For some reason, I'm not as enamored or impressed with the whole Retina-thing as everyone else. Even when I bought a new 15" MBPro a couple months ago, I went with the standard screen (though I do use my laptop plugged into external monitor 75% of the time). Sure, the Retina is nice, and I'll appreciate it when it's the default standard in a few years, but I don't look at it and think "WOAH, THIS IS AMAZING, I NEED THIS NOW."
- rahoulb 14y agoI find it more like HDTV. I wasn't unhappy with standard definition, but I ended up watching more and more HD over time. Now, when I watch SD, I notice it - not enough to put me off, but enough that it's ever-so slightly annoying.
- untog 14y agoI'm the same. The difference on the iPhone seemed significant, but when I see it on a laptop it really isn't (probably because the pixel density is different- 'retina' is a deliberately vague term). I'm currently choosing between a 13" Retina or a 13" Air for my next purchase, and I'm leaning towards the Air. The Retina just isn't that big a factor.
