retina resolution...

[N-Y]

Is there a way to use higher res on retina macbook pro... i think i read that the computer doesn't come with option of using the full resolution of 2880-by-1800.... you need a workaround to do that... but is there also a way to get 1920 by 1200, 1680 by 1050?

The two resolutions you mentioned are both supported by OSX in the Retina models.

Yes, go into Display preferences and use a scaling mode.
