there’s no TRIM for SSD RAID. You do not want to put them in RAID 0.

Would be a good step to have those higher resolutions BUT just as importantly or perhaps even more importantly would like them to get the ‘Frame-Rates’ up to speed when running games and 3D intensive applications. At present frame-rates constantly suffer abysmally with half decent ‘detail’ settings, this often leaves you having to set most all the detail sliders to low if running at your display’s top resolution and if you have the Thunderbolt Display attached running at its maximum resolution, then one is left expediency a very nauseous ‘strobe-like’ frame rate.

You’re missing the point. The smaller the screen, the easier it is to densely pack pixels into it. A 17-inch screen at 200ppi is equally as (if not more) amazing than 326ppi on a 3.5 inch screen.

Apple and powerful GPU not happening, sadly Apple always creeps behind the competition when it comes to GPU and gaming performance (especially without Direct X support) If you want to use a productive system Macs are great, if you want to play mainly video games grab an Asus ROG.

with a resolution like that, i just wonder what kind of GPU it will use. hopefully is something powerful, powerful enough to play battlefield3 at ultra settings!

For the 15″ MBP, it’s exactly the right resolution. The current res is 1440×900 and 2880×1800 is your basic DPI doubling. Existing apps that aren’t designed for the 2x res will simply be pixel doubled and won’t appear any worse.

This has been speculated for a long time now.

So there it is… in 2012 this transition will begin. Using a legacy 72ppi shouldn’t be that messy right?

Doubt it’s the actual resolution. Mac display is always 72ppi vs 96ppi on the PC. Never trust anything they say. More lies.

It’s about time, this is the first upgrade in resolution for screen resolution for over 10 years.

2880 x 1800 resolution would bring the 13-inch MBP
to a crazy 261ppi, while the 15-inch would be 226ppi and the 17-inch
would be 200ppi.It isn’t all that crazy, if you ask me. The Iphone 4 does 326ppi. It’s about time PC screens get a upgrade if you ask me.
