High-resolution Retina display. Includes two Thunderbolt ports. Standard 8GB of memory. Good battery life. Supports Power Nap.
Pricey. Requires Retina-optimized apps for best user experience
The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Retina Display) is the best way to carry the pixels of a large-screen monitor with you on the road. It's ideal for people who make their living with visuals....

The new 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display 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.
Very expensive for performance level, Increased costs for repair and battery replacement, Few applications ready for Retina at this time, Performance issues with some browsing
Since the new laptop is so much thinner than the previous model, the cooling system had to be completely redesigned in order to compensate for the same-ish thermals in a smaller case. New vents have been sliced into the bottom sides of the notebook – thes...

Abstract: This week we take a look at Apple's brand new MacBook Pro with Retina display, arguably the best laptop ever made. It's thinner, it's lighter, and it's borderline insane in many ways — a whopping 2880 x 1800-pixel display, no ethernet port, no optical dri...
Abstract: 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 standard,...
This isn't a MacBook for the average buyer - the Retina display is overkill for most people, and the price premium is substantial. If, however, you're a creative professional who is constantly on the move, then the appeal is obvious. With a glorious high-...
Great screen. Apple's usual excellent keyboard and trackpad. Dual thunderbolt and USB 3.0 gives decent port flexibility. Good battery life. HDMI
The base near the monitor gets quite hot during heavy tasks. Still waiting for everything to be high DPI compatible. Weight will make some consider the Air instead
There's absolutely no doubt that the MacBook Pro Retina 13 has a beautiful display. Some will be phased by the weight and go for the MacBook Air, others will deem it to be worth it. We just wish it came with discrete graphics....
Until the next crop of ultrabooks turn up with better-than-retina displays, it's safe to say this is the laptop we'd choose if money were no object. The 15in MacBook Pro does offer more processing power, but the 13in's size and relatively light weight mea...
