The mother of all laptops is here and her name is Macbook Pro with Retina Display..

Ok so the name doesn't scream, LOOK AT ME I"M ONE SEXY BEAST, but the look and specs on this computer are just awesome.  When Apple announced this product today they basically said hey guys look what we are capable of.  Now granted this sucker is uber expensive starting at over $2,000.  Yikes! That is a lot of money but you are getting early dibs on a computer that in two or three years will be the standard for all laptops.

First thing first this bad boy has a full retina display coming in at 2800 x 1800 resolution at 220 ppi.  To put this in perspective the current Macbook Pro's measure up at a 1440 x 900 resolution.  That is a huge difference.  Now add that to the Nvidia's Kepler GeForce 650 M video card and you have one beast of a graphics powerhouse.

The other really nice specs:  a Quad Core 2.7 GHz i7 ivy bridge processor 8 gigs of ram (expandable to 16 gigs) and a 256 gig SSD hard drive (expandable to 768 gigs, SAY WHAT!!!) To round it out, it comes with two thunderbolt ports, hdmi, usb 3.0, and MageSafe 2 adapter.
This is one powerful laptop, definitely a powerhouse for gamers and graphic professionals alike.  As if that wasn't enough Intel introduced in these macbook's the turboboost option for their i series processors.  Tubo boost allows the processor to over-clock itself and increase your processor speed by almost 1 GHz if it feels like you need the power, then automatically re-clock itself back down to acceptable levels for less strenuous activities.  

To show you how far Apple goes into each and every detail of it's products they even spent lots of man hours getting the fan placement just right in order to make an even and very quiet cooling system for this powerhouse.

All in all this is just one amazing laptop with Apple flexing it's muscles for good measure.  To bad I would have to sell my kidney to get one.  Maybe one day, I have a bad one anyway...  Might as well sell it while its worth something right?
