We just got back from checking out the new top-tier MacBook Pro with Retina display, and it is indeed as drool-worthy as we thought. With a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels (up from 1440x900 pixels in the previous 15” model), it packs four times the pixels into the same amount of space. Checking out images on it is much like looking through a transparency on a lightbox - it’s that clear and crisp. You really understand what four times the pixels means when you open a full resolution raw file shot from a 36.3MP camera like Nikon's D800 and zoom in to 100%.
