Their "professional workstation" is just catching up to the 5770... so that just goes to prove my theory that with Apple you pay three times as much for last year's hardware.

Unless you buy it the year it actually comes out.

I'd appreciate it if companies consolidated on a standard. Either choose 16:10, 16:9 or whatever. Just stick with one, please.

I like it when i hear it, but when i think of the reality i think isn't that resolution a bit overrated for 15"/17" Screens?
Also retina(IPS Panel) are power hogs so that will have an adverse effect on the battery too.
Since its Apple, i think they will definitely throw in a beefy Graphics card to support the resolution and crispy display.

I've been waiting for flat panel tech to get better since I got my first one.

In the late 1990's we had 2048x1536 16m color monitors. 20 years later we have 2560x1600 monitors.

20 years ago we could put the refresh rates very high. Now we're hunting for monitors with grey-to-grey timings that aren't too bad. They need to up the 60Hz refresh rate. If the screen is black and a white circle is shown for 1/200th of a second on a 200Hz screen then we see it.

I only want higher res/refresh rates for gaming and graphics work. For normal office stuff extra screens are fine.

The very people who downrated me for my original post will be the ones moaning about the eventual price. Personally, I simply cannot wait for the QQ.

[citation][nom]woshitudou[/nom]This is why I like Apple, they push things ahead while everyone else is happy selling us the same sh*t over and over.[/citation]
In terms of screen technology, mobile GPU power and battery life, yes, Sadly, the laptop side doesn't seem to get all this goodness, though for the prices you'd be forgiven for thinking it should. Also, let's not forget how long Apple was content to sell us Core 2 systems when Nehalem-based CPUs had been out a good few months, or the super-fast GPUs that were anything but.

Ok...in which was the 5770 ever supposed to be a professional workstation graphics card?
