Apple MacBook Pro 15-Inch Retina Display (2014)
Power Mac users, including art directors, film editors, photographers, videographers, and the like, wait for each new release of the top-of-the-line Apple MacBook Pro with bated breath. The first question is always, "is better that the new MacBook Pro models than last year?" In this case, we want to say yes, but only 16GB of memory is common today, ranging from 8GB. Sure, the Core i7 processor is a couple of hundred megahertz faster, but really do not translate into measurably faster performance in general. Because of this, the latest 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display ($ 1,999) is still a great power laptop users, a veritable thing or lust, which earns our Editors Choice nod 'for the high-end desktop replacement laptop.

Design and Features
Design The 15-inch MacBook Pro has not changed from the last model year, sporting the same 0.71 by 14.25 by 9.75 inches (HWD) aluminum chassis. Weight is similar to £ 4.36, although imperceptibly lighter than previous iterations. Cutouts in the side to help pluck the chill turned to the internal components, and in the same spot. The connection continues to be excellent, the counting system HDMI port, headset jack, SDXC card reader, two Thunderbolt ports, and two USB 3.0 ports (one on each side). About the only missing a user may want the business object has an Ethernet port. You can add one with a $ 29 Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet adapter. Built-in 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity cover. The 802.11ac protocol is rarely the Windows laptop anyway, although more high-end systems such as the Dell XPS 13 Touch, the Dell Precision M2800 and HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (G4U67UT) supports faster wireless standard.

The backlit chiclet-style keyboard is made ​​up of generally excellent black keycaps with high contrast characters. It is much easier to read than the silver-on-silver keyboard on Acer Aspire S7-392-5410. The well-proportioned, glass-covered trackpad reacts rapidly with multi-touch input. Have available without the Mac with touch screen, although that drawback because OS X is not optimized for touch.

The 15.6-inch IPS display with 2800 by 1800 resolution, which is higher than 2560-by-1440's Editors' Choice high-end ultrabook, the Toshiba Kirabook 13 i7s Touch, but less than 4K UHD 3,840- by 2,160-screen Toshiba Satellite P50T-BST2N01. OS X Mavericks automatic level screen so everything is crisp, as long as you use applications that have been updated for the Retina display. For example, 1080p and 720p HD YouTube videos to play back in full resolution in Safari and Chrome without having to zoom out the video in full screen. On-screen elements, such as menu bars and windows, automatic measure in a virtual resolution 1440-by-900 for the purpose of positioning, although the images and video in windows appear at full resolution. Text can be changed so it looks ultra smooth with Retina display. Contrast this with the i7s Kirabook 13 Touch and Satellite P50T-BST2N01, which may need to adjust the scale repeatedly to seem very small menu text or images does not seem right.

It is not always wonderful Mac, however. If you are using an older version of a program (such as Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, for example), text and images can not measure right and there will be a corresponding reduction in quality. The only nit is inevitable that the system is still no matte screen option for people who can not stand glossy glass.

The $ 1,999 base model 15-inch MacBook Pro with 16GB of system memory and a 256GB Flash Storage module (Akin to a SSD in other notebooks). System memory is not upgradable, but Flash Storage is technically upgradable. We say technically because you will have to source a module compatible Flash Storage PCIe and buy special P5 pentalobe screwdriver to handle the screws on the bottom lid customized laptop. Ultimately, it is not otherwise upgradeable, but then again neither are most notebooks and ultrabooks these days. In addition to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is preloaded with Keynote, Numbers, and Pages (iWork), as well as GarageBand, iBooks, iMovie, iPhoto, and iTunes (iLife). IWork, you should be able to manage schoolwork and core business activities without having to buy Microsoft Office. If you discount free solutions like Google Docs, giving it a leg up MacBook Pro laptop with Windows, which comes only with the trial version of Office. The system has a one-year warranty with 90 days of telephone support.
