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.
The New York Times – David Pogue
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.”
Engadget – Tim Stevens
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.
The Verge – Ross Miller
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.
