be an industry leader. They make everything.

Except software.
