There's no Ethernet jack on this system but Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for $29 should you require it. On the opposite edge is the MagSafe 2 power connector, dual Thunderbolt ports, another USB 3.0 port and a headphone jack. The front of the system features the familiar cutout to aid in lifting the lid, while on the right side we find a SDXC card reader, HDMI port and a USB 3.0 port.

Where the Air is shaped more like a wedge that gains thickness as you move towards the back of the system, the Retina Pro features a uniform thickness throughout and is 1.5 pounds heavier (4.46 pounds total). I drew some similarities to the MacBook Air in terms of overall thickness but the two systems certainly don't look alike from the exterior. This represents the base model of the MacBook Pro with Retina display that sells for a handsome $2,199. Our 'Retina' MacBook Pro review unit is equipped with a third generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz (Ivy Bridge, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz), 8GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM, 256GB of flash storage, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 650M GPU with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and a built-in FaceTime HD camera. And I'll go ahead and let you in a little secret: it's a thing of beauty. But hey, who are we kidding, the only reason that most people are going to dish over the extra cash for Apple's latest and greatest is the 2880 x 1800 resolution goodness of the Retina display. Instead, there's an entirely reworked chassis that's nearly as thin as the MacBook Air and weighs more than a pound less than the standard Pro.Ĭustomers can also configure a Retina system with up to 16GB of RAM and 768GB of flash storage, versus a maximum of 8GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage on a standard Pro. But anyone familiar with this new system knows that Apple didn't simply add a higher resolution display to the standard MacBook Pro frame. Apple's coveted Retina display has finally found its way to a full-size notebook courtesy of the latest MacBook Pro.
