Once again, Apple shows PC makers and the world that it's ahead of the curve.

Yes, I'm talking about the new Retina MacBook Pro 15-inch.

2880x1800 resolution on a 15.4-inch display! How crazy is that? That is a step PC makers should have taken years ago, and once again, Apple demonstrates that it's ahead of the curve in terms of introducing new innovations into laptops.

I can't wait to go to the Apple Store on Wednesday to check out one of these for myself and hold it in my hand. Unfortunately, even with an education discount, it will still cost me $2134...

That's nice, you go waste your money on that.

Once again, another Apple thread being made talking about how they're better than PCs. Don't remember the last time I've seen a thread made about how PCs are better. I guess we see what that says about MacFanbois.

If it is a step PC makers should have done years ago, and Macs are personal computers, why isn't Apple also at fault for waiting so long?

lol... so reaming the consumer for a pretty screen is "ahead of the curve"??comp_atkins

$2k for a laptop that still does the same things a $600 one does. And no one needs a resolution that high unless they are some uber gamer...and if that's the case you wouldn't buy a laptop, let alone a Mac.

Just another case of useless "improvements" so Apple can charge six times the retail price.

I got my ipad (3rd gen) for free, so price wasn't an issue.

But using it now, hell yeah its overpriced. But i still love it.

Can't wait to get siri from iOS6.

But their laptops, on the other hand, f**king suck for the price. Who actually buys those? Oh, wait.

thats not ahead of the curve, those pixels in so little screen are a waste of graphic procesing. They are just charging you more for them

That's a looooot of resolution for a 15 inch display. I feel like adding more pixels isn't even a noticeable improvement when the screen is that small and the resolution so big. It's cool but not worth the money.

But can it play Crysis!?

that is an absolutely digusting price for a laptop you can't fix on your own.

Mac OS X features some pretty good scaling... So it won't look too small.

I half expected this topic to have been made by musicalmac.

Less aliasing and it's very beneficial for photographers.
