Even if you're not a huge fan of Macintosh computers, you do have to admit they look really great, and the picture quality is quite good.  And this latest addition will set new standards upon which to base future products.  Fresh off the assembly line, the new Apple MacBook pro has been tweaked and suped up for optimum visual quality and performance.  Boasting a resolution of 2,880x1,800 pixels, a never-before-seen resolution for laptops, and of course the retina scanner that I previously mentioned, Apple will probably be happy with the profits they're sure to rake in from this MacBook.

"Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) executives took the stage at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) Monday to unveil a slew of new hardware and software, including a new MacBook Pro with a Retina Display, as well new information about the upcoming iOS 6 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion operating system.

'The MacBook Pro is the centerpiece of the event for obvious reasons -- the hardware, the display. It's a phenomenal piece of power with a very elegant design,' Danielle Levitas, a group vice president at IDC, told MacNewsWorld. 'But what has the broadest impact and reach in terms of its impact on the market, individuals and the masses is iOS 6.'

From the point of revenue generation and excitement, the iOS 6 announcements were the most important, said Carl Howe, vice president, data sciences research at the Yankee Group. 'Given that mobile devices now account more than three-quarters of Apple's revenue, these announcements had to be center stage, and they were.'

However, the next-generation MacBook Pro was the most important announcement 'from a sexiness point of view,' Howe told MacNewsWorld. 'Apple gave mobile professionals of all stripes a justifiable argument to buy, or request their company to buy, a new Apple laptop. That machine [has] literally no competition today, nor is it likely to get any for at least 12 months.'"
