rMBP should ship with ML around august earliest, it took a long time for Lion to come preinstalled with last year's MBP after it was released.
around 2 months :s

Sounds like anyone who has an opinion different from yours is, by default, a troll?

No offence btw. icon_rolleyes.gif

PS. I think RMBP is the greatest laptop in the world. Literally. Except scrolling in Safari is a joke. But I guess Mountain Lion will fix that. I guess it's common practice for most companies to use early adopters as lab rats.

whats wrong with Safari scrolling?

read many reviews, but I'm really confused.
Apple added four times the pixels, but why does it still shrink when its at 2880x1800? :s
shouldn't the icon have more detail?

The non-Retina has to push only 1440x900, Retina has to push 4 times of that, while still keeping things coherent on the UI and the background processes. Pushing 4 times the numbers of pixels isn't an easy feat.

That framerate mentioned was Safari scrolling, not the UI elements in Lion. And it is scrolling at 1440x900 sampled at 2880x1800. I do not have issues running at "Best For Retina", the problem gets more evident at 1680x1050 or the 1920x1200 sampled, because as how Anand describes it, these resolution are doubled (3360x2100 and 3840x2400, way beyond the Retina's 2880x1800) and then down sampled back to 2880x1800 into the native Retina resolution. Sampling at these scaled resolution will always take a performance hit.

He also mention, as how I've mentioned earlier as well, that Mountain Lion will take advantage of the hardware, using Core Animation processes, and speeds up this lag in Lion. Lion do not take advantage of this, hence therefore you see hi mentioning that even scrolling in Safari around will shoot up one of the 4 IVB cores to 100%.

HiDPI. Read what Anand has to say in in his review. Apple does not expose that resolution because it is not workable at that resolution unless you have super eagle eyes. Simple test,go to you notebook run now, run though all the supported resolution and see how the UI elements behave. They will shrink.

Apple adds more pixels, yes that is current. But The space they're residing does not increase, instead they're densely packed.

understand it now, thanks for your explanation.
this won't stop me from my purchase.
will use it at 1440x900 resolution until ML is released.
many bought it for the display, but I'm not buying it for the display, so it doesn't seem to be a set back for me
only receiving my rMBP this coming week

Last checked, Windows Bootcamp drivers aren't available yet. Particularly display drivers. Maybe things has changed since then.

Gonna be a better person and not feed the troll. Oh hey, I see someone reported this post earlier than I am, thanks whoever you are. Let's get back on track.

Just for kicks though:

Anyone interested to test drive the apps mentioned in the spoilered screenshot, welcomed to do so. I'm heading to this audiophile meet now, and will be there probably until late.

Yup. Download the image and you'll see from the file info that it is 2880x1800. The difference is, in "Best for Retina" display settings, the UI element take the size of 1440x900 elements. The text size, the icon sizes are all the size you'll see from a 1440x900 UI behavior.

okay, so in which setting does the Safari scrolling lags?

Not evident on the "Best for Retina" settings, as far as I can see. More noticeable on the higher 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 because of the nature of Apple's sampling engine, AND the fact that it doesn't take advantage of Core Animation hardware.

now i truly understand why the display unit at KLCC didn't catch my eyes at all, its at Best for Retina setting and the wallpaper is the standard Andromeda Galaxy.
nonetheless, high resolution screen just seem to be a bonus for me.
not really important tongue.gif
flash architecture and redesigned body is the main reason I'm purchasing

Wait until you use it for your daily usage.
I won't go back to any non retina display screen anymore.

Those text looked blur for me. Should say, extremely blur.
I tried my RMBP with Thunderbolt display in Machines.
The text is so blur on Thunderbolt display.
Mind you, Thunderbolt display is again, one of the top consumer monitor you can find out there.
Be frank, I won't get a thunderbolt display, unless Thunderbolt display been updated to Retina Version.

The retina display is a very important features.
People are comparing iWorks, office for mac on Retina Display.

Try use Aperture and iMovie on a Retina Display. You will definitely see the difference.

For me, the weight and thickness is the bonus.

SSD is not a very big thing for me as I'm using SSD in my MBP for the past two years.

well i need to receive my unit before i can comment further tongue.gif
