Apple is planning to launch a new MacBook Pro with a 2880 x 1800 resolution, according to a report.
Digitimes claims that its sources in Apple's upstream supply chain say that the new, ultra-high resolution MacBook Pro is coming in the second quarter of 2012.
At the moment, the 17in MacBook Pro comes with a 1920 x 1200 display, the 15in model with a choice of 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 display, and the 13in model has a 1280 x 800 display.
The report doesn't say what screen size the new model will have.
Apple is reportedly set to expand the MacBook Air line-up with a 15in model early next year, according to sources in Apple's supply chain.

You do of course realise that if you were to put a retina display on a Macbook [just over 300ppi] 2880x1800ppi would come out at approx 9.6x6" or in other words an 11" diagonal display.

Would this be readable? I'm partially sighted as it is.
