Mac 13-inch MacBook Pro

13inch MacBook Pro

There are no superlatives left for Apple’s Retina displays the company is leading the industry in shipping ultra-high-resolution screens and building software to take advantage of them. And while others are starting to catch up on smartphones and tablets, there’s simply no match in the laptop world. This is what computers should look like from now on.

Apple’s basic trick is a simple one: where a traditional display has a single pixel, a Retina display has four but the extra pixels are used to make everything sharper, not provide more screen real estate. Quadrupling pixel density in this way means the Retina 13 has a 226ppi 2560 x 1600 display where the previous Pro had a 113ppi 1280 x 800 display, but the effective screen area at the default "best" setting is still 1280 x 800.

Put more simply, you’re seeing the same amount of stuff out of the box as the previous 13-inch MacBook Pro, but assuming you’re looking at a Retina-enhanced app you’re seeing it far more beautifully.
