I grew up with the Apple II in elementary school, of course, but my first “bought with my own money” Apple was actually a Power Macintosh G3, which I ordered in 1998 as much out of curiosity as need. I was a latecomer, in laptop terms, to what Apple was doing in the mobile space by the early 1990s with its first batch of PowerBooks. ( MORE: Apple Shows Off Air-Like MacBook Pro, iOS 6, Mountain Lion and More) Instead, it’s simply “the next generation MacBook Pro” or “MacBook Pro with Retina display,” a slender, MacBook Air-like 15.4-inch powerhouse with an unprecedented 2,880 x 1,880 pixel display and all the Pro-caliber luxury options.īut while you’re busy debating whether to drop $2,199 on one of these things (or more - over $3,500 if you’re feeling spendy!), how about a quick stroll down memory lane? Follow you’ve probably met the new MacBook Pro by now, which I suppose Apple could have called the “MBRetina” but wisely chose not to.
