Apple revealed their new MacBook Pro at their WWDC (worldwide developers conference) and it has an amazing screen.
Specs:
While it is still cheaper than the Razer’s Blade Laptop Apple’s new laptop is still pretty expensive (starting at $2199). However, is Apple setting a trend with these higher density pixel displays? It would be nice to see higher resolutions become standard with the hardware to back it up. While the 650m in the 15.4″ MacBook Pro is great, it may struggle doing 3D intensive tasks such as gaming at that resolution (Crysis Maxed out at that res with that GPU? PRobably not a good idea). But again, it would be nice to see more 15″ laptops have 1080p displays and 14″ laptops have 1600×900 displays. Either way, this very well may lead to manufacturers and PC retailers offering higher resolution displays to their consumers.
Woah! That is quite a display! The GT 650 is nice, but you may have some trouble with some games at that res heh. Overall though this is quite an awesome laptop and it is as thin as the MacBook Air. I’m not much of an Apple fan, but this laptop has impressed me a bit ;).
Hmmm I say the display is wasted at that size. 17inch would be a more fitting size for that resolution. And that price lol.
I agree to some extent. I do want higher resolutions for smaller monitors since it does provide a higher pixel density and more work space. I know some people under valued the high res screen in the new iPad and it actually turned out really well. So, I am not sure if it is a mistake or not to be to critical of it at this point, but you never know.
Maybe 1920 x 1080 would have been nice, but then again too many people are starting to do that now at 15inches on laptops. So, from a marketing stand point the uber high res screen is quite a selling point and provides an unmatched pixel density that no other manufacturer is currently providing.
The screen is a waste in terms of gaming and what not though since the GPU may struggle in some areas with some games. With that said, at least it is cheaper and more powerful than the Razer Blade XD.
I think the said display has way better colors, so that’s good no matter what. Still 1920×1080 in 15 inches? ugh… Something sounds extremely off about that. Ah well, stronger GPUs are needed for laptops in general. lol
Yeah, 1920 x 1080 is actually starting to become more popular for 15inch screens, which isn’t necessarily bad, but like you said laptops need better GPUs in general :D.
