IMO it looks much better. Only rasterized objects are scaled. 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.
