It can still convinceВ us with its sturdinessВ and the perfect build quality only the front edge of the case is somewhat sharp at the corners and was not reworkedВ for this version. The case is manufactured from a single piece of aluminum and this did not change compared to the first Retina model. Therefore, we will also use the Asus N550JKВ and evaluate the performance of the new Nvidia GeForce GT 850M.

We are talking about notebooks with graphics cards based on Nvidia's Kepler architecture, which was already replaced by the Maxwell architectureВ in March 2014, so there is probably going to be an update from Apple and other manufacturers soon. 300 Euros (~$408) cheaper than the Samsung is Acer's Aspire R7-571GВ that offers a high-quality IPS panel and multi-touch support.

Significantly less expensive is the Samsung ATIV Book 8В that uses a standard Full HD display, the similar GPU and an Intel Core i7-4700HQВ for 1,300 Euros (~$1769).

However, it has a higher-resolution touch display with 3200x1800 pixels. For starters, there is the Dell XPS 15 (Late 2013)В for around 2,060 Euros (~$2803), which is also equipped with an Nvidia GeForce GT 750MВ and a slightly less powerful Intel Core i7-4702В CPU. We will use notebooks from several price ranges for a comparison with the MacBook Pro Retina. Thanks to the combination of performance, a sturdy aluminum case and the comparatively low weight, it qualifies for multimedia purposes. Our review unit differs from the entry-level configuration with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 750MВ graphics card, twice the amount of flash storage (512 GB) and memory (16 GB) as well as a more powerful Intel Core i7-4850HQВ CPU clocked at 2.3 GHz. The cheapest MacBook from this series is currently available for around 2,000 Euros (~$2722), which is 300 Euros (~$408) less compared to the first Retina version from 2012.

However, fans of Mac OS and the Retina resolution can be happy about a positive price development.

The price for such a notebook is still very high. The first models with this IPS display had issues with ghosting, but that was fixed very quickly. Thanks to its pixel density of 220 DPI, the human eye could not see individual pixels. With the introduction of the Retina-series in 2012, which was equipped with an IPS panel and 2880x1800 pixels, Apple was the first company to integrate ultra high-resolution displays in this notebook category. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4ДЇor the original German review, see here.
