I hurried to buy my 17inch Macbook Pro for exactly that reason a week before it vanished from the apple university store. My resolution is NATIVE 1920x1200, which is better than the 1920x1200 you get on a Retina 15inch.


No, it's very clearly and visibly not, don't kid yourself. I have a 17" MBP and I compared them side by side.


For starters, no font problems AND a bigger screen real estate. Which are the two most important aspects to me as a programmer.


You can use an app to set the display to the native 2880x1800 resolution if you wanted to.
