Both the Blu - ray movies and games in stunning 3D look at the laptop , with clear and bright colors . In particular , older films ' natural film grain is visible , and you can choose the details of the background easily to the big screen . It was like watching a movie in a theater rather than a laptop screen . It is not quite as high - res as the 2,880 -by - 1 , 800 resolution screen with the Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display ( $ 2,254 direct , 4.5 stars ) , but it is nonetheless a good screen .

Add a two - pound AC adapter , and you'll need strong shoulders to carry the combination 11.7 - pound in a backpack or messenger bag large . The system is solidly built , but heavy .
