Hmm, isn't the MBA mainly about mobility and battery life? Wouldn't a retina display drain too much power?

- lnanek2 13y agoSupposedly the new panel is IGZO, which should take less power than previously. I use a retina macbook pro as my daily driver, but I don't even care about the retina myself. I guess I do care about battery life and lightness, though. I suppose retina is a good bullet point for them over other laptops, though, so maybe it is worth it for them for improving sales.
- mikhailt 13y agoCorrect, that's one of the screen technologies that is supposedly already in place for the new iPad Airs.
- dombili 13y agoThat's true and Apple probably knows that. They wouldn't add retina screen to MBA and compromise on battery life. Battery life would probably stay the same.
