Retina Display MacBook Pro? Take my credit card now please. While I for one didn’t expect one anytime soon, Digitimes is claiming we may see one as early as Q2 2012.
Apple is likely to launch its new MacBook Pro lineup with a display resolution of 2880 by 1800 in the second quarter of 2012, setting a new round of competition for panel specifications in the notebook industry, according to sources in the upstream supply chain.
2880×1800 is exactly double that of the current 15″ MacBook Pro which sizes in at 1440×900 and that would lead us to believe this magical Retina Display MacBook Pro would come in the 15″ flavor. With rumors of Apple bringing out a 15″ MacBook Air next year, this doesn’t sound too far fetched because it would separate the two 15″ models and allow for one to keep the ‘Pro’ name.
Earlier this year MacRumors reported that Intel’s Ivy Bridge Chipset (which is what we’ll see in the next-gen MacBook Pros) support resolutions up to 4096×4096 which adds a little more validity to the rumor.

Even with expectations of a Retina Display iPad coming in 2012 and as exciting a thought as a Retina Display MacBook Pro sounds, it’s still nothing but a rumor at this point so we’ll have to wait and as usually play the Apple guessing game. What do you guys think? Possible? or are we setting our geek sights to high?
