Slim notebooks are in - and there's no question that the new MacBook Pro 13 Retina fits the bill.

Let's see how well the new slim-line notebook performs in our series of tests and how it compares to its bigger brother. Alternatively, Apple offers the 13.3-inch model without the high resolution display for 500 Euros (~$650) less. Interested? The youngest member of the notebook series from Cupertino is certainly not for the frugal shopper: the price of admission starts at 1750 EurosВ (~$2275). Upgrades to 16 GB DDR3L RAM and a dedicated (Nvidia) GPU - both are options for the MacBook Pro 15 RetinaВ - are not available. For 200 Euros (~$260) more, the customer can opt for the more powerful Intel Core i7-3520MВ dual-core processor (2.9 GHz clock speed). Speaking of components: our review model comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor (2.5 GHz clock speed), integrated HD 4000 GPU, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB flash drive. The MacBook Pro 15 RetinaВ features an even higher resolution of 2800x1800 pixels and more powerful components to boot. The Apple MacBook Pro В only had 1280x800 pixels and was certainly behind the times. The new model sets a new standard for 13.3-inch subnotebooks with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixelsВ and 227 DPI. It might have been a business decision to not release the 13.3-inch model in parallel with the 15-inch Retina model - after all: the release of the bigger model certainly stirred up interest in a smaller model with a high resolution display.

It was just a question of time: after the introduction of the Apple MacBook Pro 15 with RetinaВ and subsequent releases from the competition, Apple probably reacted to the introduction of Ultrabooks like the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A, which features a Full HD display. Sources didnвЂ™t indicate when to expect to the new MacBook Pros, or how much theyвЂ™ll cost, but all signs are pointing to a June reveal.On OctoberВ 23 rd, AppleВ not only released their new tablets ( iPad 4В & iPad Mini) and a few additional updates across the product lines, but also introduced theВ MacBook Pro 13 with Retina. Ivy Bridge chips will primarily be quad-core i7 offerings, as well as some with improved power efficiency. It would mark a departure away from AMD, who have provided mobile GPUs for the last few generations of MacBook Pros and iMacs. 9to5Mac say that Apple has been testing the technology for a while, but the new MacBook Pro will be the first time it hits a shipping Apple product thanks to native Ivy Bridge support.ДЇinally, while it hasnвЂ™t been confirmed what GPU will make its way into the new MacBook Pro, references to the NVIDIA GT 650M have been found in Mountain Lion.

Software strings that have appeared in Mountain Lion back up this info, with references pointing to 5Gbit/s transfer speeds (the maximum USB3.0 supports) and two specific mentions of USB 3.0. In an interesting twist, USB 3.0 will apparently make it into the new MacBook Pro but wonвЂ™t replace Thunderbolt, instead running happily side by side.

Cupertino has been adding high-resolution graphics into Lion and Mountain Lion in preparation, with insiders saying that the new display is вЂњjaw-droppingвЂќ and вЂњdefinitely the most important Mac innovation in years.вЂќ The sharpness and clarity of the display is said to be on par with the Retina displays found on the iPhone 4/4S and new iPad. The design will otherwise remain the same, and feature the typical MagSafe port, ThunderBolt ports, and SD card reader.ДЄpple will also reportedly introduce a Retina display with the new 15-inch MacBook Pro, as has been rumored for a while.

The power button will be removed, instead located on the keyboard as is the case with the current MacBook Airs. It wonвЂ™t be as thin as the MacBook Airs, nor will it have a tapered design in order to avoid hinge issues at the larger size. First, 9to5Mac say that the new 15-inch model will be slimmer than current offerings due to the removal of the optical drive.
