No don't get me wrong, I would strangle for 200+ DPI across 27". And it does seem inevitable. I thin it's just asking too much of the supply right now, especially when there's an entire MacBook and MacBook Pro line to update, not forgetting the legacy Windows market too.
- martingordon 14y agoI don't think the Airs will get retina for a while – until a case redesign or the retina display gets thinner. Take a look at this shot from the Ars review of the 15": http://cdn.arstechnica.net//wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rMBP_thick_v_Air.jpg http://cdn.arstechnica.net//wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rMBP_... The thickness of the two notebooks are the same, but the MBP has a much thicker display and thinner body. That's fine for the "spine" of the notebook, but I don't think the Air's thin end can get any thinner. I think next in line for a retina display is the 13" Pro and that Apple might keep a non-retina vs retina distinction between the Airs and the Pro for a little while.
- jpxxx 14y agoGood eye! I think you're totally right. This might force a new Air body which makes it more of a project than it would otherwise be. If the Air wasn't selling it might be a priority, but these things appear to be blowing off the shelf.
