MacBook Pro Retina Display Unboxing
Picked up my new laptop last week, so far it is amazing how bad sites and software look on this amazing screen...hopefully everyone upgrades to highrez soon.
More images.
More images.

this will be interesting. retina display is obviously the future - it's beautiful when sites support it.
but it's hard enough to build a web site these days (desktop, mobile, responsive design, etc); now you have to create 2 sets of asset classes for the next 3-5 years & figure out a way to serve them properly.
some sites, like apple, will make 2 calls for every image to see if there's a high-res version = slowness & bandwidth hog.
and millions of mom & pop sites (eg, most of them out there) will never upgrade their assets; so the majority of web sites will look crappy on the retina display for a long time.
curious to see how this plays out.

I've had mine for a week now and think the web looks great. The biggest thing is that text is night and day sharper. Considering everything I do on the computer somehow involves reading, this is a major upgrade. btw, I'm selling my 11" Air if anyone wants it.

Steve how do you compare them? I have a 2011 Air also and considering this?

The 15 is obviously much bigger, much faster and the screen is much more sharp. I haven't traveled since I got it, but just from bringing it around town some, I think the size is still manageable. I found the older 15" MBP to be too big and heavy to carry around. If you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them
