This update of EveryMac.com features a complete update to the Retina Display MacBook Pro Q&A to cover the latest line. EveryMac.com also has introduced new left-hand navigation and other tweaks to streamline ease-of-use on tablets and traditional computers alike.
If you have thoughts about EveryMac.com's new left-hand navigation system -- available now on the homepage and other select pages for testing -- please share.
The Retina Display MacBook Pro Q&A answers "How fast are the 'Mid-2014' MacBook Pro models compared to one another, the models replaced, and the MacBook Air?" and "How can you 'force' or 'hack' the Retina Display MacBook Pro models to run at the native resolution or otherwise fit more on screen by default?" and everything in between about the current line.
Finally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with many more identifiers for recent Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It is always appreciated.
