Today I saw the new MacBook Pro with retina display [View all]

Wow!

That screen is simply incredible. Yes, I have an iPad3 with retina display. Not as large a screen, but far closer to a laptop than an iPhone. Yes it is incredible on the iPad3.

But on that MacBook Pro?

Wow!

There's nothing else to say. It seems to me that the retina display is the point beyond which display resolution increases become a matter of diminishing returns. I can see the difference between my (slightly less than) 1 year old MacBook Pro and my iPad 3. I can see pixelation on the MBP. For that matter, I can see it on my iPad and iPad2. I can't see any on the iPad3. If the eye can't discern any more resolution, then adding it does nothing but add to the specs, doesn't it?

Wow!
