Stunning Retina display - Millions of Pixels ahead of its time.
The 15-inch model has over 5 million pixels, and the 13-inch model has over four million. So you can retouch your photos or edit a home movie in HD and experience the astounding level of clarity. Text is razor sharp too, so even everyday things like browsing the web and revising a document are better than ever. It's a display worthy of the world's most advanced notebook.
The very definition of power.
With its unbelievably sharp display, fourth-generation Intel processors, high-performance graphics, PCIe-based flash storage and Thunderbolt 2, MacBook Pro with Retina display changes the entire notebook experience. So whatever you can imagine, you can create.
Faster than the sum of its parts.
Fourth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors help you power through the most complicated technical computing tasks. Integrated Iris and Iris Pro Graphics and advanced NVIDIA graphics give you tons of pixel-driving horsepower. State-of-the-art I/O like Thunderbolt 2 gives you high-performance expansion unprecedented in a notebook. And at the centre of it all is an entirely flash-based architecture that makes everything you do incredibly fast and responsive. Specs like these define a whole new standard for notebook computing.
Photography
With over four million pixels on the 13-inch model and over five million pixels on the 15‑inch model, the Retina display is the perfect place to view and edit your high-resolution photos. Dot for dot, more of your image can fit on the screen — which makes editing photos far more precise. And all those pixels let you see fine details and textures like never before. In fact, the Retina display is so sharp, you can tell which photos are in focus just by looking at the thumbnails.
With two ultra-fast Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports and an SDXC card slot, you can build a photo studio round MacBook Pro. Or take it with you and import thousands of RAW images on location — up to six times faster than on a standard MacBook Pro.2 Once your photos are on your computer, editing in Aperture is faster and more responsive than on any notebook we’ve ever built. And fast PCIe-based flash storage lets you quickly browse large image libraries from internal storage. So you have instant access to any photo in your library.
Video Editing
The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to 16 streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15‑inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to nine times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit 10 streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15‑inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.3
Having four times the pixels of a standard display makes video so sharp, so clear and so lifelike, your shots may look even better than you remember. And it changes how you edit video on a notebook, especially in Final Cut Pro X or iMovie. For the first time on a portable computer, you can view your video on the 15-inch MacBook Pro in pixel-accurate 1080p HD and see your editing workspace onscreen at the same time.
Design & Layout
The MacBook Pro is the ultimate creative design studio. With 2560x1600 pixels on the 13-inch model and 2880x1800 pixels on the 15-inch model, the resolution of the Retina display is so high, it rivals the printed page. Reduced glare, higher contrast and a 178-degree viewing angle help make this Retina display the ideal place to see your work. High-performance graphics and processors let you render images and apply filters with incredible speed. And thanks to flash storage and super-fast 1600MHz memory, you can access and edit large-format files much faster than on a traditional notebook.
