I don't see why would you want to reduce your display resolution on a MacBook. And even if I wanted for some reason, I'd only accept resolutions that are exactly four times smaller in area (that way, pixels just need to double, and there's no annoying stretching problem). Which is why I think this display should have a 2560x1600 resolution.

More space FTW!
OH, that's what you meant, I thought you meant you would run the screen at a lower resolution, my bad.MacBook's display is scaled by default to 1280x800 and there's an option for 1440x900 for more space. The built-in OS X scaling works very well and things aren't blurry or stretched if that's what you mean. At the native resolution text and buttons would be too small to interact with.
I go 2304x1440 whenever I'm working on particular apps or websites
Running at max (1440x900), everything else (websites, etc) are viewed at 100%, no problems and it's how I like it.
If I could run it at 1650x1080 without having to use any extra software, I would.
How do you set it to that without having to manually do it for every webpage?1440/900 then set webpages to 110-125%

Ah ok thanks!I use Chrome so you can just set the default zoom in preferences.
If you use Safari then you can create a custom style sheet. There are tutorials on Google to do that.
The quality of the text also just looks worse on anything but 1280x800, almost loses the retina appeal1280x800 for me. I had it on 1440/900 but decided everything was just a little too small for my tastes. It'd be interesting to try the 110-125% zoom on the browser on 1440/900 mentioned above, however I really am happy with 1280x800 overall.
I primarily use the rMB as my leisure machine while I typically do my office work on my MBP. If I used it more something more complex, I'd likely use the 1440x900 res.
