Apple® today introduced an all-new version of its popular 13-inch
MacBook® Pro featuring a stunning Retina™ display and all flash storage
in a new compact design. At a mere 0.75 inches and 3.57 pounds, the
remarkably portable 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is 20
percent thinner and almost a pound lighter than the current 13-inch
MacBook Pro.
The new MacBook Pro packs more than 4 million pixels into its 13-inch
Retina display, nearly twice the number of pixels in an HD television.
At 227 pixels per inch, the Retina display’s pixel density is so high
the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels at a normal
viewing distance, so images look sharp and text looks like it does on
the printed page. With four times the pixels of the current 13-inch
MacBook Pro, you can view and edit video in pixel-accurate 1080p and see
a new level of detail in high resolution images. The 13-inch Retina
display uses IPS technology for a 178-degree wide viewing angle, and has
75 percent less reflection and 28 percent higher contrast than the
current generation.
Featuring flash storage that is up to four times faster than traditional
notebook hard drives, the all-new MacBook Pro is extremely responsive,
whether it’s waking from sleep or launching your favorite apps. Fast
flash storage combined with the latest Intel dual-core processors gives
the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display plenty of power to run your
most demanding apps with ease.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display features 2.5 GHz Intel Core
i5 processors with the option to choose faster 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
processors, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 8GB of 1600 MHz memory, and up to
768GB of flash storage. Two Thunderbolt and two USB 3.0 ports allow
users to connect to multiple displays and high-performance devices, and a
new HDMI port offers quick connectivity to an HDTV. The 13-inch MacBook
Pro with Retina display also features a FaceTime® HD camera, dual
microphones, improved speakers, three-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
4.0, and a MagSafe® 2 power port.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro battery delivers up to 7 hours of wireless
productivity and can remain in standby for up to 30 days. With the all
new Power Nap feature in OS X® Mountain Lion, your MacBook Pro with
Retina display stays up to date while it sleeps. Power Nap automatically
refreshes Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, and Photo Stream, and
when the notebook is plugged in, downloads software updates and backs up
your Mac® using Time Machine®.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available with a 2.5 GHz
dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1 GHz,
8GB of memory and 128GB of flash storage starting at $1,699 (US); and
with 256GB of flash storage starting at $1,999 (US). Configure-to-order
options include faster dual-core Intel Core i7 processors and flash
storage up to 768GB. Additional technical specifications,
configure-to-order options and accessories are available online at apple.com/macbook-pro. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available today through the Apple Online Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
