Apple announces next-generation MacBook Pro with Retina display

Apple has announced what it calls a “next-generation” MacBook Pro, with a Retina display. It goes along the rest of the MacBook line, but Apple is looking foward with this model: removing the optical drive to enable a laptop that’s only 0.71 inches thick. The premiere feature, however, is clearly the Retina display, which packs a 2880 x 1800 pixels into 15.4-inch screen, which adds up to 220 ppi. The new MacBook weighs under 4.5 lbs, making it the lightest Pro laptop Apple has ever produced.

The new MacBook is shipping today, starting at $2,199 for a model with a 2.3GHz quad-core i7, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.
