It’s not always a big deal, but let’s face it: it often happens that you don’t have those on you when you actually need them. Unfortunately, you still need a dongle to use a VGA, DVI or Display port display. The HDMI port is very welcome because it’s actually pretty annoying to use a dongle to connect to a TV or a 1080p monitor. There is also one audio out, one HDMI port and one SD card slot. On the sides, you can find a couple of Thunderbolt ports, and a couple of USB 3.0 ports.

Believe me, it’s great to have lost about ⅓ of the thickness, and one pound of overall weight – but, this otherwise feels very much the same. Yet, despite the fact that Apple calls this new design a “radical change” from the previous design, after using it for the better part of the day, it does feel very much like a slightly “squished” version of my previous Macbook Pro 15. The removal of the optical drive is the main factor behind the change, since it was the main thing preventing the Macbook Pro from being slimmed down. The Macbook Pro with Retina display shows the first *major* change in the overall Macbook Pro unibody design. In this review, we will show you how it feels to use the new Macbook Pro with Retina display in the real world, for both Mac and Windows users. Finally, an NVIDIA graphics processor based on the Kepler architecture powers the display operations and ensure nothing less than stellar graphics performance. Internally, the new Macbook Pro uses the latest Intel Processor code-named Ivy Bridge which brings incremental improvements in terms of performance and power consumption. This time, the new Macbook Pro introduces two main things: a thinner, slimmer, design and an extremely high-density display that reaches an unbelievable 2880×1800 pixels resolution. Although it is sensibly thinner, the new Macbook Pro feels very much like a regular Macbook Pro in physical termsĪpple tends to update its designs very infrequently, so a change like this new Macbook Pro is a bit of an event in the Apple world.
