Displays for 13-Inch Retina MacBook Pro Now in Production
CNET reports that production has begun on 13.3-inch, 2560x1600 displays that will be incorporated into Apple's forthcoming smaller Retina MacBook Pro.
Production has begun of a 2,560-by-1,600 pixel density display that will land on a 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim told CNET.
"The supply chain indications are that it's for a MacBook Pro 13.3 -- not a MacBook Air," said Shim.
Displays are being made by Samsung, LGD, and Sharp, he said.

"With 15.4 it's production of a few hundred thousand units versus one to two million for the 13.3," he said. That 13.3-inch production began in the third quarter.
Apple has been rumored to be looking to launch the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro in October, and with mass production of the displays for the forthcoming machines now underway, it seems that Apple may be on track to meet that timeframe.

I know, I know iWork...
But the fact of the matter is Office is still much superior to iWork in my job requires I work with Word documents all day.
You clearly have not even a shred of a clue as to what a 15" rMBP is like. There is no lag on the integrated graphics processor and the 650m is more than sufficient. Ignoramuses like you make the sheeple think that the rMBP is barely able to run.

Seeing that it can drive the 2880x1800 15" without any problems, yes.
