Half resolution is going to still be 1440x900, which is going to look just fine on a 15.4" screen for gaming.tipoo - Monday, June 11, 2012 - link
I expect games will run in scaling mode just like apps, that's the point of 2x scaling in each dimension, easy scaling.texasti89 - Monday, June 11, 2012 - link
1. The only think I appreciate from the new MacBook generation is the introduction of Retina Display to the notebook space. I hope this will push all other companies to adopt higher resolution laptop screens. I can't believe that we are in 2012 and there are still some companies in the US market selling Windows laptops with junk resolutions like 1366x768.
2. I agree with those commented on optical drives. WE LIVE IN DAWN of the golden age of semiconductor industry. A computer should not have any mechanical component anymore except for cooling purposes. Let this old technology die already.

I think they should remove mechanical cooling as well in favor of that liquid metal stuff some guy named Cameron was advertising back in the 90's. Looked pretty cool.
