You've never seen anything like it. Because there's never been anything like it.
A groundbreaking Retina display. All-flash architecture. The fastest mobile processors. Remarkably thin and light 13-inch and 15-inch designs. Together, these features take the notebook to a place it's never been. And they'll do the same for everything you create with it.
Retina display. See the big picture. In never-before-seen detail.
We wanted a screen as vivid as your imagination. A screen where everything you see is vibrant, detailed, and sharp. With the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, we created the world's highest-resolution notebook display. The only thing that even comes close? The supercompact 13-inch model. They're two of a kind. And in a class all their own.
Multimillion-pixel view.
When you pack so many pixels into a display - over 4 million on the 13-inch model and over 5 million on the 15-inch model - 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. Text is pin sharp. A spectacular 2560-by-1600 resolution on the 13-inch MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880-by-1800 resolution on the 15-inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy.
More color and contrast. Less glare.
The Retina display reduces glare up to 75 percent 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 MacBook Pro with Retina display, that foundation is 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.
There's a reason they call it "flash."
You'll notice a difference in whatever you do - starting up takes seconds, apps launch quickly, even navigating the desktop feels incredibly fluid and responsive. It's all thanks to flash storage, which gives you up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive.1 So you can import huge photo libraries into Aperture in no time flat. And on the 15-inch model, flash storage combines with quad-core processors and high-performance discrete graphics to make quick work of even the most demanding editing tasks in Final Cut Pro. Since these MacBook Pro models come with up to 768GB of flash storage, you can keep all your important files with you. Flash doesn't have any moving parts, which makes it superdurable and quiet. And flash storage is extremely energy efficient, which means your MacBook Pro also has the ability to stay in standby mode for up to a month, without plugging in. So whether it's been 1 day or 30, your all-flash MacBook Pro will spring to life, right where you left off.
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 battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles and up to 30 days of instant-on standby time.
Power Nap
With Power Nap in OS X Mountain Lion, your MacBook Pro continues 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.
The fastest mobile processors. Dual-core. Quad-core. Serious power.
MacBook Pro with Retina display features the latest Intel dual-core and quad-core processors. They're the muscle behind the most powerful notebooks we've ever built.
The new mobile powerhouses.
With a dual-core Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display lets you take your most performance-hungry apps on the road. That means wherever you can take your camera, you can take Aperture and your entire digital photo studio, too. Hyper-Threading technology, which enhances performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks simultaneously, is included in every model. And with speeds up to 2.9GHz and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6GHz, these processors are ready for just about anything.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has the power to do even more amazing things. Third-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processors with a state-of-the-art 22-nanometer microarchitecture provide the fastest performance ever in a MacBook Pro. With speeds up to 2.7GHz, up to 8MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7GHz, these processors make quick work of even the most complex tasks in professional apps like Final Cut Pro. They also support up to 16GB of superfast 1600MHz memory. Which means the 15-inch MacBook Pro is ready to take on whatever you can dream up, wherever your travels take you.
Next-generation graphics. A flawless onscreen performance.
These graphics are so fast, smooth, and realistic, you might just forget you're looking at a computer screen.
The power behind the pixels.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display features Intel HD Graphics 4000 - perfect for both everyday tasks and graphics-intensive creative apps. Scroll through large photo albums with ease. Play games with amazing detail. Even connect an external display or two. It's just another way this 13-inch MacBook Pro is small on size and big on performance.
The 15-inch model has a phenomenal display - and a GPU to match. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor based on next-generation Kepler architecture with 1GB of dedicated video memory 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, easy, and incredibly fluid.
Ports and Connections
The future of high-speed data transfer. Ready to use today.
Everything about the MacBook Pro with Retina display is high performance - even its I/O. Whether you choose the 13-inch or the 15-inch model, you'll get two Thunderbolt ports - the fastest, most versatile I/O available. 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) 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 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. And with AirPlay and Apple TV, you can wirelessly play video, show off photos, and enjoy music from your MacBook Pro on your HDTV.

MacBook Pro with Retina Display: Perfection, 2012-12-05
By William Morgans
This MacBook Pro (with Retina display) replaces my faithful white MacBook of 2007 vintage running Mac OS 10.5.8.The local Apple Store completed the data transfer. The new OS (Mountain Lion) does not support my old version of Office for Mac 2004, nor my old Lexmark X75 all-in-one inkjet printer. This is not all bad, as it forced me to up-date Office software to 2011 and to an HP all-in-one that had been part of my 2007 purchase, but remained unused. However, the old white MacBook coped with the older software and printer well. As to the new MacBook Pro (with Retina display), this reflects the progress made over the years from 2007, both in hardware and software. The result in my estimation is, as the review title indicates, the perfect laptop; and a work of art.

The absolute BEST laptop I have ever owned!!!, 2013-03-22
By Michelle L.
This laptop is hands-down the BEST laptop I have ever owned!!! It is the very first time I have ever bought any of the Macbook products, and I was initially hesitant because I can literally buy 3 notebook computers from another brand for one MacBook Pro! However, my friends and co-workers highly recommended the MacBook Pro because they emphasized the huge difference between Apple laptops and laptops from other brands. Once I received my MacBook Pro, I couldn't be happier!!! I didn't have to wait eons for my laptop to start, and the set-up was so smooth and easy! I love how my MacBook is so light and easy to carry and store away, and incredibly user-friendly! My previous two laptops were HP, and they weren't bad. But they were standard laptops that took a while to boot up and function, and even after I had to replace the battery for my last HP laptop, it still would fizzle and conk out on me.
The battery life for my MacBook is just perfect!! I hardly have to charge it up that m...

Excellent replacement for PC laptop, 2013-05-08
By L. Rivera
I've been a PC user for the longest time-- since the early 00s. When my ailing Inspiron finally kicked the bucket earlier this month, I decided to go with this MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I'm very glad to say that I have no regrets whatsoever. Setup was pain-free, so my transition from PC to Mac was seamless, despite the many horror stories from colleagues and friends. By far, this laptop's best feature is its dual-core processor. It boots up heavy-duty apps with no lag whatsoever, something I can't say for all the PC laptops I've used before. Of course, the Retina Display is stunning. I wish the battery lasted longer off the plug, but I'm probably nitpicking.
