When the first MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina was launched in 2012, it received some mixed reviews and responses. Where it was being highly criticized money wise without the dedicated graphics card, it was also praised for being the most amazing 13-inch notebook to date with absolutely great retina display. With time and the increasing demand of the MacBook, Apple not only upgraded the hardware slightly but the price was also reduced as per the demand of the fans and users.
The MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina has various features. It is shipped with OSx10.8 Mountain Lion, a 128 GB SSD, 13.3 inch 2560×1600 at 227 PPI, a 2.5GHz i5 Intel Core Processor and an amazing MacBook Pro memory. This amazing machine comes with a great battery life, a super speedy resume and sleep option and the high quality display is combined with portability for its users. But it does not come with an upgradable RAM and it has just 2 USB ports.
The Retina Display
Apple has a simple trick; where traditional displays have a single pixel, Retina display has 4. These extra pixels make everything sharper. Not much superlatives are left for the Retina displays of Apple. The company is now leading the technology industry in building the software and shipping the screens with high resolution. While others are just starting and trying to catch up with the technology of tablets and smartphones, there is no match in world of laptops. This is how the computers from now on should look like.
Who Is It Best For?
· Designers
It works fine for you if you are a designer but one complaint that most of the designers may have with Retina MacBook Pro is the screen which is glossy. Also the contrast and color rendering are a bit exaggerated for making the photos pop. But for running Illustrator or Photoshop for the work, this would do the trick.
Plus, it can always be powered up to 3 external displays via HDMI and Thunderbolt. But this is only recommended if the designers enjoy working with a little sound of the operating fan at maximum power. Retina MacBook Pro is the best companion for the Cinema 27-inch Display, giving the designers even more convenience and flexibility.
· Founders
If you are a modern entrepreneur, wishing to keep a close eye on the suitability and design of the company for future of the HiDPl displays and devices, you would want this 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro. It is still very light in weight and convenient enough to carry around everywhere. You can also pile on open applications and work your work on this device.
This Retina MacBook Pro is somewhat like a successful entrepreneur itself; rigid when it does not work, flexible where it really needs to be but equally comfortable doing the work. It is equipped with the enough endurance for keeping it running through the day.
· Programmers
If you are a programmer, you would find the Retina MacBook Pro very helpful and convenient with all the programming work. You can build and watch the websites without a hassle.
