Lag in Retina

micke1967 · Jan 17, 2013

Hi Im lookin into buying a mac book pro retina 15
But have seen and heard that there might be issues with surfing certain websites.
For example Facebook should be reallly much lagg....
Is that still the case or have theese issues been solved??

Are there any other issues thats usual with these machines??
best regards micael

I have a 13" rMBP and don't think you'll notice an issue. I'm not saying you won't be able to detect any differences if you have two notebooks side by side and run tests, but in everyday usage it isn't that noticeable.

I have the 15" retina and do not have lack on Facebook and other sides.
If you want to be on the good side get an adblock and clicktoflash extension and you will have removed all the things there might cause lag

use webkit nightly builds. the only things you will miss is iCloud tabs but its the same as safari.

I've not noticed any lag on any sites including Facebook.

I've only had mine for a week and a half, so far I've had no lag (I am using the webkit nightlies).

I have both retinas, no lag on either one that I can detect.
