sure this stuff might be overpriced but damn, apple make some good stuff when they're not suing other companies & patenting everything on the planet.
I hope everyone does their "lets copy Apple" thing with the high res screens
[QUOTE=JustGman;36288158]who buys this crap?[/QUOTE]
People that have money and want it.
[QUOTE=JustGman;36288158]who buys this crap?[/QUOTE]
People who don't care about costs.
[QUOTE=JustGman;36288158]who buys this crap?[/QUOTE]
A lot of people. Apple may be overpriced, but a lot of people like their products.

I'll admit, I actually kind of want this.
Holy fuck, saw the latest iPad with the retina display and that was really hair sharp. And now on a laptop.
But yeah, 2199$
Specs are pretty decent though
For $2,000, the laptop better fellate me as it sits on my lap.

[QUOTE=JoshJosh117;36288622]FYI, they also announced iOS 6, which looks like it will have a bunch of useful additions (such as turn-by-turn navigation, finally).[/QUOTE]
That could be useful on my iph-
[quote]Flyover and turn-by-turn navigation will be available only on iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or later.[/quote]
Nevermind...

you don't know how retina display works do you
cant wait to buy a 2200 dollar laptop that only 5 non-apple apps will use the retina scren and not look gritty
.
I'll be skeptical until I look at it.
Which is when I'll orgasm
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36288823]you don't know how retina display works do you[/QUOTE]
I guess it is just your regular LCD with really high res, isn't it?
another problem with "retina" mac:
images on websites will always look gritty
right?

[QUOTE=Reader;36289134]I guess it is just your regular LCD with really high res, isn't it?[/QUOTE]
one pixel on your current monitor becomes 4 pixels on a retina display.

Thing is, this wouldn't work well with windows at 15" , because it is pretty bad at scaling in general
OSX Generally does it better from experience
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;36288458]gimme gimme gimme[/QUOTE]
You're probably running at 200% ppi on most stuff, so you won't actually see the resolution difference. You'll just get a bigger pixel density and some nicer font rendering.
But you'll also get blurrier videos and pictures.

Nah, windows does DPI scaling jsut fine. The problem with earlier versions was, that the assets just weren't up to par in resolution to support double the DPI. I think that's no longer the case with seven, since it uses more vectors and generally upscaled all assets.
[QUOTE=JoshJosh117;36289375]I would assume they look no worse than they do at current resolutions?[/QUOTE]
There's two options how it will work out. Either they use the same smoothing filter as they do on the ipad. Or they'll run some other algorythm on them. But generally speaking, most images will probabably look worse on the retina display than they do on a normal one. As you're upscaling almost everything 4x. The ipad on top of that has a blur algorithm for pictures that get upscaled like this which makes them look even worse.
I'm almost certain though, that the pictures will get upscaled. As you actually won't be getting more screen estate with the retina display, but more pixel density. Basically you're running at 200DPI.
and my Windows PC is still 210% cheaper and way more powerful
Have super high resolution screen
Keep the 720p webcam, why.
Also no CD drive
fuck this
Hopefully separate stationary computer monitors like [URL="http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&sku=224-9949"]this one[/URL] will become [B]MUCH[/B] cheaper due to "retina" displays in all of Apple's line-up.
