Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?
FWIW, PC Pro has posted a number of screen shots taken on a MBP Retina at various resolutions, including the full 2880 x 1800, of Mac OS and Windows 8. If you save the images, then open them in Preview, you can see them first at "actual size," which will show how crisp they can be but will no doubt not fit on your screen because there aren't enough screen pixels. Then zoom out until the image measures about 15" diagonally. Unless you're using a rMBP, the details (e.g., text) will be blurry, but if you can sort of see the details, on the true Retina display full resolution may be usable.
