Anyone else surprised?

I fully expected apple to go 16:9, but instead they went 16:10. I am very happy that they could do that since other players like Lenovo have publicly claimed they were moving to 16:9 because they had no other choice..

Was anyone else surprised by this?

I was surprised that Lenovo tried to claim they had no choice as an excuse... which is really a flat out lie to try to get people to shut up...

but no, i wasn't surprised Apple stuck with 16:10.

no, apple has stuck with 16:10 for a long time, and they're using custom expensive panels now anyway. makes perfect sense to keep things 16:10

I think the lenovo side is going to be upset that apple is still able to source parts in 16:10...

Lenovo could too if they wanted to. They don't want to because they'd have to pay more... and they want to go as cheap as possible, so using what is already being massed produced is cheaper.

Looking at the price tags that's entirely possible.

And I would have liked for them to have a retina display option on the 13in pro or air for an extra cost.

I expected Lenovo to do better especially since they own the legendary IBM.
