This is also true. Yes, I know that there are non "retina display" monitors out there that may have the same resolution, but they aren't very common, and are very expensive. Many laptops don't come with such a display, so it's actually quite nice that Apple includes it. I like to remain unbiased when it comes to most things, especially computers, and I must say I have an appreciation for their "retina display" technology on any and all devices. You people are getting waaaaay too upset over a name. That's all it is. A name.
The retina display isn't bad at all, I just disagree with Apple's sort of indirect "simplicity and beauty over functionality" philosophy.
They're putting their focus in making things look better, but on the inside, it's all still the same and advancing much slower than the outside appearance of their products.
