Some owners of Apple's new Retina MacBook Pro are finding that instead of a smooth interaction with the OS X interface, the systems display relatively choppy behavior and may be slow to respond with moving windows, scrolling, and using Expose among other similar tasks. This problem seems to happen primarily when using Safari, Mail, and Mission Control features, but it also occurs in other programs.
Since the debut of the Retina MacBook Pro there has been some discussion over whether the system's hardware is capable of handling the computational throughput required by the Retina Display. In a recent review of the MacBook's performance, AnandTech outlined a notable decrease in interface performance for some applications, noting that ultimately Apple may simply be pushing the limits of current hardware capabilities with the new MacBook Pro.
It may be easy enough to claim Apple has a hardware limit it has run into with the MacBook Pro; however, the poor performance is not being shared by everyone using the systems. Some of those who have noted laggy performance on their systems have not seen the same lag on others, indicating that the problem has factors other than being simply a hardware limitation. Furthering this notion, some who have formatted their systems and set up OS X ag... [Read more]
