This is just silly. Are there legions of websites that work on non-Retina computers that actually break on the Retina MacBook Pro (rather than just looking bad)

Web designers should not default to the latest-and-greatest. When they do, they often produce sites that are completely unusable without it. Web designers should spend more time worrying about users that don't have the latest-and-greatest (aka most users).
Most web designers need old laptops and low-end smartphones far, far more than they need a Retina MacBook Pro.
- pnp 14y agoCertainly not legions but it is worthwhile to step into an Apple store and give your sites a try. I was surprised to find my canvas-based code breaking on the Retina MacBook Pro. FWIW, the cause was getImageData(0, 0, w, h) returning 4wh pixels and not w*h as I naively expected.
