Still, it feels like a nice shift from the current Pro, which is what I'd call a "carry it around twice per week, tops" laptop. Because it eclipses the previous MacBook Pro in many ways, it earns a CNET Editors' Choice nod. It provides desktop-replacement-level performance, but is nearly as slim as an imagined 15-inch MacBook Air would be, even if it's a little heavier than it looks. In the end, the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, while expensive, is the best all-around MacBook Apple now makes - unless you absolutely, positively need a built-in optical drive or Ethernet jack (both are available via external dongles or peripherals). It'll likely be more useful for heavy readers or Photoshop/Final Cut users at first, and we'll have to see how long it takes for other popular programs to update themselves to take advantage of the new screen. In person, the Retina Display looks great, although you're more likely to notice it when comparing to a non-Retina laptop. Apple solves this via a different dot pitch for the screen, much as it did on the third-gen iPad. That previous high-water mark has been fine in my experience, but even that can make text and images look small on a 15-inch laptop. The highest standard Windows laptop screen resolution is 1,920x1,080 pixels, the same as an HDTV. Its resolution is 2,880x1,800 pixels, providing a level of detail never seen on a laptop before. Of course, the real highlight is that new Retina Display.
