#Macbook pro retina portable#

OS:OS X Mountain Lion with Boot Camp Windows 7/8 Support.

Display: 15.4-inch LED backlit IPS Retina Display, 2880x1800, 220ppi.

Graphics Core: GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5.

CPU: Intel Core i7 3620QM CPU at 2.6GHz.

CPU, SSD and RAM are configurable options. The Retina MacBook Pro offers premium build quality and state-of-the-art Intel processors married up to a GeForce GT 650 with 1GB of GDDR5 RAM that's common across the line-up (the non-Retina model has the same GPU, but with just 512MB of RAM). Hook this unit with more storage and a capture card via the Thunderbolt ports and it would actually outperform our current Nehalem-based in-house video capture/editing workstations.

This is a product that is effectively a lightweight, highly portable mobile computer with enough power to replace just about any desktop computer. Perhaps most surprisingly of all, it makes the 15-inch laptop form factor relevant again. Not only that but it does so while reducing the form factor of the unit in comparison to its predecessor, being both thinner and lighter and at the same time considerably cooler too. It delivers ultra-precision resolution, but in a product geared more towards productivity and content creation, the extra pixels truly work for you. The next generation MacBook Pro succeeds where - arguably - the Retina-equipped new iPad failed. until you turn it on, that is until you witness the new 2880x1800 display in action. It's big on build quality and premium finish, but rather unassuming on first glance once liberated from its minimalistic packaging. Described variously by Apple as the 'best computer we've ever made' and indeed the 'most beautiful', first impressions of the new Retina-equipped MacBook Pro are understated to say the least, with the machine taking the form of a stylistic merging of the existing model and the MacBook Air.
