Tester av Apple MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch 2012-06
MacBook Pro möter Retina. Under WWDC 2012 lyfte Apple på locket och visade upp flera uppdaterade modeller, men de introducerade också en helt ny 15-tums MacBook Pro. Den nya modellen har ett ännu tunnare ”unibody”-skal i aluminium och ny hårdvara under huven. Men är prislappen på 21 495 kr (och uppåt) rimlig, eller är det bättre att satsa på den äldre modellen?

Annoyingly, it's now virtually impossible for users to upgrade their machine as their computing needs shift. Presumably to help it squeeze into its tiny shell (or just to lock the hardware firmly into Apple's iron fists), the battery is glued in and the RAM is soldered onto the logic board, making both irreplaceable or upgradable.

Apple has once again set a high bar in the notebook industry. Simply put, this system is in a class of its own with regards to system-wide performance and display technology. Sure, there are other systems that have more powerful graphics cards but for the average user, the increased screen resolution and lightning-fast flash storage are good tradeoffs. Early Mac adopters will jump ship in no time and Windows machines will eventually catch up with high-res displays. The factor here is timing, and right now there are few machines that can play along the MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

The Macbook Pro with Retina display isn't a perfect laptop despite its very high price – due in part to the solid state drive and the high-resolution display. The way Apple has utilised the staggering number of pixels it has packed into the high-quality screen is undeniably clever, though, and is the main draw of this laptop.Unless you have a lot of money to spare now, we would wait for the price of the screen technology to mature and become cheaper.

The newly released retina-screen MacBook Pro has been an interesting product to me since it was first announced. I have long been a proponent of higher resolution screens for PCs, hoping for the lower cost screens that we are just now finding in the Korean 27-in screen market (like the Achieva Shimian we recently reviewed). When Apple announced a 15-in notebook with a screen resolution of 2880x1800, my hopes were raised that other vendors would take note and duplicate the idea – thereby lowering costs and increasing visual quality for users across the board.

The specifications and benchmark results clearly excel yet they fail to define the precision build, meticulous design and the essential comfort of this pioneering laptop. If the £2399 price alarms, know that the £1799 model carries as much class and only its reduced SSD capacity is likely to affect some requirements.

Apple pulled out all the stops with the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. The screen, processor and graphics card are all high-calibre, the battery lasts nearly 6 hours and the finishing is tip-top. As it stands, the few shortcomings (such as the connectivity) aren't enough to warrant anything less than our best rating.

Quite simply, the MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina Display’s 2,880 x 1,800 IPS ‘Retina’ screen is amazing. And now that Apple finally offers USB 3.0 to go along with this laptop’s twin Thunderbolt ports, connectivity is also unmatched. Though they’re not upgradeable, specifications are powerful yet nicely balanced, even allowing for some decent gaming. Given you get all this goodness in a beautiful milled aluminium chassis that’s thinner than ever before, the Retina MacBook Pro does a lot to justify its premium price.

Unless you have a lot of money to spare now, we would wait for the price of the screen technology to mature and become cheaper. We would be surprised if Retina displays weren't standard across almost all of Apple's laptops within a couple of years with other laptop manufacturers adopting the technology, too.

I understand that this review may seem overly effusive - but it's hard to deny that the MacBook Pro with Retina Display provides a superlative experience for that specific set of users who require what this machine provides. The MacBook Pro with Retina Display is a bit of the past and a bit of the future, wrapped up into one tasty, toasty present. Brilliant screen meets refined design. What more do you need?

It is no surprise that Apple killed off the 17-inch MacBook Pro with the introduction of the MacBook Pro 15 With Retina Display. The display alone on the laptop is more than enough reason for anyone serious about graphics or video work to purchase this laptop. Add to this some phenomenal performance and battery life and it just keeps distancing itself away from just about every other 15-inch laptop on the market.

With 5.1 million pixels on the 15.4in display, the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processors and up to 768GB of SSD storage, Apple has raised the bar for laptops. The MacBook Pro gains a staggeringly crisp Retina display and quad-core Ivy Bridge CPU. The result is stunning, and although expensive there is no other laptop out there to match it.

Apple has done an incredible job with the next-gen MacBook Pro. It brings a level of portability to the 15-inch chassis that we’ve never seen before from Apple, all while getting a good handle on some of the thermal and noise issues from last year’s model. If you’re like me and have to lug your 15-inch MBP around, the improvements in portability alone are worth the upgrade.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is a truly an object of desire. It packs incredible power, and its screen puts other notebook displays to shame. It might be a notebook like no other, but its price may well limit it to high-needs professionals.

