Has the Retina MacBook Pro finally come of age?
Fast Haswell processors ; Fantastic Retina screen ; Thunderbolt 2 ports ; Good range of bundled apps
No integrated optical drive ; No matte screen option ; No discrete graphics in this model ; Expensive ; Almost impossible to user upgrade
Intel's latest chip and Thunderbolt 2 make Apple's Retina display laptop the one to beat.

The new Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display (Late 2013) is almost upon us. But before the launch of the 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, it's high time to take a closer look at the world's current finest notebook computer – the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro with...
Retina display; fast SSD; quad-core processor; dual Thunderbolt
Lost ethernet and FireWire ports; not upgradeable
The new Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display (Late 2013) is almost upon us. But before the launch of the 2013 version of the Retina MacBook Pro, it’s high time to take a closer look at the world’s finest notebook computer – the 15-inch Apple MacBook...

At $1,699, the new Retina Pro is much more expensive than Apple's other 13-inch laptops, but it offers an incredible high-res screen.
The new ; adds a screen that's nearly as high-res as the 15-inch version, making for incredibly crisp text and images. The slimmer body feels much more modern, and the excellent keyboard and trackpad remain.
Considering that this looks and feels a lot like the 13-inch MacBook Air, you may be in for a bit of sticker shock, especially as the base model only includes 128GB of SSD storage.
While the Retina MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air.

Though Apple quietly discontinued the 17-inch MacBook Pro this week, hardly a tear was shed. In fact, the company went out of its way to replace the ultra-premium tier with something even more...
Best display ever for a laptop ; Much thinner and lighter than previous Pros ; Powerful new Ivy Bridge chipset ; USB 3.0 and HDMI out!
Screen still prone to glare ; Apps and website not yet optimized for Retina display ; Chassis gets notably hot in processor-intensive situations
Good love is on the way

Last year when I wrote about the new MacBook Airs I offered two forward looking paragraphs:
For years we’ve been pushing OEMs to focus on better displays, and for years we were given cost and customers-don’t-care as excuses for why we don’t get them. That’s all starting to change.

There's no doubt that Apple's 2012 MacBook Pro is a great piece of kit. Its Retina display and Ivy Bridge CPU are the main attractions, but its keyboard and overall build quality are still among the best in the business and make this laptop a worthy...
Excellent screen Sturdy build quality Great keyboard Runs quietly
Some noticeable warmth Screen reflections can be annoying

Apple's impressive new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display is considerably thinner yet includes significantly improved performance and features.
Apple said the MacBook Pro with Retina Display is the best computer it has ever made and we have to agree.

The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display is more tempting in the flesh and many MacBook buyers will up sell themselves to the pricey machine once they put their hands on it. There's no doubt that the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display sets a new...
Here is Apple’s MacBook Pro with Retina Display video overview. Yes, it’s pretty much an extended commercial, but it is worth watching.
Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
This is a great machine. It feels extremely solid and well made and the performance is excellent.
I'd prefer it if the keys didn't click so much as I keep annoying my wife, tapping away whilst watching TV!
