The new Macbook has a retina display similar to what is on the iPad and iPhone. Now, I like the display on my iPad and iPhone - so ... why are people not necessarily liking the retina display on the Macbook?
The article notes:
The OS X desktop is a considerably more complicated and varied environment than iOS, and early reports suggest early adopted might face a slightly uneven experience.
The complications arise, ironically, because of Apple's decision to hide the complications of a higher resolution from the user.
The result? Websites look great in Safari, but (as of this writing) highly pixellated in Chrome. And some games, for instance "Diablo III," let you select the highest resolution available, while others don't even detect it. And who can say what will happen with the myriad programs available for download all over the net, many of which don't have graphics teams to address these issues? For power users, it could be something of a minefield.
The article suggests (actually good advice) that using version 1 of a new product sometimes is a little rough - and while we all need version 1 of things, being on the 'leading edge' (or 'bleeding edge') sometimes means that not quite everything is perfect!!!
