Retina Stutter
Sorry I did not mention "Retina" in my post. I have had extensive experience with both the 13 & 15 rMPP models. They seem to perform identically in almost every aspect. Both have bad stutter issues on graphic intensive websites like TheVerge.com It is worst in the Chrome browser (my favorite) a little better in Safari but ironically when I run chrome in windows (I use Parallels) it runs perfect with everything I throw at it. In side to side comparisons the images seem identical. Does someone have a technical answer why windows is performing better than Mac in this situation?
Are you talking about the rMBP's or the uMBP's?
I've been using my 15" rMBP now for a few hours. BEAUTIFUL screen. Played around with a number of the screen resolutions and HiDPI and non. I think I like the 1680 x 1050 the most on this 15" screen.
I will say that I notice quite a bit of stuttering and it feels sluggish when using the HiDPI resolutions (any of them actually). I do not notice any of these sluggish effects though when in clamshell mode and connected to my external monitor which is at 1920 x 1080. Is this just the way it is with the Retina MacBooks? I don't get this at all with the other units in the house (11" MBA, 13" MBA, or 15" uMBP). It also goes away when in the non-HiDPI mode, but then what's the point?
