Apple's (AAPL) favorite reviewer -- the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg -- appears to be out of pocket, but dispatches from the rest of the tech press are coming in. For some reason, many begin by posing questions: Does the MacBook Pro with Retina display live up to expectations? Does it create a new product category? Is it worth the price? Where does it leave the rest of the industry?
For the answers, you have to read on.
The New York Times' David Pogue: A Point Shy of Perfect. "The new Apple laptop that went on sale Monday hits an impressive number of [his dream laptop] high notes in one radical swoop. As you might guess, the one it misses by the biggest margin is "inexpensive." Then again, the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is intended for professionals — photographers, video editors, musicians and other people whose laptop is the heart of everyday work. If they can scrounge up $2,200 (for the base model) to $3,750 (for the died-and-gone-to-heaven model), they'll be well rewarded."
MacWorld's Jason Snell: Hands on with the Retina MacBook Pro. (in advance of the full review): "First off, this disclaimer: I've been using an 11-inch MacBook Air for so long now, it's very hard for me to judge a 15-inch laptop. It feels enormous to me. But fans of the current 15-inch MacBook Pro will notice that this new laptop is actually quite a bit thinner than the current model, a bit lighter, and slightly narrower."
The Verge's Ross Miller: Does it live up to great expectations? "If you're in the market for a premium OS X laptop right now, it's hard not to recommend the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. If, however, power isn't your ultimate goal, may we suggest shaving a few pounds and specs for the MacBook Air. As for everything in between, those non-Retina "standard" MacBook Pros, well... the writing's on the wall. And of course, it doesn't hurt to be even a little bit patient and wait for more apps to push Retina-optimized updates — if you get the MacBook Pro with Retina display now, you'll be waiting on the world to change."
Engadget's Tim Stevens: Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display review. "So, then, is this a laptop that's creating its own new product category? Not exactly. This is a laptop that stands poised to kill an existing one, one that Apple has dominated. The new Pro is good enough to make the old Pro (even the updated version) look and feel obsolete. It pushes and redefines the category, raising the bar higher than even its brethren can jump. If you can afford the premium and aren't set on a 13-inch model there's no reason to buy any Pro other than this Pro."
Laptop Magazine's Mark Spoonauer: Editor's Choice. "Just when the laptop competition thinks it's closing in on Apple, the company launches a new product that raises the bar for the entire industry. For the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, it's the screen -- all 2880 x 1800 pixels of it -- that will leave others scrambling to play catch-up. Of course, to push that many pixels you need serious horsepower. And the next-gen MacBook Pro (starting at $2,199) delivers just that with a quad-core Core i7 processor, Nvidia Kepler graphics and super-fast flash memory. Did we mention the MacBook Pro is only 4.5 pounds and is nearly as thin as the Air? Yeah, it's almost not fair."
Fortune.com's JP Mangalindan: 4 things to know about the new MacBook Pro. No. 4: "Heating isn't a problem (yet). As the owner of last year's 13-inch MacBook Air with a 1.8 GHz i7 processor, I've found the laptop can run hot under duress -- high-definition video playback, multiple apps open -- sometimes causing the fan to loudly kick in. The new MacBook Pro features a new "asymmetric fan," with small vents on either side of the notebook's bottom, which the company says encourages quieter day-to-day operations. It's too early to pass final judgment, but we will say we've never heard it whir as it does in the MacBook Air when performing the same tasks."
ComputerWorld's Ian Paul: Retina MacBook Pro vs. PC Laptops: Who Wins? "For the moment, this next-generation laptop is not going to appeal to the current generation of laptop buyers - be it PC or Apple. The base model alone for the new MBP is priced at $2200 for just 256GB of hard drive space and a quad-core 2.3 GHz Core i7 processor. Compare that to the $1500 Asus G75VW gaming laptop featuring the same processor, six times the storage space (hard drive, not flash), and a 17-inch screen with 1920-by-1080 resolution."
CNET's Dan Ackerman: Editors' Top Picks. The good: The unprecedented high-resolution screen on the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display makes images -- even simple text -- look beautifully clear. Despite a redesigned, lightweight body, the powerful components, including an Nvidia GPU, compare well to recent high-end desktop replacements. Overdue new ports, including USB 3.0 and HDMI, are welcome. The bad: With a $2,199 entry-level price tag, the MacBook Pro with Retina Display costs more than the typical American mortgage. The lack of onboard Ethernet jack, FireWire, or an optical drive can be inconvenient at times. Despite being thinner and lighter, it's not as travel-friendly as a true ultrabook or MacBook Air. The bottom line: The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed.

