“The display of Apple’s retina MacBook is a stunning piece of engineering. After spending a week with it here is an article that covers how it works and some of the problems you may face,” Richard Mallion writes for Amsys. “The Retina Display is an extremely high resolution panel at 2880 x 1800 pixels. This is 44.6% more pixels than Apple’s 27-inch Thunderbolt Display, and 26.6% more pixels than the old 30-inch panel. At 220 pixels per inch it’s easily the highest density consumer notebook panel shipping today.”
Mallion writes, “The flexibility offered by Apple’s handling of the Retina Display in OS X is unparalleled. What applications like Aperture, iPhoto, iMovie and Final Cut HD offer, is unbridled resolution independence. What Apple has done here is so much more difficult than what it pulled off in iOS with the Retina Display. It will take time for third party application developers to get on board, but with the Mac app store and Apple’s growing install base of Mac users we should see incredibly quick adoption of support for the MacBook Pro’s Retina Display.”
