Readers know that this site favors the Apple Mac Pro for serious work (which has not changed), BUT the new MacBook Pro Retina offers a compelling choice for many users, if only for its Retina display and fast CPU. Following on the heels of Apple’s already-excellent quad-core 2011 Macbook Pro, it offers a terrific blend of new features at the right time. The June 2012 MacBook Pro quad-core Intel Core i7 with Retina Display is easily the most compelling laptop for photographs and videographers ever produced by Apple. Update: the late 2013 'Crystal Well' model is a definite performance upgrade over the 2012 model.
