Rated 4 out of 5

Powerful laptop with stunning display

I have been using an iPhone 6 and iPad air and appreciate the hardware and software quality, but I have never owned a mac or macbook. I did a lot of research, compared multiple Windows based laptops to the Macbook Pro 13', and yes, you can pay half the price of a macbook for a similar Windows machine. Having owned multiple PCs with a hit or miss performance/hardware, I decided to explore what Apple had to offer in it rivalry with a PC manufacturers. My goal was to find a compact and yet powerfull laptop with an excellent display for photo editing on the road. I have not been able to find such a deal in Windows world except for the Dell XPS which is actually priced on par with a macbook...In the end of the day, the Retina display, portability and overall look won and I ordered Macbook 13 from Adorama. BTW If you are still debating 13' vs 15', IMHO 13 is a better deal unless you are a hardcore programmer or a video editor. Coming from a Windows world, there was some learning curve to adapt to Apple OS, but nothing utterly annoying. Just learn "new" key commands and watch a tutorial or two on a YouTube to shorten the learnng process. Overall I am enjoying this little yet powerful laptop with a stunning Retina display. I doubt I will ever go back to Windows based laptops ever again. Nothing against Windows, but IMHO Apple is ahead of the pack with much better design and quality of the hardware.

About Apple MacBook Pro 13"

A groundbreaking Retina display. All-flash architecture. Fourth-generation Intel processors. Remarkably thin and light 13-inch and 15-inch designs. Together, these features take the notebook to a place it's never been. And they'll do the same for everything you create with it.

Multimillion-Pixel View
When you pack so many pixels into a display over 4 million on the 13-inch model and over 5 million on the 15-inch model the results are positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism. A spectacular 2560-by-1600 resolution on the 13-inch MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880-by-1800 resolution on the 15-inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. And text is so sharp, you'll feel like you're reading email, web pages, and documents on a printed page.

Reduces Glare
The Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. Its high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks and whiter whites. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you're going to love what you see.

Fourth-Generation Intel Mobile Processors
With a fourth-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display lets you take your most performance-hungry apps on the road. That means wherever you can take your camera, you can take your entire digital photo studio. Hyper-Threading technology, which enhances performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks simultaneously, is included in every model. And with speeds up to 3.0GHz, shared L3 cache up to 4MB, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.5GHz, these processors are ready for just about anything.

Intel Iris Graphics
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display features Intel Iris Graphics to handle both everyday tasks and graphics-intensive creative apps. Scroll through large photo albums with ease. Play games with amazing detail. Even connect an external display or two. It's just another way this 13-inch MacBook Pro is small on size and big on performance.

Long Lasting Battery
The 13-inch MacBook Pro lasts up to 9 hours between charges, and the 15-inch model up to 8 hours. That's impressive battery life for any notebook. But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display, state-of-the-art processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it's absolutely remarkable. The built-in battery gives you up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles and up to 30 days of instant-on standby time.

Ultrafast All-Flash Storage
You'll notice a difference in whatever you do - starting up takes seconds, apps launch quickly, even navigating the desktop feels incredibly fluid and responsive. It's all thanks to PCle-based flash storage with incredibly fast read and write performance. So you can import huge photo libraries in no time flat. And on the 15-inch model, flash storage combines with quad-core processors and high-performance graphics to make quick work of even the most demanding editing tasks in Final Cut Pro.

Since these MacBook Pro models come with up to 1TB of flash storage, you can keep all your important files with you.3 Flash doesn't have any moving parts, which makes it superdurable and quiet. And flash storage is extremely energy efficient, which means your MacBook Pro also has the ability to stay in standby mode for up to a month, without plugging in. So whether it's been 1 day or 30, your all-flash MacBook Pro will spring to life, right where you left off.

802.11ac Wi-Fi
Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio. With an emphasis on mobile. Equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you're free to unplug and still stay connected to your network, to your wireless peripherals, and to the world. With AirPlay and Apple TV, you can wirelessly play video, show off photos, and enjoy music from your MacBook Pro on your widescreen TV. And when your MacBook Pro connects to an 802.11ac Wi-Fi base station, such as AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule, your wireless performance is up to 3x faster.

Thunderbolt 2
Fast and versatile, Thunderbolt 2 provides up to 20Gb/s of bandwidth to each external device. So you're more than ready for the next generation of high-performance peripherals and displays. You can connect massive amounts of storage and add a PCI expansion chassis. And since each Thunderbolt 2 port allows you to daisy-chain up to six peripherals, you can go all out by plugging in up to 12 external devices via Thunderbolt alone.

Whether you choose the 13-inch or 15-inch model, you'll get two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a headphone port. So in a matter of minutes you can build an entire professional studio with MacBook Pro as its centerpiece.

Audio and Visual
You haven't heard it all until you've heard the speakers inside MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good to be true. That's because we labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear.

Dual built-in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you're making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice instead of the noise around you.

faceTime HD Camera
Make your point with greater clarity. Centered just above the widescreen Retina display on MacBook Pro is an advanced FaceTime HD camera, with an image sensor that produces accurate colors and reduced image noise even in low light. The sophisticated image processor produces sharper images and reduced motion blur. And the face detection feature automatically adjusts exposure and white balance to complement your face and skin tone, so you always look your best no matter what lighting is behind you.

Multi-Touch Trackpad
In OS x, Multi-Touch is an essential part of how you interact with your Mac. Using realistic, intuitive gestures, you can switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the most out of your desktop space. MacBook Pro features a Multi-Touch trackpad with a large, all-glass button surface. So you can tap, pinch, swipe, and click away comfortably.

Backlit Keyboard
Thin and light, MacBook Pro is designed to go anywhere including places with less-than-stellar lighting. A built-in sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the keyboard and display brightness automatically. So you're never left in the dark.

iCloud
iCloud stores your content and lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more from whatever device you're on. So if you take a picture with your iPhone or make changes to your meeting schedule on your iPad, iCloud makes sure everything appears on your Mac, too. And it works both ways create a to-do list on your Mac and you can make edits to it on your iPhone.

Powerful Apps
Out of the box, MacBook Pro is already a document-creating, presentation-sharing, number-crunching, photo-editing, movie-making, and music-producing powerhouse. That's because it includes six powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.6 Not to mention all the other incredible apps, including Safari, Mail, and iBooks, which are perfect for the things you want to do and the things you need to do. And, of course, there are thousands more apps to discover at the Mac App Store.
