![]() I took the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and lined it up next to a current-gen 13-inch MacBook Air. Then, it's definitely noticeable, but I've found it primarily of use in reading onscreen text more than anything else (the same was true for the Retina iPad versus previous non-Retina iPads). ![]() ![]() If all that sounds confusing, just know that you're unlikely to notice the difference between a Retina and non-Retina screen until you see them side by side. The end result is a screen that's higher-res than a 1,920x1,080-pixel laptop, but appears to operate at a lower screen resolution, all while appearing crisper and sharper. You can pop into the System Preferences menu and change that to "look like" 1,440x900 pixels or 1,680x1,050 pixels. ![]() Instead, Apple uses a different dot pitch for the screen, which makes the desktop appear to be operating at 1,280x800 pixels, just with a much finer grain to the image. Like the 15-inch version, this won't actually look like you're seeing full 2,560x1,600-pixel resolution (or 2,880x,1800 pixels, in the case of the 15-inch), if you still think about screen resolution in the same way Windows laptops do. The main selling point of this system, the Retina Display, is something that presents itself much better in person than online.
