"Retina" is a buzzword whose definition changes with the wind. When introduced, "retina" implied "300ppi or over", but with the ipad3, it changed to "something else", as the new ipads are nowhere near 300ppi, yet they're "retina", and the same happens with the mbpro, which has 220ppi, far below 300, but it's labelled "retina" nevertheless.
