Design and Features
Design-wise, if you see a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, you've seen it all. Iterations this year with the same, familiar all-aluminum exterior and glossy glass covering Switching (IP) screen 13.3-inch In-Plane. It still measures 12.35 by 0.71 by 8.62 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.38 pounds.
The high-contrast keys can be seen in both bright light and in a completely darkened room, thanks to the excellent backlighting. The keyboard has a nice feel, with convex keys and strong spring to help ensure that any typo's your own fault. Supports trackpad glass-covered one-, two-and three-finger multitouch gesture, and you can connect most Bluetooth keyboards, mice, trackpads and external system in seconds.
The Retina Display May 2560-by-1600 resolution, which translates to a 16:10 aspect ratio. In comparison, the display 1920-by-1080 resolution Acer Aspire S7-392-5410 and 2560-by-1440-resolution screen Toshiba Touch Kirabook 13 i7s both with 16: 9 aspect ratio. The extra pixels can provide photos, video, or spreadsheet editors the ability to clearly displays images that would overwhelm a screen with lower resolution. Note that you may vary your experience, you can display the apps that have not been updated for the Retina Display blockier text and images. In any case, OS X automatically levels the items on the screen by default to do some window appear in approximately 1280 by 800, which is a good thing. If it is displaying the true 1-to-1 pixel in all the time, then the icons, menu items, and text will look very small.
Port selection remains excellent. There is an HDMI port, a headset jack, an SD card reader, two Thunderbolt 2 port, and two USB 3.0 ports on the outer edge. You can use the Thunderbolt port to connect to an iMac and use it as your external display, or connect the MacBook Pro to an external mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt display natively. Apple, along with a wide selection of third-party vendors, make adapters for DVI, Ethernet, VGA, and even the external PCIe expansion card chasses (but thusly connected devices run at speeds slower interface). Thunderbolt 2 have theoretical maximum throughput of 20Gbps, and can be Daisy chained with up to six devices per port (12 total devices).
The 128GB Flash Storage module (similar to a solid-state drive to other systems) have a relatively low capacity for a high-end ultraportable or ultrabook, but it is enough if you tote a fast Thunderbolt portable drive for your video files or database files. The trip is about 110GB available when you first set up the system. Has already built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi for a fast connection to the Internet and any network you connect to. If you need more storage, the $ 1,499 MacBook Pro configuration doubles the storage to 256GB, while the $ 1,799 model has 512GB and a slight bump in processor speed. The included 8GB of system memory can be increased to 16GB extra for $ 200 before buying, but not after.
The system is Apple iLife (GarageBand, iPhoto, iTunes, etc.) and iWork (Keynote, Numbers, Pages, etc.) software suite, which means you do not need to buy a copy of Microsoft Office unless you rely to the Office more hidden functions. The 13-inch MacBook Pro has a one-year warranty, and 90 days of telephone technical support.
