Bill Report post Posted June 13, 2012 I don't understand....what's the point of having retina display but we still cannot watch blue ray DVDs in a Mac. Mac needs to step up since PC's have had blue ray capabilities for years now!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac needs to step up since PC's have had blue ray capabilities for years now!! It's licensing problem with Sony who owns blu ray. I think they think streaming will surpass the need for any media soon enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprite Report post Posted June 13, 2012 http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro...2/#.T9kK4FFqcYw Apple's new MBP dubbed "the least repairable laptop [ever]" by iFixit. It uses soldered RAM, a non-standard SSD, and a fused display unit. Say goodbye to cheap repairs/upgrades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted June 13, 2012 What applications are you using where you would need a 27" screen with 2880 x 1800 resolution? Because I could! 27" for multiple windows and screens up. Video and photo editing plus some music creation. And of course HD porn!

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a SSD have a limited number of read/write cycles? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickSimmons Report post Posted June 14, 2012 Sounds about right. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a SSD have a limited number of read/write cycles? Yes, but it's highly unlikely that a consumer would reach the point in which the SSD can no longer function properly. You'd probably have bought a new computer before your SSD failed. Enterprise solution typically will last much longer, though they are considerably more expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilligan740 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 What applications are you using where you would need a 27" screen with 2880 x 1800 resolution? We have all 27" iMacs in my office and they're great. We use them primarily for video editing but the multitasking abilities that 27" of screen real estate allows are also quite nice.

Yeah, I don't think it has much to do with licensing the technology from Sony. Apple just doesn't believe in physical media anymore and they're leading the charge to phase it out. There isn't any software in their retail stores anymore, for example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any updates coming soon. Probably right after I buy it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
