I played with the Retina MBP (it's getting boring typing that, what's the short name for this thing? R-MBP, RMBP, MBP-R...?!) for the first time at lunch today - I have to say the screen sells itself. I played with the scaling options and viewed MS Word, Excel and thought they looked ok - the icons within these apps look blocky, but text was fine (to me). PDFs and web page text in Safari was amazingly sharp though. Still unknown what it'll be like to RDP onto a Windows machine though, or whether you'll constantly keep having to switch scaling options.
But, now looking at the poor icons along my Windows 7 task bar, makes me realize how fuzzy they are. Not sure if anyone is running Xcode or Monodevelop on one yet, as I'm assuming the text within the IDEs should look good anyway (but icons will look bad until they update them). I was more impressed by the slimness and weight of it though - it's felt surprisingly light, probably because the weight is spread over a bigger footprint compared to the Air. -- View this message in context: http://monotouch.2284126.n4.nabble.com/New-Macbook-2012-range-and-development-tp4655329p4655473.html Sent from the MonoTouch mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MonoTouch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monotouch
