Macbook Pro Retina vs. MacBook Air 2014 Top Killer Features: Retina Screen, New Dock and Display Technology
Apple's MacBook computers have gained a following over the years. As the market awaits the next refreshed line of laptops, it appears Apple will be pushing new variations. There is also new dock and display technology. According to recent reports, Apple will be releasing a Retina version of the MacBook Air along with a new set of MacBook Pros. What can people expect?
Analysts believe that there is a pressure on Apple to put more groundbreaking products as it lags behind competition. Companies like Sony and Lenovo has been aggressive with their laptop offerings including Asus and Samsung. In a supposed move to counter the competition for MacBook devices, Apple will reportedly provide a Retina transformation to its MacBook Air line.
Latino Post reported that since Apple already treated the MacBook Pro line with Retina, the company has to come up with other ways to enhance the flagship laptop. Apple Insider reported about a two-sided display patent under the company. The display will allow solar charging offering infinite battery life. There are also reports claiming that Apple may include the sapphire display technology on the laptops as well.
The new MacBooks will reportedly feature a new trackpad technology without the physical buttons. Likewise, a new dock system for Apple's device surfaced providing the usual products with an interesting twist. According to Henge Docks' website:
"Henge Docks has created the first truly comprehensive docking station solution for Apple's line of notebook computers."
