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
ME664LL/A) features a 2.4 GHz Core i7 quad-core processor, 256 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
Setting a new standard in performance and portability.
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.
Flash Storage Architecture
With 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 2.4 GHz speed, which can
dynamically accelerate up to 3.4 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.
