[quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by A2H GO[/i] Let me know what you think of the retina...[/quote]It's great. Very thin, thinner than I expected. Quite light, but not as light as I expected. Screen looks insanely good. Doesn't have the physical battery check button of the previous MBP, which is sort of a shame as I liked that quite a lot. It's completely silent during web browsing and light work. Haven't stress tested it yet. Build in speakers are not as good as the previous model, but not as bad as I'd have expected from the size. There's a big drawback to the super high resolution, being all bitmap graphics on web looking horrible. Sometimes it's hardly noticeable, other times it hits you in the face. Everytime I encounter a smiley face on CS I squint to try and get it in focus, which can't be done. Looking at the BMW homepage I get the impression that not a single picture is in focus. Browsing our own website all the graphics look broken, which isn't exactly a good way to review my own work, as I know for a fact it looks as intended at a regular resolution. OS X handles the resolution in a weird way, where you can't actually choose the native resolution, but only choose between 5 predefined zoom levels, determining how the software upscales. Currently downloading Borderlands 2 as I'm curious to see how the Iris Pro fares. Tomorrow I'll be spending the day in InDesign and Photoshop which will be my final test in determining if I want to keep the laptop. So far, I think I'm staying with my trusty old 1440x900 MBP, unfortunately. It's a shame they ditched the 1600x1050 high res option, as browsing the web on that actually looks quite a lot better. Conclusion is that my +2 year old MBP can still outperform both of my 2013 work machines, when it comes to simply displaying the internet. :lol: [/quote]
