The all-new MacBook Pro pushes the limits of notebook
performance. It has a stunning Retina display with over 5
million pixels. An all-flash architecture built for speed.
The latest quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and
next-generation NVIDIA graphics. And an incredibly thin and
light design. You've never seen anything like it. Because
there's never been anything like it. The MacBook Pro with
Retina display is available in a 15.4-inch model.
The MacBook Pro with 15.4-inch Retina display.
The world's highest resolution notebook display with
over 5 million pixels.
Measuring a mere 0.71 inches and weighing only 4.46
pounds, the completely redesigned MacBook Pro sets a new
standard in performance and portability for pro users. The
world's highest resolution notebook display with over 5
million pixels--3 million more than an HD television--the
MacBook Pro with Retina display has such a high pixel
density that the human eye cannot distinguish individual
pixels from a normal viewing distance.
The MacBook Pro includes two high-speed Thunderbolt ports
and two USB 3 ports, enabling you to easily connect to
external displays and a wide variety of high performance
peripherals. And it comes standard with automatic graphics
switching that provides performance when you need it and
energy efficiency when you don't. You'll also get up to 7
hours of battery life while on the go.
This version of the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro with Retina
display (model MC976LL/A) features a 2.6 GHz Core i7
quad-core processor, 512 GB of flash storage, and 8 GB of
installed RAM. Other features include ultra-fast Wireless-N
Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, an SDXC card
slot, and an HDMI video output (see full specifications below).
Free Upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
This Mac comes pre-installed with OS X 10.7 Lion, but it
is eligible to a free upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
When Mountain Lion becomes available in July,
Apple's Up-To-Date program page for details on how to
request your copy of Mountain Lion.
Apple's OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date upgrade is
available to all customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac
system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or
after June 11, 2012. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac
between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is
available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the OS
X Mountain Lion release date to make a request.
Mountain Lion introduces innovative features including
the all new Messages app, Notification Center, system-wide
Sharing, AirPlay Mirroring, Game Center, and the enhanced
security of Gatekeeper. With iCloud built into the
foundation of OS X, Mountain Lion makes it easier than ever
to keep your content up to date across all your devices.
Key Features
Breakthrough Retina Display
At 5.1 million pixels (220 pixels-per-inch), the Retina
display's pixel density is so high the human eye cannot
distinguish individual pixels from a normal viewing
distance, so text and graphics look incredibly sharp. Images
take on a new level of realism and text is pin sharp. And
with a 2880-by-1800 resolution, you can see more of your
high-resolution images onscreen with pixel-for-pixel
accuracy. You'll see fine details and textures in photos
like never before, and even tell which photos are in focus
just by looking at the thumbnail.
The Retina display uses IPS technology for a 178-degree
wide viewing angle, and has 75 percent less reflection and
29 percent higher contrast than the previous generation.
Setting a new standard in performance and
portability.
Flash Storage Architecture
WWith its entirely flash-based architecture, the MacBook
Pro with Retina display makes everything you do incredibly
fast and responsive. And when combined with a precision
engineered aluminum unibody design, the new MacBook Pro is
the lightest MacBook Pro ever and nearly as thin as a
MacBook Air. The MacBook Pro's flash storage architecture
also delivers improved reliability, instant-on
responsiveness, and 30 days of standby time. It's also up to
four times faster than traditional notebook hard drives,
enabling the MacBook Pro with Retina display to play four
simultaneous streams of uncompressed 1080p HD video from
internal storage.
Intel Core i7 Quad-Core Processing
The MacBook Pro with Retina display packs plenty of power
thanks to the latest Intel Core i7 processor, which features
a faster processor, more powerful graphics, and a memory
controller integrated into a single chip. The
third-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 has a 2.6 GHz
speed, which can dynamically accelerate up to 3.3 GHz to
match your workload thanks to updated Intel Turbo Boost
Technology.
Automatic Graphics Switching
You'll get excellent graphics flexibility with two video
processors--the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M processor
(with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory) for heavier workloads and
an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor for better
battery life on the go.
When using your MacBook Pro with Retina display for
everyday activities like surfing the Web or checking your
email, the integrated, energy-efficient Intel HD Graphics
4000 processor ensures that everything runs smoothly. But
when you need more horsepower for things like playing 3D
games, editing HD video, or even running CAD software, the
MacBook Pro will automatically switch to the NVIDIA GeForce
GT 650M processor for better responsiveness.
High-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3 Ports
Two high-speed Thunderbolt ports allow the MacBook Air to
transfer data at lightning-fast speeds and connect displays
like the Apple Thunderbolt Display, enabling you to turn
this highly portable notebook into a highly versatile
workstation. And with two USB 3 ports, you'll be able to
connect the latest USB 3 devices and access a pipeline
that's up to 10 times faster than USB 2.
Integrated HD FaceTime Webcam
You'll be able to easily connect with friends, family,
and business colleagues using the MacBook Pro's HD 720p
FaceTime camera, which is integrated into the thin bezel
above the display and features three times the resolution of
the previous FaceTime camera. And with Apple's FaceTime
application, you're not limited to video chats with other
Macs--you can now make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch
users.
