I wouldn't consider purchasing a laptop with a non "retina" screen in 2016.
Back a few years ago when I bought a 15' retina pro the leap in usability was tremendous. Other laptops' screens and displays looked terribly outdated in comparison.
Give me a slower processor, even a smaller hd - but I need the super-high-res screen.
- mynameishere 10y agoHonestly, why? What's the difference? Are you a graphic designer? ED: Note to joshkpeterson--you are apparently hellbanned.
- scott_karana 10y agoThey look amazing. Everything else looks shabby when you switch.
- joshkpeterson 10y agoFront end devs should probably have one so they're not blind to certain issues that a large % of their users will see.
- spronkey 10y agoThere is actually one really useful factor, which is being able to view phone displays at 100% resolution without scrolling.
- superuser2 10y agoLooks far nicer, and drastically less eye strain looking at text all day.
- rockdoe 10y agoText (and general glyph) rendering is way sharper. Causes less eyestrain.
- hobarrera 10y agoMeh, that's just relative. My eyesight is poor enough for me to be unable to tell the difference. There's lot of us out there. I, personally, have NO benefit in paying for such a high-res screen, because I literally cannot see the difference.
- rockdoe 10y agoI presume you're farsighted?
