Now, five months on, the second laptop with a Retina display is available, but does the success continue?

Apple uses this to show what it can achieve, and what is in store for the future. "The MacBook Pro with Retina display is comparable to Apple’s MacBook Air from 2008. "Once again, Apple has developed a machine that's both beautifully designed, technologically advanced and expensive enough to be considered only by those who have to have the best of the best.
