Didn’t think so. Yet, Apple thinks it could be better. This has long been a theme for the famed technology company: Find a product that people don’t think is all that flawed (early MP3 players) and replace it with a product so captivating (iPod) that they forget whatever came before it. The company continued its pattern last week with a new addition to the MacBook family: the MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

While 2K+ for a laptop is a bit out of my range, that display is a thing of beauty. As with all Apple products, the design is up front but doesnt get in the way. I went next door to Best Buy and looked over the comparably priced ultrabooks and notebooks and you can immediatly see what you are getting. Look closely at straight lines - window borders, text, a nice high MP image.... The close your eyes for a second and remember that those slick looking ultrabooks all run Windows - remember how much you love that registry....... Makes the 2K+ for the Macbook seem not to far out of line...... -- Nothin' left to do but smile smile smile

HiVolt Premium join:2000-12-28 Toronto, ON kudos:17 Reviews: ·TekSavvy Cable ·TekSavvy DSL	Don't forget to add the $349 AppleCare, that's really a must for this thing more than any other Apple product before, since nothing is user replacable and repairable... If I were to buy one, I'd get AppleCare and then sell it about 6 months before it expired... Cuz threre's no way I'd want to hold onto it long term with no ability to get it repaired for a reasonable price.
