It's small, but it's not as small. That thing's huge in comparison.

It's 0.94" wider, 0.14" deeper and 0.08" higher. Huge?

For that you get another inch on your screen and 73% more pixels (3200x1800).

It's worth noting that the Quad-HD screen only comes on the more expensive models, starting at $1299. The lower priced ones come with a 1080p screen.

That depth difference could feel pretty significant when the thing is razor thin.

The new macbook starts at $1299 as well. If you are going to compare them, then at least compare the same price points.
