This gives best graphics performance too, since the maths to scale the screen is easier than when interpolating to, say, 1680 x 1050 for that same MacBook Pro. For all other Retina Macs we’ve seen, the default interface setting looks like one scaled back to half in each axis: a 2880 x 1800-pixel 15-inch MacBook Pro, for instance, is set to look like 1440 x 900 pixels. Retina-screened Mac, the default resolution setting for this model is not actually the true Retina mode for pixel doubling. And the top surface has the same microns-thick anti-reflective optical coating to reduce glare from the screen’s shiny glass surface.

Like the displays in the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the iPad Air, it has its front glass bonded to the LCD, reducing thickness and air gaps that worsen reflectivity. The MacBook screen now joins the Retina class, a 2304 x 1440 panel using IPS technology to give decent colour coverage, contrast ratio and wide viewing angles.

Ultimately though it’s how well you can type, and here we did find a steeper learning curve than expected to get up to higher speed touch typing.Ī neat touch we did appreciate was the tidying of legends on those key caps, specifically the modifier keys of Control, Alt and Command. The keyboard is not too dissimilar in feel to that available for the aforementioned Surface Pro tablet, albeit with a classier, precise feel.

We tested a sample in Space Grey, to our eyes a serious and sophisticated finish in metallic charcoal, anodised evenly across all surfaces.

Three colours are available for the MacBook, a telling reminder that it’s not just OS X and iOS software that is converging – now we have Mac hardware available in iPhone and iPad livery. When shut close, it put me in mind of the iPad, and is just as easy to tote around. It impresses with its sub-miniature proportions, like a ‘normal’ Apple notebook but after a short zap by the incredible shrinking raygun, to bring it to a very slender thinness of 13.4 mm and low weight of 923 g.
