![]() ![]() The Retina display is the selling point here, and the 2880-by-1800-pixel screen has more than 5 million pixels, which is enough to edit full-screen 1080p high-definition video in Final Cut Pro and still have more than 3 million pixels left over for your work palettes. ![]() Heck, it's only 0.03 inches thicker than a MacBook Air. The first word I thought of when I unboxed the new MacBook Pro was "sexy." It's a quarter-inch thinner and more than a pound lighter than the non-Retina 15-inch model. Neither can be upgraded on the Retina.Īpple isn't ready to shrink the entire MacBook Pro line just yet, as it has also introduced new models of the more traditional 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros that do still have upgradeable RAM and hard drives and optical drives. Think about the normal items to upgrade on a laptop - RAM and hard drive. Look at the similarities to the Air - thinner body, no optical drive, fewer ports, RAM soldered to the motherboard and no spinning hard drives, only solid-state drives.Īpple has really taken the design to another level, and I'm impressed with how it looks and performs, but I'm sad about how it's built with little regard for upgrades. To me, the MacBook Pro with Retina has more in common with the Air models than with the other MacBook Pros. ![]() The MacBook Air came out without a built-in DVD drive or Ethernet port, and now Apple's new MacBook Pro with Retina Display joins the club. Apple has also been a leader in dumping features it considers unnecessary.Īpple was the first to dump floppy disks, then analog modems, and now optical drives and Ethernet ports. ![]()
