momtaz Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Hi I am looking to buy a new MacBook pro, checked the 2.5 GHz and 13-inch, and for 2.6 GHz and 15-inch, the prominent difference between the 13 and 15-inch is retina screen resolution, I have heard that Apple will lauch the 13-inch MacBook pro with retina, which said it has a separated graphic card for a better display, I am not sure if this Oct. the new Apple product will be lauched or not? I will appreciate if any one has an idea to share about this topic, with many thanks in advance, Regards
thaicruze Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 eventually, everything will be "retina", their schtick word. When, as usual, you just have to wait for the unveiling. The question is, is it worth the price? If I was out to buy a 15" Macbook Pro I wouldn't buy a retina display. Even with the dedicated video card it lags big time. Even just scrolling down google images or resizing the notes app. I think it's because the switchable graphics aren't really playing well with that many pixels. To conserve battery life, it switches to the integrated graphics but this can't hand;e the retina so it lags. switch to the graphics card, it looks great, but the battery dies quickly. There's a lot to be ironed out with the retina display. Retina Display Macbooks are in a sort of "testing" phase. I don't think they're ready for primetime. To be honest, the regular 13" Pro does just fine. I'd rather a Macbook Air 13". If you need more "specs" then look into a Windows laptop.
