The new Apple laptop out before it was ready for the industry. It's not just about the Internet. Case and in the iron - not all, but only in part occupied by the video signal processing. The fate of the video card and integrated video chip in this laptop does not envy, even overclocked for the PC. Every day and every second they have to handle the extreme amount of information, unprecedented mass-market computers.
Observers Portal had a tough test of a new laptop, and concluded: Apple squeezes everything "juice" from the "iron" busy processing the video. Integrated into the processor "card" Intel HD 4000 discrete solution and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M running nearly all its power to support a great novelty in the resolution - 2800 by 1800 pixels. At the same visual elements as a result of reduced 4 times before displaying on the screen. In fact, the efficiency of the GPU in such a scenario can be easily divided into four.
Such a resolution is not found on every machine - and this is not the limit for the Retina MacBook. In the minimum of the available menu "scope" screen, video cards have to process 3840 at 2400 pixels, and then reduce the image up to 1920 by 1200 pixels. Because of this, according to testers, the laptop sometimes hardly copes with the demands of traditional users. For example, in standard definition rendering speed effect "zoom" in OS X is clearly drops below 30 frames per second, and at even higher resolutions, even the system interface can be a bit "laggy".
At the same time Apple in no way to blame - that the iron-works at 100%. A paste is even more efficient chip the company now can not - or will donate thick, long battery life and the degree of heating of the laptop. The new version of OS X, Mountain Lion, should slightly reduce the load on the graphics by using new libraries of animation. All this is interesting, but during our tests, MacBook Pro Retina, we have not noticed any dips frames per second in both the system and the browser - though most of the time we have used Firefox with its beautifully smooth "scrolls." Time will tell how to go Apple: or "tighten the screws" on OS X, or simply close your eyes and a year later to release a new version of the notebook.
