Apple Releases 'Every Dimension' TV Commercial for Retina MacBook Pro

The last time Macs had a brand new design, was the third generation MacBook Air in October 2010.

Calm down

Too rich for my blood, but nice ad nonetheless.

Voiceover is Peter Coyote

I like how they show the machine doing real pro level work since that is their market.

Don't really care for the voice work though.

Peter Coyote (actor, author and counter-culture activist 60s hippie) has won an Emmy for narration for something or other a while back. He narrates a lot of documentaries and Apple's been using him for quite a while.

The retina screen costs Apple about 160 dollars. Ordinary screens costs about 60 dollars.

Apple can charge high price since there is no competition if you want a high resolution display.

And to the people who complain about the price: Remember the original Air? It was also expensive. It takes time to make tooling and parts cheap. Give it some time and we will see retina thru the entire Apple computer lines.

Not with a 13" at all.

Good points. It would be nice if there was at least an option for Retina across all Macbook lines. I guess we have something to look forward to next year

Quick question: Would they also need to add a dedicated graphics card to the Air and 13" Macbook Pros?

Or would the Intel 4000 series integrated chips handle Retina resolutions? And handle them well?

The link now points to a private video. Does YouTube block by region or is this happening for everyone?

Does anyone have any idea as to why Apple only released one of these models instead up just updating the whole MacBook Pro lineup to this new form factor and retina display? Does it have anything to do with price discrimination in order to get the most money out of it or did they actually have a reason for only releasing it in one 15" model?

Not sure may be there is engineering problem where the 13 inch is not powerful enough or getting very hot do to it so small. I'm sure a ratina screen is going to make more heat and use more power.


It is highly unlikely by next year the 13 inch will not be ratina screen .

Your personal research is flawed. You must be an analyst.

The availability just went from a few days to 2-3 weeks.

Of course that means nothing they could have had very few ready to ship at launch. If they only had 100,000 built the wait could go like that quickly. Its safe to say they didnt have 10 million of them shipping and the wait is that long anyway
