If you'll be chopping up masses of big files then that extra flash space might be more useful than you'd think, but it doesn't come in cheap. It's this top-spec model that we've been testing out for this review, as that's what Apple sent on over for the loan. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available with a 2.4 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.9 GHz, 4GB of memory, 128GB of flash storage for £1100.įor an extra £150 there's a with an 8GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage option or, top of the off-the-shelf pile, is the £1,500 2.6Ghz model with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of flash storage.
Intel's processor better graphics via Intel Iris and, the crux of it all, better battery life than ever before.Ĭombined with Mavericks it means we've been getting a good day's worth of battery from a single charge and while the system doesn't last as long as the MacBook Air - something probably to do with the increased screen resolution the Pro has to power - it's nonetheless still very good. Welcome Intel Haswell, which drives forth not significantly better performance, per se, but better power performance. The main shift in the 2013 MacBook Pro is the interior architecture.

There's enough resolution, for example, for video editing at native 1080p while leaving enough additional space around the preview for your editing tools.

Processor or macbook pro late 2013 software#
A year in with the Retina display and the 2013 MacBook Pro doesn't have the issues with apps and jaggy views in some software that was an issue before. There is one difference to before, though, and that's time. In its MacBook Pro form it's lovely to enjoy. The screen is almost like an enlarged 13-inch equivalent of the Retina-flavoured iPad devices, such as the 9.7-inch iPad Air. The laptop carries the same signature Apple silver aluminium metal finish, the same backlit Chiclet keyboard and the same lovely-to-use glass trackpad. In short the new MacBook Pro looks the same as the last couple of models from Apple with some small tweaks to make it even lighter and thinner. Does it really make sense in the face of the Air? Design
The 15-inch can be fitted out with more powerful graphics, whereas the latest 13-inch Retina display models starts and ends with Intel Iris. There's also the question of power between smaller and larger devices. Is that extra baggage and cost worth it, or should you plump for the higher-spec device? It's available in two versions: the 13-inch and 15-inch, both of which can offer Retina display - as in this model on review - and a powerful spec sheet if you are happy to add a little weight to your bag over the MacBook Air.
(Pocket-lint) - The MacBook Pro is Apple's top-of-the-line laptop computer and one that comes with plenty of power.
