Apple buys their stuff from the usual suspects. But they're better at hammering on them than the other players. And doing themselves what their vendors are not up to.
Witness the new MacBook Pro with the Retina Display. Given a 2880x1800 display resolution, how do we display it on a normal 1440x900 15" laptop and realize the superior sharpness without screwing up all the existing software? Very cool! I hope it's not the last of the Jobs product pipeline.
Yes, and it all can be had for four times the price of the laptop I bought my wife a few months ago.
No thanks, I’m off the Apple train as soon as this MacBook Pro breaths its last breath - too pricey for what you get.
