Best display we've ever seen on a laptop. Two Thunderbolt ports. HDMI and USB 3. Speedy. Thin. Light. Quiet.
Apps not updated for Retina display can appear blurry. RAM, hard drive, and battery not user-upgradeable. FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet require $29 adapters. The $9.99 MagSafe-to-MagSafe 2 adapter should have been included for free.
Abstract: The now-top-end MacBook Pro, which starts at $2,199, represents a serious leap forward in screen technology. Words don't really do the 2880-x-1800-pixel screen justice, but let me try. It's stunning, amazing, unparalleled, hyper-sharp, crystal clear, film-like, bright, saturated, radical and mind-blowing...

FireWire and Ethernet require dongles, Despite thinness, won't replace an Air for most users considering a switch, Build-to-order options get expensive fast
Apple is betting on the future needs of professionals with the Retina MacBook Pro. Not everyone is entirely ready for that future right now, though, so Apple is offering Ivy Bridge-bumped versions of the "old" 15" and 13" MacBook Pro for those who aren't...

The latest MacBook Pro with Retina display is a force to be reckoned with, and in terms of specification and raw power so are the non-Retina Macbook models. While the price won't resonate well with everyone, the build quality and performance will take som...
Extremely sharp 2880×1800 resolution display is pure eye candy. Excellent springy keyboard and trackpad. Even the cheapest model, with 8GB of flash memory and an SSD, is super speedy. Never thought I'd be comfortable holding a 15inch notebook in one hand
Price is hard to swallow — upgrades, addons and accessories can bump the cost up nearly ,000 more. Sealed unibody design is impossible to upgrade yourself once you've purchased the device — but come now, you knew that going in

Abstract: Apple's next-generation MacBook Pro represents a marriage between the design of the whisper-thin MacBook Air and the power of the previous MacBook Pro. But it's the feature that sets this notebook apart — its high-resolution Retina display — that makes th...
