Testing conducted by Apple in November and December 2022 using pre-production 16-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 Pro, 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 32GB of RAM and 8TB SSD. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 14.2 inches and 16.2 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less).ģ. The displays on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes actual formatted capacity less.Ģ.

It whined like a b*ch in HGC mode too.The displays on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. The HGC card set you back $500 at the time, equivalent to $1500 today, but fortunately some of the PC clones like mine came with a HGC clone built-in. If you wanted a “high resolution” display a popular upgrade was the Hercules Graphics Card (HGC) and compatible display brought you up to a whopping 720x348 monochrome. ![]() My original IBM PC clone had a color graphics card and was typically run in 320x200 pixel mode if you wanted to take advantage of having a whopping 4 colors. Whether it’s laced with marketing speak or doesn’t satisfy scientific scrutiny doesn’t really matter at this point because it’s such a massive improvement over what some of us started with and even the display technologies of the 90s and early 00s. Retina rocks. There is no turning back. Steve Jobs and Apple significantly raised our expectations with Retina for what we should consider to be the standard for comfortable and natural human interaction with computers and displays of every size. Thank you! Very informative and especially liked seeing all of the marketing terms explained in useful detail.Ī lot of current computing device users probably don’t appreciate just how far display technology has advanced in the past 40 or so years.
