You've never seen anything like it.
Because there's never been anything like it.

A Retina display with 5.1 million pixels. An all-flash architecture. Quad-core Intel Core i7 processors. In a design that's just 0.71 inch thin and 4.46 pounds. It's not just the most advanced notebook we've ever made, it's the most advanced Mac we've ever made.

Retina display.
The world's highest-resolution notebook display.

We wanted this MacBook Pro to have a screen as vivid as your imagination. A screen where everything you see is remarkably vibrant, detailed, and sharp. What we created was the world's highest-resolution notebook display - and our most jaw-dropping Retina display yet.

One screen. Five million pixels.

When you pack over 5 million pixels into a 15.4-inch display, the results are positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels. 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. So your best ideas can become your best work.
More color and contrast. Less glare.

The new Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. In fact, it has a 29 percent higher contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro display. Blacks are blacker. Whites are whiter. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you're going to love what you see.

All-flash Storage.
It makes quicker work of everything.

When your goal is to build the high-performance notebook of the future, you begin at its foundation. For this MacBook Pro, that foundation was flash. Because when you build a notebook around an all-flash architecture, not only is everything more durable, reliable, and battery efficient - everything is fast. Really, really fast.

All-flash Storage.

When your goal is to build the high-performance notebook of the future, you begin at its foundation. For this MacBook Pro, that foundation was flash. Because when you build a notebook around an all-flash architecture, not only is everything more durable, reliable, and battery efficient - everything is fast. Really, really fast.

Long-lasting battery.
7-hour charge, 30-day standby time.

The all-new MacBook Pro has more than just processing power. It has an incredible amount of battery power, too. So you can do more than ever - all on a single charge.


Matching power for power.

A 7-hour battery life is impressive for any notebook. But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display, top-of-the-line processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it's absolutely remarkable. The built-in 95-watt-hour battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles and up to 30 days of instant-on standby time.3 Which means you can put your MacBook Pro to sleep, and it'll come back on instantly - after a day, a week, or even a month. With Power Nap coming this summer in OS X Mountain Lion, your MacBook Pro can continue to receive new email and calendar invitations while it's asleep. And when it's connected to a power source, it can download software updates and make backups with Time Machine. So the next time you open your notebook, everything's right there waiting for you.

Intel Core i7.
The latest in quad-core performance.

The all-new MacBook Pro comes with the fastest mobile quad-core processor on the market: the Intel Core i7. It's the muscle behind the most powerful notebook we've ever built.

The new mobile powerhouse.

This notebook has the power to do amazing things. Third-generation Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors with a state-of-the-art 22-nanometer single-die microarchitecture provide the fastest quad-core performance ever in a notebook. Hyper-Threading technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. And with speeds up to 2.7GHz, 6MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7GHz, these processors are great for running professional applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro. They also support up to 16GB of superfast 1600MHz memory. Which means the all-new MacBook Pro is ready to take on whatever you can dream up.

Next-generation NVIDIA graphics.
A flawless onscreen performance.

Graphics on the all-new MacBook Pro are so fast, smooth, and realistic, you might just forget you're looking at a computer screen.

The power behind the pixels.

The all-new MacBook Pro has a phenomenal display - and a GPU to match. Based on a next-generation Kepler architecture with 1GB of dedicated video memory, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor provides up to 60 percent faster graphics performance than any notebook we've ever made. And it delivers enough power to drive the amazing 5-million-pixel Retina display as well as two external displays. All while making the most graphics-intensive tasks - like rendering HD video and editing RAW photography - fast, fluid, and incredibly lifelike.

The future of high-speed data transfer. Ready to use today.

Everything about the all-new MacBook Pro is high performance - even its I/O. Thunderbolt is the fastest, most versatile I/O available, and this notebook has two Thunderbolt ports. That's a huge advantage when you need to connect to just about anything - external displays, RAID arrays, video capture devices, even FireWire peripherals (adapter sold separately, available July) and Gigabit Ethernet networks (adapter sold separately). Combine that with two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, and an SDXC card slot, and in a matter of minutes you can build an entire professional studio with the all-new MacBook Pro as its centerpiece.

Stay connected with the most advanced wireless technology.

Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio. With an emphasis on mobile. Equipped with the latest three-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi5 and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you're free to unplug and still stay connected - to your network, to your wireless peripherals, and to the world.

Advanced speaker design.
Your notebook never sounded this good.

You haven't heard it all until you've heard the speakers inside the all-new MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good to be true. That's because we labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear.

Dual mics. They'll hear you loud and clear.

Dual built-in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you're making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation (coming this summer in OS X Mountain Lion), they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice - instead of the noise around you.

Touch and go go go.

In OS X, Multi-Touch is an essential part of how you interact with your Mac. Using realistic, intuitive gestures, you can switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the most out of your desktop space. The all-new MacBook Pro features a Multi-Touch trackpad with a large, all-glass button surface. So you can tap, pinch, swipe, and click away comfortably.

A brighter way to work.

Thin and light, this notebook is designed to go anywhere - including places with less-than-stellar lighting. A built-in sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the keyboard brightness automatically. So you're never left in the dark.

Retina-Ready Software
Your favorite software. As you've never seen it before.

We've updated Apple software to take advantage of the beautiful Retina display. OS X Lion apps - Safari, Mail, iCal, Address Book, and more - as well as iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, Aperture, and Final Cut Pro have already been optimized, and updates to the other Apple apps are coming soon.

What's the make of the retina display? LG or Samsung?

Asked by Yi He from AZ | Mar 27, 2013

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

You can only determine display manufacturer upon receiving the unit and checking Hardware Profiler. Apple uses displays from both manufacturer so there is no way of telling without opening the box.

How does the 256G flash storage compare to other MacBooks with 750G hard drives? I eat up a fair amount of storage with photos.

Asked by Gene Zackerman from OH | Jul 17, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Flash will give your computer faster speed. If you need large storage spaces, I suggest getting the MacBook Pro with 750GB drive (or use an external storage).

No, the RAM is soldered onto the logic board.

Will the Mac Book Air Super Drive work on this machine?

Asked by Patrick Uza from HI | Jun 12, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Apple has updated the product listing for the USB SuperDrive and it now lists the MacBook Pro with Retina Display along with the MacBook Air and Mac Mini under the system requirements.

Answered by Eric Daniels from KS | Jun 20, 2012

Any issues with software that has not been updated to take advantage of the retina display.

Asked by Mark Sugarberg from MA | Jun 12, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Not that I have heard of. The computer ships with a special version of the current operating system, OS X Lion, which offers you the ability to choose from several different resolutions. Applications that have not been updated will look the same as they would on the non-retina MacBook Pros, except maybe the text will look better automatically! I suspect your best bet is to visit an Apple Store in person.

Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro Review, 2012-07-11
By Mike Johnson 
The retina display is better than high definition television. I also like the "thinness" of this MacBook Pro version compared to the 2010 model that I also still own.

From PC to MacBook Pro Retina, 2012-07-31
By Mike 
The store was great to work with and delivered my MBP earlier than expected. I would give an Excellent to them. The MBP is really a step above the PC world I came from, everything is better, much better except the hassles with getting the new Moutain Lion OS.

The Mountain Lion OS update has been a real pain, Apple has really messed this up big time. I have had to go through the process 3 times now and still don’t have the updated OS...or the code to download. Apple requires an image of the sales receipt. They won’t accept a PDF of the sales receipt, or a file bigger than 1MB which forces you to rescale with most scanners.

So great product for the MBP, great retailer, but poor Mountain Lion support from Apple.
