Obviously not since he made a screenshot with it.

Apple's warranty page indicates it was purchased on July 15, 2012 for those who care.

Also, Mountain Lion is out (is locked onto the Apple ID as opposed to the serial number), and Buyer has 30 days (from July 25) to claim the code so someone better buy this soon.

2800x1880 resolution? That exists on a single consumer-level display? ???

Can I get a similar PPI on a 30" desktop screen please?

It's roughly 220 PPI. And yes, it exists.

a 30" monitor (twice the diagonal) has approximately 4 times the screen space. And would be super expensive.

If you assume Apple has 80% yield on 15.4" panels, then yield rates for 30" panels are on the order of 40% (0.8^4)!

I have a rMBP, it's pretty awesome although I think I might go blind in Windows running it at 2880x1800 T_T.

From what I've read, 220PPI isn't too high (at least for cell phones). IIRC, the Galaxy S3 has 313PPI and the Iphone 4s has 326PPI. But that's on a much smaller screen even compared to the 15.4'' display.

but remember that a pixel on retina is divide another four so it is giving you greater detail