There's no doubt that Apple's 2012 MacBook Pro is a great piece of kit. Its Retina display and Ivy Bridge CPU are the main attractions, but its keyboard and overall build quality are still among the best in the business and make this laptop a worthy upgrade for current MacBook Pro users and new users alike.

The slight letdown on reviewing this new model is that it’s still running Mac OS X Lion, version 10.7.4. Apple said that anyone buying a Mac is eligible for a free copy of Mountain Lion when it’s launched in July, but it would have been nice if the hardware and software could have been released together.

For now, the Retina display-equipped Pro is still a luxury item, and may not be worth the price for average users. But for professional content creators and power users juggling multiple 1080p video streams and doing detailed photo editing, the new Pro offers a level of visual accuracy heretofore unheard of.

Apple has made some bold decisions in redesigning the MacBook Pro: the absent optical drive, the lack of user upgradeability, and, of course, the need for developers to upgrade their software to take advantage of the Retina display. The balance of build, performance and design is impeccable, and there’s simply no other laptop that comes close to cramming so much quality into a 2kg chassis. For those who can afford it, the MacBook Pro with Retina display stands without peer.

Apple's MacBook Pros have become the go-to laptop for professionals who demand high performance for creative tasks like photo and video editing. Apple has updated its workhorse 15-inch MacBook Pro with a super-high resolution retina screen, a slimmer and lighter design and the latest-generation Intel processors. It's an extreme machine, but the lack of an Ethernet port and the total inability to upgrade it will be problems for pro users.

The Macbook Pro 15 with Retina display is an excellent and expensive laptop, there’s no denying that. But it is also very unique and I’m very curious to see what the competition will come up with in the next few months, and at what price. Now the real question is: is it for you?

A Pro workstation that weighs 4.5 lbs. and has a display like none other? Check. A laptop that walks circles around the 13" MacBook Air (also refreshed with third generation Intel processors)? Check. A more portable 15" MacBook Pro. Check. One of the most portable 15" notebooks on the planet, regardless of operating system? That's the MacBook Pro with Retina display, and it's my new Mac of choice.

It’s hard not to admire the all-round quality of Apple’s latest release. The Retina display leaves every other laptop display we’ve ever seen trailing in its wake. But just as important is the fact that Apple has managed to significantly reduce the size and weight of this Pro model without compromising performance.

The MacBook Pro with Retina display is comparable to Apple’s MacBook Air from 2008. Apple uses this to show what it can achieve, and what is in store for the future. There is no doubting that within a couple of years the screen technology seen here will be the de facto screen technology on the entire MacBook range.

So, in these days of perfectly serviceable $500 mainstream Windows laptops, how does a machine more than four times the price garner such high marks? Apple has a funny way of turning wants into needs. For digital content creators—who are really the users for whom we're breaking out the 5-star-rating champagne—the Retina Pro is a revelation.

Not just nice and light, not just good and thin – Apple's first retina-class Mac is a triumph in portable computing. We'll update this review with benchmarks on battery life and system performance soon; but in just over 24 hours of steady use, we're even inclined to forgive the reflective screen. Make no mistake, the Apple MacBook Pro (Retina) is an even greater breakthrough than we'd hoped – and our hopes were already pegged very very high. It's just such a comfortable laptop to use, an engineering breakthrough that can excite the heart as much as the mind.

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.

It’s worth noting that Apple didn’t describe the new MacBook Pro as its “Retina Display” upgrade to the previous Pro: instead, it referred to the notebook the company’s best ideas for the next-generation of Pro. That’s because there’s more to it than all those extra pixels. Apple has polished, trimmed and pared away at its flagship to bring it resolutely up to date with the leading edge of the computer ecosystem.

Starting at $2,199, the new MacBook Pro wasn't designed for the masses. It's for those who demand the very best and are willing to pay for it. The Retina Display is a positively sublime canvas for both content consumption and creation. It's really in its own league. While you can pick up a non-Retina Display 15-inch Pro with the same processor, RAM and graphics for $300 less, you don't get the benefits of flash memory, and it's more than a pound heavier.

So buy one, and don’t look back. You’re getting more than just a fancy screen, it genuinely is the best laptop around in almost every respect – battery life aside. Or don’t buy one and wait for a future bargain. Either way, Apple’s MacBook Pro with Retina Display is a milestone event that deserves its accolades, even if you end up admiring it from afar.
