Should clear this up. There is an updated MacBook Air line (11" and 13"). There is an updated MacBook Pro line (13" and 15" with 'normal' screen, same chassis and updated internals). And then there is a new 15" MacBook Pro with a 2880 x 1800 screen and is 0.71" thick. I like to dub this one the MacBook Pro Air.
- orbitingpluto 14y agoThanks for adding that. As I understand, the "Retina display" label takes into account the recommended viewing distance from the display. An iPhone display will be held much closer than someone (with proper posture) at a laptop.
- megablast 14y agoSo the Air do not have the retina display? The 15" pro would be good, but can not go back to a mechanical hdd.
- aiscott 14y agoIt's flash based, up to 768GB.
- jmelloy 14y agoThe 15" Pro with the retina display is SSD.
- megablast 14y agoJust read that as well, which makes it a very valid option. Would be great to develop on a screen like this.
- mtgx 14y agoNo, but if you want you can get 11" or 13" ultrabook from Asus with a 1080p resolution.
- cpr 14y agoExcept that Windows doesn't have the HiDPI concept, which makes all your UI truly tiny and useless.
- _stephan 14y agoYou can change the DPI in Windows. Not all apps properly support high DPI settings, but that probably won't be different on OSX, at least in the beginning. What you can't do in Windows is have different DPI settings for different displays, and I wonder how a retina MacBook will work with a non-retina external display.
- reustle 14y agoI'm waiting for them to rename the MacBook Air to MacBook.
