Computerworld - Apple CEO Tim Cook and a trio of top executives took the stagetoday at the company's annual developers conference to outline thenew iOS 6, talk up this year's Mountain Lion upgrade for OS X andunveil a new MacBook Pro laptop with a high-resolution "Retina"display. "The products we make combined with the apps that you create, canfundamentally change the world," said Cook near the end of thekeynote. "Really, I can't think of a better reason to get up in themorning." As expected, Monday's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)keynote focused on software -- the venue, after all, was fordevelopers who build apps and applications for the iOS mobileoperating system and OS X on the desktop -- but it also included alarge dose of hardware. Apple refreshed its notebooks today, revamping both its existingMacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines but more importantly, introducinga new model in the latter, which the company's head of marketing,Philip Schiller, dubbed "next generation MacBook Pro." "The next generation MacBook Pro is the most beautiful computerwe've ever made," said Schiller, who walked attendees through thehardware refresh part of the keynote. "It's dominated by anamazing, magnificent new display." As many pundits had expected, the new MacBook Pro features a higherresolution screen than its predecessors. Schiller called it a"Retina" display, the term Apple uses to describe the pixel-densescreens on its iPhone and iPad. The 15-in. display provides a resolution of 2880 x 1880 pixels, orapproximately 220 pixels per inch (ppi). The total number of pixelsis four times that of existing MacBook Pros. "This is the world's highest-resolution notebook display," Schillerclaimed. The next generation MacBook Pro comes stock with a quad-corethird-generation Intel processor, the architecture code-named "IvyBridge;" Nvidia's newest graphics processor, called "Kepler" butofficially designated the GeForce GT 650M; and can be ordered withas much as 768GB of flash-based storage. The form factor is reminiscent of the MacBook Air, but somewhatthicker, and at 4.5-lbs., heavier. It ships with Lion and severalApple-made apps, including Mail and Safari, that have been updatedto show off the higher resolution. Prices start at $2,199 with a 2.3GHz quad-core i7 CPU, 8GB ofmemory and 256GB of space on the flash memory-based SSD(solid-state drive). The new model is available today. "This will bring a lot of excitement back to the personalcomputer," said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology BusinessResearch, in a Monday interview. "It puts new life, actuallybuckets of life, into their $2,000-plus tier, which has been prettymoribund of late.
