Future MacBook Pro would have resolution of 2880 × 1800 pixels

And we begin again the round of rumors about future Apple products. I have not seen anyone from the specialized media speculating heavily on the iPhone 5. The MacBook Pro, on the other hand, are in serious danger of winning an absolutely fabulous display with a resolution - to be derived from a fable, it is worth explaining. According to DigiTimes, the next generation family of notebooks will have resolution of 2880 × 1800 pixels.


Just to contextualize how dense would be the resolution of the MacBook Pro (relying on the above site): nowadays the use Full HD 1920 × 1080 pixels.

Also according to DigiTimes, the new MacBook Pro family should appear in stores "in the second quarter of 2012." Until then, the site says, Apple has announced new specifications for panels (LCD / LED) required the electronic components industry. "The ultra-high resolution of the new MacBook Pro will differentiate the future of Apple products from other brands, sources commented."

A quick reference to the mother of the donkeys, I found an entry in Wikipedia with the most current standards for screen resolutions. The largest, dubbed QSXGA, has a width of 2560 pixels by 2480 pixels height. Only at the time it is greater than the super-resolution that Apple intends to adopt in the future. As I understand it, we're talking about a standard yet to be determined in the video industry and image. Type of thing that Apple could very well come up with on their own.

The current generation MacBook Pro has a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels in 17-inch model. I wonder which GPU would report on 2880 × 1800 pixels in alleged notebooks in the design phase.

The newspaper DigiTimes is based in China. He specializes in publishing accurate information among the Asian manufacturers of products that, under seal "Made in China" and the like, invade the West from time to time.
