How does the retina screen scaled 1920x1080 compare to a laptop with native 1920x1080?
I'd expect the native 1920x1080 to actually yield a sharper image than retina scaled down.
I realize Apple doesn't provide a native 1920x1080, but it's not hard to find in non-Apple 15" laptops, at an easy $1,000 cost savings for higher-performance components (but less thin-and-light).

Fonts and native components still render at full DPI. > I realize Apple doesn't provide a native 1920x1080, but it's not hard to find in non-Apple 15" laptops, at an easy $1,000 cost savings for higher-performance components (but less thin-and-light). Good luck finding one with equal or better build quality that will run a POSIX OS flawlessly (no driver issues, no hacking configs or recompiling, etc) and costs $1000 less. I looked at a lot of other hardware before buying my 15" rMBP and couldn't find anything that measured up.
- niels_olson 14y agoI have owned a Dell Latitude D820 with a WUXGA (1920 X 1200) screen since 2006(-ish?). It is good, but not nearly as good at the Retina, and the screen is more square, making two sheets side-by-side feel awkward.
