Apple just announced them.
The good (For Eve);
High resolution screen
Faster graphics card
Magsafe 2 plug (may not burn up as often)
The bad
No 17 inch model
Will there be compatibility issues?
We all await news form someone who tries Eve on it.

There is UI scaling, but 125% is the largest option. The Retina display has almost twice the pixels per inch of a normal display. Brackets are going to get real small. But they will be in high resolution. Will small, but high resolution look good? Also the new Macs will have a set of display options that is sort of like UI scaling in what it does. What happens if a user turns that on?

The new MBP 15 inch is 2880 x 1800 pixels, which is both over 1200 and 16 to 10.

The IT guys here at work think there will be a 17" version in the future. Reading on the internet I get the feeling that the holdup is no one can make a 17" display with the 220 pixels per inch needed for a Retina display. But they will. Eventually even 24" screens with a Retina display will be available. Its coming, we just do not know when.
And yes, the lack of a 17" version turns me off too, and I will await developments. Maybe we should all go to an apple store, tell them we want to order one, ask for the 17" version. When told it does not exist, act all disappointed and request to be notified when it becomes available.

It also lacks an ethernet port, another loss of functionality. You got to use a adapter to USB. At work we got far to many users to have everyone on wireless, we got to use ethernet.

Can you get anything from the game proper? The esc window? The bug reporting window?

So once you got into the game you could set resolutions higher than 1440 x 900? What does text do at 2880 x 1800? Is the overview still readable?

Supposedly with that many pixels you get a 150% UI scaling option. Try that too.
