Roundup of Retina MacBook Pro Reviews
Do you like this story?
With a number of media outlets having received Retina MacBook Pro review
units on Monday after the Worldwide Developers Conference keynote and a
few early hands-on reports having been published, more extensive
reviews are now beginning to appear. To help summarize the overall
response to the new machine, we've put together this roundup of some of
the major reviews, along with some highlights from each of them.

If you could design your dream laptop, how would you describe it?
Superfast. Superthin. Superlight. Superlong battery life. Immense storage. Enough memory to keep lots of programs open at once. Stunning screen, comfortable keyboard, terrific sound. Fast start-up, rugged body, gorgeous looks.
And, of course, inexpensive.
The new Apple laptop that went on sale Monday hits an impressive number of those high notes in one radical swoop. As you might guess, the one it misses by the biggest margin is “inexpensive.”

Is
this the best Mac ever? You can't ignore the Air as an amazing piece of
machinery, especially with the new, higher-powered Ivy Bridge
processors and faster SSDs tucked inside its wedge profile. But, this
new Pro is on another level of performance. With a quad-core processor
and up to 16GB of RAM it's a proper beast -- a proper beast that you can
throw in your messenger bag and carry around all day without spending
all night complaining about an aching back.
That said, this is not exactly a small machine, heavy enough that those happy Air users who've been feeling tempted might want to take a swing by their closest Apple Store and lift one themselves. It's expensive, too.

If
you’re in the market for a premium OS X laptop right now, it’s hard not
to recommend the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. If, however,
power isn’t your ultimate goal, may we suggest shaving a few pounds and
specs for the MacBook Air. As for everything in between, those
non-Retina “standard” MacBook Pros, well... the writing’s on the wall.
And of course, it doesn’t hurt to be even a little bit patient and wait
for more apps to push Retina-optimized updates — if you get the MacBook
Pro with Retina display now, you’ll be waiting on the world to change.
Time – Harry McCracken
Even
for those of us who are unlikely to spend more than two grand on a
computer, or who prefer something more ultraportable than a 15″ model,
the arrival of the Retina MacBook Pro is a meaningful moment in Mac
history. It’s the most refined, advanced PC that Apple has produced to
date. And it’s a safe bet that the ideas it exhibits will be reflected
in future models from the company, including ones with smaller screens
and smaller price tags. It’s both a great computer, and a preview of
great computers to come.
CNET – Dan Ackerman
I've
previously called the 15-inch MacBook Pro one of the most universally
useful all-around laptops you can buy. This new version adds to that
with HDMI, faster ports, and more portability. But it also subtracts
from that with its exclusion of an optical drive and Ethernet port, plus
its very high starting price. The Pro and Retina Pro are clearly two
laptops designed for two different users, and with the exception of
all-day commuters who need something closer to a MacBook Air or
ultrabook, one of the two branches of the MacBook Pro family tree is
still probably the most universally useful laptop you can buy.
