As expected, there are no changes as far as the quality of the materials, rigidity of the unit, and fit and finish are concerned.

Since the design also features an even thickness all around, it doesn't break tradition - the overall look of the Pro series hasn't been altered. The notebook with the high-resolution display features a brand new chassis, which is milled from a single solid piece of aluminum.
Slim notebooks are in - and there's no question that the new MacBook Pro 13 Retina fits the bill. Let's see how well the new slim-line notebook performs in our series of tests and how it compares to its bigger brother. Alternatively, Apple offers the 13.3-inch model without the high resolution display for 500 Euros (~$650) less. Interested? The youngest member of the notebook series from Cupertino is certainly not for the frugal shopper: the price of admission starts at 1750 Euros (~$2275). Upgrades to 16 GB DDR3L RAM and a dedicated (Nvidia) GPU - both are options for the MacBook Pro 15 Retina - are not available. For 200 Euros (~$260) more, the customer can opt for the more powerful Intel Core i7-3520M dual-core processor (2.9 GHz clock speed). Speaking of components: our review model comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor (2.5 GHz clock speed), integrated HD 4000 GPU, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB flash drive. The MacBook Pro 15 Retina features an even higher resolution of 2800x1800 pixels and more powerful components to boot. The Apple MacBook Pro only had 1280x800 pixels and was certainly behind the times. The new model sets a new standard for 13.3-inch subnotebooks with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and 227 DPI. It might have been a business decision to not release the 13.3-inch model in parallel with the 15-inch Retina model - after all: the release of the bigger model certainly stirred up interest in a smaller model with a high resolution display.

It was just a question of time: after the introduction of the Apple MacBook Pro 15 with Retina and subsequent releases from the competition, Apple probably reacted to the introduction of Ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A, which features a Full HD display. And since the onboard graphics chips are directly linked to the generation processors you are using, you will be limited to the Intel HD Graphics 4000, you could get a GT 650M if you opt for the 15 inch model but since that has been discontinued, we'll just assume that you're considering picking up the 13 inch model.On October 23 rd, Apple not only released their new tablets ( iPad 4 & iPad Mini) and a few additional updates across the product lines, but also introduced the MacBook Pro 13 with Retina. By comparison, the newer Haswell (and even Broadwell) processors make better use of the battery, resulting in a longer battery life for your laptop. This means that once you choose your configuration from the Apple Store or you're stuck with it for the entire time you own that computer.Īs of 2015, it is still running Intel's Ivy Bridge processors, while it may not be a major problem for most people, it is still something to consider.

The good part about the non-Retina MacBook Pro is that you can upgrade the hard drive and the RAM later on whereas on the MacBook Air and the Retina MBP the RAM and the hard drive are both soldered onto the logic board.
The speed of SSD is incredibly fast, but it's about 3x more than the price of an HDD. If you're the kind of person who cares about the amount of space he/she has on their computer the MacBook with non-Retina is the way to go as both the MacBook Air and the Retina MacBook Pro uses SSD (or Solid-State Drive). I'd say that if you're not really crazy about having double the pixels on your computer screen, go for it. So, you might be thinking is the Non-Retina MacBook Pro still worth it? Well it's a hard decision, considering the fact that the 13-inch MacBook Air is only $100 less and the base model Retina display MacBook Pro is only a $100 dollars more.
