The keyboard and trackpad remain essentially the same as seen on the last several generations of MacBook. Denser than it looks at first glance, the 15-inch MacBook Pro isn't exactly a carry-all-day-every-day package, although one could conceivably pull that off a few times per week. Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0Īs in the first generation of these MacBook Pro models from 2012, the current versions exist somewhere between the chunkier idea of a 'pro-level,' power-user laptop and the slim ultrabook ideal. However, the tile interface view in Windows 8 does something similar with the handful of higher-res PCs now available.Īpple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display (June 2012)

Unlike some Windows PCs with higher-res screens, OS X is more interested in scaling your onscreen content to look its best (or what Apple thinks will look best), rather than giving you full unfettered access to that very, very high resolution. The flagship MacBook Pro retains its very high screen resolution, which results in crisper text and clearer photos (2,560x1,600 pixels for the 13-inch model, 2,880x1,800 for the 15-inch model). For the sake of expediency, we'll now refer to the current 13-inch and 15-inch Retina Display models simply as the MacBook Pro. The 15-inch version is presumably relegated to the same lonely afterlife as its long-gone 17-inch relative. Currently only the 13-inch version of the 'classic' MacBook Pro is still for sale.

Note, however, that this CPU update applies only to the thinner MacBook Pro models with Retina Displays.
