Our TN-screen MacBook Pro measured a little higher, but still good, 2.40 Delta E. The Retina MacBook Pro averaged just 1.35 Delta E.
We ran a Delta E test, and looked for deviation from absolute colour fidelity with a range of 48 spot-tone tests. The only time you may need such a level is when working outside in strong daylight.Ĭolour accuracy is impressive too. That’s a high maximum brightness too – impressive looking but too high for normal use. The Retina MacBook Pro was recorded at 720:1 at its maximum measured brightness of 300 cd/m2. A very good example of the technology, it measured 92 and 68 percent respectively in the same gamut test.Ĭontrast ratio in the checkboard test of the standard MacBook Pro came in with 520:1 contrast ratio. Our non-Retina MacBook Pro (Mid-2012), meanwhile, takes a twisted-nematic (TN) display. Those figures are good, but not uniquely outstanding. The device cannot quantify the HiDPI mode effect, but it did show that the display was capable of showing 98 percent of the sRGB gamut, and 76 percent of Adobe RGB. We evaluated the screen using a Datacolor Spyder4Elite colorimeter to find some numbers to back up some of our hyperbole. Typography is rendered exactly as it was designed, without the need for fuzzy anti-aliasing to give the semblance of rounded script edges. Beyond the beauty of photographs and graphics, the Retina MacBook is a real boon to readers, to editors, to anyone that reads printed words from the screen. Look even closely at the elements of the OS X interface, and you won’t see any jagged edges. The final ace up a new model’s is likely to be much improved Wi-Fi performance thanks to the adoption of the 802.11ac wireless standard. But for a prospective buyer today, we would advise waiting until this autumn’s possible refresh, which is likely to underscore the design’s lead, thanks to an even more efficient Haswell processor that is likely to extend battery life to beyond 10 hours, as well as improve graphics fluidity and uprate storage performance further with PCIe-connected solid-state storage. None can match the build and performance of the Apple Retina-screen MacBook Pro.

The Windows laptops are saddled with Microsoft’s unpopular Windows 8 software which besides all its usability issues is not yet suited to high-resolution displays.
None are serious competition – the Google laptop has limited specifications and its Chrome OS is arguably just spyware made manifest. A few competitors have stepped up with Retina-class displays, examples being the Google Chromebook Pixel, Toshiba Kirabook, Asus Zenbook Infinity and Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus. Fourteen months after its release, the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display (Mid-2012) remains the finest notebook computer money can buy.
