So regarding the HD problems in some iMacs, how do we tell if a given iMac is affected?madprocess posted:Retina displays? Maybe in 10 years, in the meantime dpi will just steadily creep upwards!  Granted, I don't expect to see a retina 27' iMac anytime soon, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the smaller Apple portables get them in the near future.

madprocess posted:If you knew anything about screen tech you'd know it is. Also what dpi are these "retina" displays you're talking about? EDIT: But seriously, OS X Lion is likely to have a lifespan of 2 years or so. You really don't think they could go from producing a 10' 266dpi display to a 13' 266dpi in the span of a couple years?

flyboi posted:This explains it pretty well: EDIT: dissss posted:Apple isn't, at least not at the moment. Given that the current lifespan of an OS X release is about 2 years, it does not seem to unreasonable to expect to see some Macs with such displays before 10.8's release.

madprocess posted:Who is producing a 266 dpi 10 inch screen. Where can I buy it. How much does it cost. Just because a part isn't sold directly to consumers at your local big box store, it doesn't exist as part of any other product? Really now. Or has technology stopping advancing? If so, please let me know, there's some R&D people to lay off.

madprocess posted:You know aside from the fact they can only do it at 10 inches now. So while you're correct I can't say for certain that we're going to see a Mac with a 2x display in 2 years, or what it might cost, I think it's quite likely these products are in the pipeline. Even beyond Apple, I've seen enough to know other companies think such displays in commercial products in the not-distant future are a lot more likely than you imply. Of course, only time will tell.

madprocess posted:Personally, I don't expect Apple using "retina" panels in their computers until they're available at all sizes of screen they sell. It would just be bizarre if you only had say the 11 and 13 inch Airs with Retina displays (especially since they will always have lower end graphics chips than the rest of the line due to their design) while all other models still had normal displays. While I imagine they'd prefer to start from the big, high-end monitors, I don't anticipate seeing a 27' 2x-DPI display soon. If they waited until they were, they could be way behind the curve on that. I've taken care to state that very hi res displays aren't impossible, they're just not likely to be out for quite some time. madprocess posted:That's another reason I don't see Apple being the ones to introduce really high dpi screens to computers, they do like to hold off and not go with stuff like this right away.

Fat Whale posted:Some serious evidence for "Retina" display Macs: While I wouldn't hold my breath for a 27" 5000px display within my price range anytime soon, if the iPad 3 does indeed sport a retina screen, I think it's fairly safe to assume laptop-sized retina displays won't be far behind.

I am a little sad, if a 15" is shipping this month, then it most likely means no retina display. (I am assuming we have to wait for ML machines for that.)

Bass Bottles posted:I know there's supposed to be a major refresh on the pro line soon, but how soon? I've read some people say end of April and others say mid-July. I'd really rather not go 3 months without a laptop. A lot of retailers are reporting not going more stock of 15" models, which usually indicates an update coming very soon. On the other hand, updates to the 13" and 17" are likely a few months off.

Hiyoshi posted:Are they both named Macintosh HD? flavor posted:Presumably we know just about jack poo poo whether something is done or not. But apart from that question, what major "software side" is there to a retina display? It's just a display with a higher resolution, and there needs to be optional support for making some elements larger so they're reasonably visible under that resolution. This could also be added to Lion and doesn't justify waiting an indefinite amount of time for a new OS version. (It would be a different story if there already was a release candidate of ML.) Yes, Apple COULD roll a special build of Lion, or even some weird Lion/ML hybrid. Or they could just release ML before or when machines with the new displays are ready. There are a lot of things Apple *COULD* do, but with ML just around the corner, I'd be shocked if we see the displays before the new OS. flavor posted:The Sandy Bridge MBPs also needed OS X additions in order to support the CPUs and Thunderbolt, so Apple just rolled a special version of Snow Leopard for their release before re-joining the branches with the next SL update. I don't see how that would be impossible for Ivy Bridge and retina displays.

I think all SSD sizes are kinda too small, so even with 768 GB I'd use an external HDD or network storage for many things. I also do a lot of work on airplanes, where space is at a premium. On that note, I'd love to hear some reviews of how the display works in Windows.

tuna posted:In case anyone is looking for sleeves, etc. for their new rMBP, I ordered an Incipio sleeve for my rMBP the other day and it arrived lastnight. They say it's for the rMBP but I'm fairly sure they're just the normal MBP sleeves on a slightly different page. It's not as snug as it should be but feels like it'll do a perfectly reasonable job of protecting it still. In my usage I'm putting it into a rucksack with a few other things in there that might scratch it, so it works fine for me until something better comes out. Trying to decide on a case for my rMBP (which doesn't arrive for a while.)

fleshweasel posted:It'll be amazing, although I don't see what's particularly technically difficult about applying the engineering of high density displays to larger sizes. Beyond that... - A 27 inch retina display has nearly 15 million pixels, and I haven't researched this, but I imagine the GPU needed to push that much doesn't exist yet. (For reference, this is 2.7x the number of pixels in the retina Mac Book Pro, which is itself quite taxing on its GPU.) - Not an issue with an iMac, but for external displays, I'm told Thunderbolt may not be able to push that much data at 60fps.
