I seriously doubt it's the displays driving that price. Go check out the cost of a 768GB SSD on its own (then add the Apple hardware option premium). If you can find one under $1500 you're a better hardware shopper than I.

Good point, the bigger the display the harder it will be to get good yields but laptop screens aren't that much bigger than tablet screens.
I've seen 500GB SSDs for under $1/GB, but not ones more than that; that definitely would be a big price component as well.
