No, it is HDMI out.
Although with a converter you used to be able to connect HDMI into the mini dvi port on MacBooks and with some fiddling use the display as a PS3/Xbox display. The dvi ports were a bit more clever than plain HDMI though.

True, i guess for “Pro” audio producers.

But is their a simple way for my to directly plug in my guitar for fooling around in garage band etc?

Or will i have to purchase a separate sound card? Kinda seems like a waste for a simple audio in feature to be missing.

Cables on both sides is okay. The 2 USB ports next to each other was poor design because if you were using a thick internet modem/dongle with no USB extension cord, thanks

My desk isn’t 4′ narrow, and my wife isn’t 5’1″ short…and neither is this product 0.71″ thin.

When sites adopt changes in terminology introduced by marketers, it makes a bad impression.

What people should know is there is no tech gadget that will ever meet all your needs!

Apple have pushed boundaries with the new mac pro…something that all other pc manufacturers have failed/are failing at.

With that said, I think mac pro retina display is good to go!!

firewire is old tech + you can get a plugin cable.

Cables on both sides is okay. The 2 USB ports next to each other was poor design because if you were using a thick internet modem/dongle with no USB extension cord, the neighboring port was rendered useless!

Where is the Line-in on Retina Macbook Pro????
So i’m going to have to buy a usb sound card to plugin my guitar etc?

What about for DJ’s? Audio producers????

Do they expect all that power for browsing Facebook and making Facetime calls?

The Pro series is for that kind of use. Facebook and facetime can be done on a Macbook Air.
