MacBook Pro Retina is stunning

My youngest daughter is a network engineer at LinkedIn with lots of geek friends the have the very latest in computer gear. Last night a friend from Google showed up with a MBP with the new Retina display. He's in the beginning stages of photography addiction and showed her some of his hi rez images zoomed in. She said it blew her away. The screen is bright and the colors "seemed" accurate.

I just bought a powerful Lenovo laptop, but the screen is really just an afterthought. I only use it for emergency image processing. After a recent trip to Florida, I reprocessed all my images because I'd made them too warm with the Lenovo's cool colored screen, which I can't seem to calibrate accurately.

The Apple is mega-expensive, but someone seriously into photography and image processing might consider one for their next laptop. Of course all the best processing software is Windows-centric, but you can solve that by running two OS on the MBP.
