The pixel density is actually HIGHER the the Retina Macs since it's a 13". This means Samsung kind of came up with a retina Macbook Air in a way before Apple did.

The Mac has more pixels on a larger area(2880 by 1800, 15.6", 220 ppi) than the Samsung (2560 by 1440, 13"?, 220 ppi) so the pixel density is about the same. Since this isn't a shipping product, it might be a bit premature to say that Samsung came up with the first retina ultrabook. Battery life might be problem (small battery, huge power demand from the display). Still, why wouldn't PC makers also use high density displays in some models? It's not magic, just engineering.

No, it's only magic when Apple does it!

Apple will sue to have this Samsung device removed so that they can be top seller of retina displayed notebooks - in the mean time Samsung will charge more to produce products for Apple or (be smart) and quit altogether.

Haven't you figured it out by now? In any specs or property where Apple loses, they just write vague terms like 'similar' or even outright lies, as in this case.

The pixel density is actually the SAME as the Retina Mac's since it is a 13" laptop. This screen has fewer pixels in a smaller area equalling the density. That is why the article indicates that one is 2560 by 1440 and the other is 2880 by 1600.

FYI, for those that don't know, SAMSUNG supplies apple with it's "retina" display screens. This is no surprise that they'd use the same technology, if not better for their own laptops.
