I look forward to the day when we have super hi dpi laptops.
However, while the lower dpi of my macbook pro is noticeable, it is not tremendously so. If the screen were closer to my face it would be much more noticeable, but laptops usually have some distance to the viewer.

How do you owners of devices with retina display feel when you go back to programming on your MBPs?
I'm seriously considering getting one of those high DPI MacBook Airs now.
Definitely love the 11 inch Air for 3 reasons:
1. Highest dpi screen of a Mac 2. Keyboard travel 3. Overall solid feel
I use both a Pro and Air daily and can say without doubt that I always prefer the Air.
However, if there's rumor of a new Air coming out soon, I'd wait for that.
They don't exist (yet). Lion supports HighDPI mode, but the Airs have about the same DPIs as the iPad 1/2.
Still higher DPI than the pros. That's all I meant.
