1/11/2024 0 Comments Macbook retina display review![]() ![]() In person, the Retina Display looks great, although you're more likely to notice it when comparing to a non-Retina laptop. Apple solves this via a different dot pitch for the screen, much as it did on the third-gen iPad. That previous high-water mark has been fine in my experience, but even that can make text and images look small on a 15-inch laptop. The highest standard Windows laptop screen resolution is 1,920x1,080 pixels, the same as an HDTV. Its resolution is 2,880x1,800 pixels, providing a level of detail never seen on a laptop before. Of course, the real highlight is that new Retina Display. As Apple laptops have at times taken a while to trade up to Intel's latest hardware, it's nice to see Ivy Bridge arrive in a timely manner. Note that the 2012 MacBook Air and Pro lineups have been updated to Intel's third-generation Core i-series processors, also known as Ivy Bridge, and this new MacBook Pro with Retina Display starts out there. And, while that pre-existing 15-inch model is still considered thin for a midsize computer, recent challenges from Window-powered ultrabooks and even Apple's own MacBook Air have clearly influenced this split in the MacBook Pro family tree, leading to a thinner, more forward-looking offshoot (which will live alongside the thicker, non-Retina 15 and 13-inch Pro laptops). Updated periodically with new processors and new features, the MacBook Pro line remains a familiar sight in offices (especially in creative fields) and coffee shops. This is the biggest change to the Pro's aesthetics since it adopted the now-familiar aluminum unibody construction in 2008. At a starting price of $2,199, the Retina MacBook Pro is in a different tier of product than other recently spec-bumped Airs and Pros, but it also offers a mix of design and features that can't be duplicated in other Mac laptops: a quad-core processor in a body that's svelte (but not quite ultrabook-thin), discrete graphics, a super high-res display, and - new to any MacBook - HDMI. ![]()
