Great news for anyone who ’s lusted after the gorgeous retina display on the MacBook Pro — but has been hesitant to drop $ 2,200 or make room for a 15 - inch laptop . Apple has officially announced a 13 - inch version of its portable workstation , with a 2560 x 1600 Retina Display . That ’s just a slight bead in resolution from the 15 - incher .
In fact , with the 13 - inch model , you ’ll only be sacrificing a chunk of resolution that ’s just 320 x 200 pixels in size . That , and the set of speakers sit on either side of the 15 - inch model ’s keyboard . In terms of embrasure , the new 13 - inch MacBook Pro has the exact same layout as the previous exemplar : an SD slot , USB 3 , and HDMI on one side , and USB 3 , MagSafe 2 , a earphone jack , double mics , and a pair of Thunderbolt ports on the other .
Like with previous interlingual rendition of the MacBook Pro , the 13 - inch Retina Display model comes in two stem configurations price at $ 1,699 and $ 1,999 . The inexpensive $ 1,699 good example admit a 2.5GHz dual - core Intel Core i5 processor , 8 GB of retentivity , and a 128 GB SSD drive . And the $ 1,999 step - up features the same CPU plus a big 256 GB SSD drive . Both models can be further upgraded with a whopping 768 GB SSD ( that wo n’t be a tinny upgrade ) and a 2.9GHz dual - core Intel Core i7 CPU . And like their large sibling , they each boast 7 hours of battery life , under ideal conditions .
A little disappointing , particularly for multimedia pro interested in using the new MacBook Pros as mobile workstation , is the selection to dumb down the nontextual matter scorecard to the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chipset . For equivalence , the original 15 - column inch Retina Display MacBook Pro uses an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M graphics card with 1 GB of memory to power its pixel - pack display .
Both models will be available for order on the Apple website today , October 23 , and both are ship today as well . [ Apple ]
