MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Teardown

[The Duke]

Curious about the new retina display from apple? Here is more detailed info on it ...

In case you missed it, we tore apart the new

MacBook Pro with Retina display

last week. Inside, we found a whole mess of pretty, yet difficult to access components. In fact, the MacBook Pro with Retina display earned our lowest repairability score ever, with 1 out of 10 points.What we didn't look at earlier, however, is the MacBook Pro's namesake: the Retina display. Apple claims that the Retina display in the MacBook Pro is the most stunning display to ever grace the lid of a notebook computer. "But at what cost?" we find ourselves asking. Being the repair-minded folks that we are, we feel that the only fair way to answer that question is to give this new display "the iFixit treatment": open it up and look! We may not be opthamologists, but we are excited to be doing surgery on a Retina display. Join us as we investigate the intricacies of Apple's most stunning display.Do you wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning in anticipation for iFixit's next teardown?

The new Mac Book Pro is the amazing device which has the retina display and also comes with many unique applications. It is good to hear that it is the highlighting feature but as you stated in the above post it looks like a failure. But it is the first device launched with the retina display and very excited.

My work PC is a 15 MBP with Retina display.

So far the team I am on (16) has had 3 of the new MBPs brick (New install required).

They do not ship with full resolution as an option.

That being said they are thin with a crazy battery life, the productivity is unparalleled in any other laptop I have used (2800x18000 is a LOT of space to work with).

Would I buy it for a personal machine? No, but it has been quite nice for work.

Not yet, but they are all under 2 months old. I have had random artifiacts every now and again, always fixed on reboot, and those issues may have more to do with custom settings.