苹果(Apple)最忠实的评测家——《华尔街日报》(Wall Street Journal)的沃尔特•莫斯博格似乎有些手头吃紧,不过,其余科技媒体的评测报告正接踵而至。由于某种原因,许多文章都以同样的问题开头——视网膜版MacBook Pro是否不负众望?是否创建了新的产品类别?是否物有所值?它将对其竞争对手造成怎样的影响? 欲知答案,请阅读下面的章节。 《纽约时报》:离完美只差一步 “新款苹果电脑即将于周一正式开售,它在很多方面的表现都相当出色,(可谓是一款众人梦寐以求的笔记本)。不过,也许你能猜到,这款笔记本最为突出的缺点是‘价格有点高’。其次,配备了视网膜显示屏的15寸MacBook Pro是为摄影师、视频编辑、音乐家等以笔记本为工作中心的专业人士准备的。如果他们能想法设法弄到2200美元(标配版)或3750美元(旗舰版),那么一定能获得很好的回报。” MacWorld:亲手体验视网膜版MacBook Pro 首先,在此声明:我一直在使用11寸的MacBook Air,所以,我很难正确评价这款15英寸的笔记本。对于我来说,它太大了。不过,15寸版MacBook Pro的粉丝们将会发现,这款新笔记本确实比目前的产品要薄一点,重量也更轻,而且,变得窄了一些。 科技博客The Verge:它是否不负众望? “如果你现在想在市面上寻找一款OS X高级版笔记本,那么我们很难不去推荐新款视网膜版MacBook Pro。不过,如果你的终极目标不是性能的话,我们也许会建议重量更轻,但性能也会有所下降的MacBook Air。如果你想要中间选择,那么非视网膜显示器的‘标准版’MacBook Pro也许能胜任,虽然它可能即将退市了。当然,如果你现在就入手配备视网膜显示器的MacBook Pro,那么耐心等待更多应用程序增加对视网膜高清显示的支持也是无法避免的,你必须要等着整个业界发生变化。” | Apple's (AAPL) favorite reviewer -- the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg -- appears to be out of pocket, but dispatches from the rest of the tech press are coming in.

科技博客Engadget:评测配备视网膜显示器的苹果MacBook Pro “这款笔记本是否创建了新的产品类别?不完全是。这款笔记本将淘汰一个现有的产品类别,一个此前由苹果主宰的类别。新款Pro非常棒,足以让其它老款Pro(即便是升级版的MacBook Pro)无地自容,黯然失色。它提升并重新定义了MacBook Pro,使其到达了一个新高度,即便是苹果的其它笔记本也难以望其项背。如果你买得起这款产品,而且又对13寸笔记本不感冒,那么新款MacBook Pro一定是你不二的选择。” 笔记本电脑杂志:编辑推荐 “正当其它笔记本制造商认为自己已接近苹果时,新款MacBook Pro横空出世,为整个业界树立了新标杆。对于新款视网膜版MacBook Pro,其显示器分辨率高达2880 x 1800像素,这无疑将成为其它厂商竞相追赶的对象。当然,要显示如此多的像素离不开强大的性能。下一代MacBook Pro(起价为2199美元)配备了四核i7处理器,英伟达(Nvidia)开普勒图形显示芯片和超高速闪存。我们是否提到MacBook Pro仅重4.5磅(约2千克——译注),和Air差不多薄?对头,这真是太不公平了。” Fortune.com:新款MacBook Pro的四个特点 “散热(暂时)不成问题。去年发布的MacBook Air搭载了一颗1.8GHz的处理器,结果我发现当回放高清视频或打开多个应用程序时,笔记本会非常热,经常导致风扇嗡嗡轰鸣。新款MacBook Pro采用了一项名为“不对称风扇” 的新技术——在笔记本底部两侧都布有小气孔。苹果表示,该技术将使日常运行的噪音更低。现在就对其下结论还为时尚早,不过,在我们用MacBook Pro运行之前MacBook Air所进行的操作时,并未听到任何轰鸣声。” 计算机世界:视网膜版MacBook Pro 与.PC笔记本谁更胜一筹? 目前来看,下一代MacBook Pro不大可能吸引到现在的笔记本用户——不论是PC还是苹果的用户。标配版新款MacBook Pro的售价为2200美元,其配置仅为256GB硬盘空间、2.3 GHz的四核i7处理器。而华硕G75VW仅售1500美元,处理器和前者一样,存储空间则是前者6倍(是硬盘,不是闪存),还配有一款1920 x 1080分辨率的17寸显示器。” CNET:编辑首选 优点:MacBook Pro的视网膜显示器拥有史无前例的超高分辨率,图像——甚至文本的显示效果都清晰无比。虽然经过重新设计的笔记本非常轻巧,但其拥有英伟达图形处理器等众多高性能配件,可以完全取代最新的高端台式机。姗姗来迟的USB3.0和HDMI等新接口同样值得称道。缺点:起始价为2199美元,视网膜MacBook Pro的价格超过了美国一般个人信贷的额度。缺少以太网接口、火线和光驱,这在有时候颇为不便。虽然更为轻薄,但与真正的超级本或是MacBook Air相比,新款MacBook Pro仍然不适合旅行携带。结论:全新设计的视网膜版MacBook Pro将令人惊艳的屏幕和恰到好处的MacBook Air设计相结合,给人的感觉像是一款新产品,它是目前最好的MacBook。 译者:项航 | Engadget's Tim Stevens: Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display review.
