Apple's coveted Retina display has finally found its way to a full-size notebook courtesy of the latest MacBook Pro. But anyone familiar with this new system knows that Apple didn't simply add a higher resolution display to the standard MacBook Pro frame. Instead, there's an entirely reworked chassis that's nearly as thin as the MacBook Air and weighs more than a pound less than the standard Pro.

Customers can also configure a Retina system with up to 16GB of RAM and 768GB of flash storage, versus a maximum of 8GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage on a standard Pro. But hey, who are we kidding, the only reason that most people are going to dish over the extra cash for Apple's latest and greatest is the 2880 x 1800 resolution goodness of the Retina display. And I'll go ahead and let you in a little secret: it's a thing of beauty.
