The 2012 MacBook Air and Pro lineups have been updated to Intel’s third-generation Core i-series processors, which are also known as Ivy Bridge. Now this new MacBook Pro with Retina Display starts out from there.
Features
The best is the new Retina Display. Its resolution is 2,880×1,800 pixels, providing a level of detail never seen on a laptop before. The highest standard Windows laptop screen resolution is 1,920×1,080 pixels, the same as an HDTV.

The MacBook Pro with Retina Display, while expensive, is the best all-around MacBook Apple now makes and if you need a built-in optical drive or Ethernet jack, both are available via external dongles or peripherals. It provides desktop-replacement-level performance, but is slim.

The new, thinner 15-inch MacBook Pro is not an ultrabook or an ultrathin laptop, nor is it a full mid size laptop. Instead, it takes features from both sides.
At 0.7 inch, it’s nearly as thin as a MacBook Air, at least the thicker end of that tapered system. But it’s heavier than it looks, closer to a Pro, at 4.6 pounds.
The speakers are on either side of the keyboard. The keyboard and trackpad are essentially the same as seen on the last several generations of MacBook. And the trackpad, with its multi finger gestures, remains the industry leader.
