The build is a goddamn idealized MacBook. And there's a reason that most other laptop makers have been trying, with various degrees of success, to catch up with Apple's aesthetic for the past several years. It's not just the screen, though thATT#39;s the cent
The guts-based, pixel-chewing performance simply doesn't measure up. It's not just the graphics performance being too similar to a MacBook Air, or the minor but perceptible systemwide slowdown when you use a higher resolution setting. It's the way that yo
This is probably the best 13-inch laptop you can buy right now, for all the good itll do you. Sure, this computer makes some sense for a photographer or designer, but the 15-inch Retina offers almost all of the same benefits, plus a lot more if you can s...
Abstract: Go on, get your face closer to it. You know you want to. It's the first thing everyone does. Lie cheek down on the keyboard and press your nose to the glass if you like: the answer's still the same.No, you really can't see the pixels.It's the defining fac...
