Does this have retina display null

"Retina Display" is just an Apple marketing term. But the 12" macbook "retina" displays have 226 pixels per inch while the Pixelbook has 235 pixels per inch. Pixelbook has the slightest edge but essentially they're identical.

Retina is a brand of apple - so you wont see the term "Retina" related to chromebooks. In general, you look for pixel density in terms of pixels per inch or ppi. Macbook retinas typically come in around 227 ppi. The Google Pixelbook has a ppi of 235 - slightly higher, but very similar. So while it's not called "Retina" it has slightly better resolution and density than a Macbook pro retina screen for roughly the same size screen - 13".

The pixelbook's display is 12.3" LCD 2400x1600 (235 ppi). Retina Display is a term coined by Apple for it's displays. When introducing the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs said the number of pixels needed for a Retina Display is about 300 PPI for a device held 10 to 12 inches from the eye.

No, it has a 2400x1600 HD LCD screen
