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.

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.

does it have a line out?

Asked by michael jost from CA | Jul 25, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

Yes, all mac books have a line in and line out as one input. The headphone jack works as both. You can change which one it wants to be at certain times in your System Preferences.

Does the 15" MacBook pro come with a built in DVD/CD Hard Drive

Asked by Joseph Traino, III from MD | Jul 11, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

No, it does not. The DVD/CD drive was removed from this iteration of the MacBook Pro. Like the MacBook Air, the 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display benefits with a thinner and lighter form factor in return for the non-inclusion of a DVD/CD slot. Apple made the new MacBook Pro compatible with a SuperDrive, on the other hand. It’s one option for people who still need a DVD/CD drive.

Another Masterpiece., 2012-06-23
By Richard Kresse 
This is by far the best work from Apple yet, hands down. The screen is brilliant, its shockingly powerful for a laptop, especially given I'm a Business user that runs 20-30 resource intensive apps and a windows vm at once.

The design and form is fantastic, very sleek and even keeps trim enough to resemble its slimmer brother the Macbook Air.

In, the retina version of the pro the superdrive is gone. But given that cds are literally dying out and the cost of flash storage is cheap theres not a lot to complain about. If you "had"to make CD's you can always get an external usb drive to fit the occasion, or you could not do your research, buy one, be mad and badmouth apple. :P

I am extremely happy with this. CD's are dying, Apple is embracing that. Good job on another outstanding product.

By Sultan Baghdady 
The MacBook Pro with retina desplay was out of stock in most websites.
But suddenly I found it available at this store.

The shipping was very fast, and the product is amazing
Just be sure with specification before you buy because you can’t change it after that.

Best Apple Laptop I've ever owned, 2013-01-22
By Joe Buhler 
This latest Mac Book Pro is the best of a long line of great laptops and I have owned every model since the original grey Powerbook more than 20 years ago!

Blazing fast with the flash storage drive, the display is a pleasure to view. The overall design is just a thing of aesthetic beauty.
