Mac-programs were not ready to run on the Retina-screen MacBook Pro

MacBook Pro with the display Retina , presented at the conference WWDC, of course, is a major breakthrough in the industry of portable computers. Screen resolution of 2880 × 1800 pixels with 15-inch diagonal - so far inaccessible to competitors index.

But as you know, update the hardware part of any electronic device should be supported by appropriate updates to the software. And, of course, to prepare for the Retina once the entire ecosystem OS X Cupertino Company did not have time, says Anandtech.

Where iOS automatically displays many elements of the interface in the resolution of Retina, OS X does not always cope. In particular, the world's most popular web browser Google Chrome to work on the new MacBook Pro is not ready: almost all of its interface looks blurry. This is especially noticeable when compared with the standard browser Safari. The same is true for the Steam client and the Kindle. In general, most Mac-software could not cope with the task (with clear information on the Retina), indicates the edition.

Of course, the identified problem will be solved soon. However, if its just ordered a MacBook Pro Retina you find a discrepancy between the quality of an application needs super fine computer display, you'll have to wait until the developers release a new version.

Of course, you can experiment with the settings to scale. Operating system OS X Mountain Lion can quickly change the resolution, setting up at the request of clarity and image sizes, and in contrast to the present numerical notation is switching between the five settings.

Apple has enhanced Mac Pro workstations

Simultaneously with the start of WWDC 2012 developer conference and the announcement of iOS 6 , OS X Mountain Lion , and updated MacBook line of notebooks, Apple introduced new models of professional desktop Mac Pro.

First, unlike the iOS 6, the new MacBook and several other new products, the updated Mac Pro for some reason does not have the honor to be represented on the stage WWDC, moreover, even a formal press release on the occasion of these updates are not followed. Second, the new building, which users were wondering, there is also no. In addition the company for quite some reason did not use the new processors Xeon e5-2600 for the Mac Pro, giving preference to the previous generation Xeon chips, and left the unit without the ports USB 3.0, which were all new models in the MacBook.

According to the company's updated product line, Mac Pro is now available in three configurations: two standard and one server, since it comes with the server version of Mac OS X Server.

Two standard versions are equipped with a Mac Pro 3.2 GHz processor Xeon W3565, supporting technology TurboBoost, overclockable chips up to 3.46 GHz. With support for Hyper-Threading processors have up to 8 virtual cores and 8MB of cache memory. In the U.S., this model costs $ 2,499. For the same amount the company has 6 GB RAM DDR3 1066 MHz and a 1-terabyte hard drive at 7200 rev / min.

There is also a more advanced model for $ 3799. It is based on Xeon E5645 with six cores and a frequency of 2.4 GHz (up to 2.67 GHz when connected TurboBoost). This chip has 24 virtual cores and 12MB of cache memory. In addition, this model comes with 12 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM memory, and the same terabyte hard drive.

Both models come with a graphics card AMD Radeon HD 5770, have ports and Mini Display Port Dual DVI-port.

The third model is made by Apple under the order. It is positioned as a server solution, and works primarily on the basis of a server OS Mac OS X Server with chips Xeon W3565. For the extra money can be set here, and other processors, for example, two 2.66 gigahertz, or 3.06-GHz Xeon. Also, Mac Pro Server has a default 8 GB of RAM, the server OS X c a minimal set of client licenses. For sale is a solution at a price of $ 2999.

Members rightly point out that the updated Mac Pro undertaken has been done, probably for show. As if Apple itself does not understand what to do with the most powerful computers Mac, which were once its flagship product line. It would be logical to assume that the company, once decided on the use of "iron" of the previous generation, at least lower the prices of these desktops. But here, alas - the prices have remained unchanged.
