I wasn't able to find the specs, but do you know if the MacBook Pro is a 4K monitor? Reason I ask is, I notice how amazing the text is on this laptop.



You can find the resolution online. It depends on whether it's a 13" or 15" model. It is less than 4k, but has a higher DPI then 4k desktop screens. The only thing which gets as sharp are the 5k 27" screens - that's likely why Apple decided to make them.


It is. Apple calls it "Retina".

Whether a monitor looks really crisp depends on a combination of number of pixels, screen size and viewing distance. For 4K monitors the typical size is 27" to get the "retina" quality at normal desk viewing distance.


Not quite. More like 3K.

The 15.4" MacBook Pros are 2880×1800, and the 13.3" are 2560×1600 px.
