Macbook Pro 13 with Retina Display out at Php83k

Apple announced the new 13” MacBook Pro with Retina Display along with the iPad Mini and 4th Gen iPad last October 23. The 13-inch MacBook Pro finally joins its sibling with a 13.3” 2560×1600 pixel panel that will showcase a pixel density of 227ppi, bringing it to Apple’s Retina Display territory.

The base model is powered by a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 Processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of flash storage. Optional configurations include a Core i7 Processor and additional flash storage up to 768GB. Unfortunately, the MacBook has no dedicated graphics card and only has Intel’s dedicated graphics to compensate for that.

It weighs in at 3.57 pounds and has dimensions of 0.75″ (h) x 12.35″ (w) x 8.62″ (d).

Of course, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display also features 2 Thunderbolt ports, 2 USB 3.0 ports, an SDXC card slot and an HDMI port like other MacBook Pros. Everything is powered by a built-in battery and like the non-Retina model, this one is expected to run up to 7 hours.

The 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display is available on Apple’s website starting at Php82,990USD 1,414INR 119,887EUR 1,347CNY 10,299 for the base model.

I’m sorry but 128gb is not a hdd but an ssd. 128gb is pretty much a suitable size for running your programs.

I’m still happy to have opted for a macbook pro then replaced the included drives with an SSD and HDD combo (for the optical). Not as thin, but definitely not as expensive.

I’m very sure that the high resolution will quickly put the Intel HD 4000 in its knees. No discrete graphics for this price = no buy.

Apple is getting more desperate in deceiving people with the word “pro” being included in this laptop’s name.

Only a dumb person would buy this piece of overpriced crap whose specs belong to the 2010s era.

The specs should fall for the air category. Calling this “Pro” with this level of specs along with its price is a stupid move.

@Rick or James.
I tried it also. Medyo may sira lang siguro ang mata ko. Mahirap talaga gamitin sa 13″ na screen.

Never tried a 17incher though.
