The new model uses a MagSafe 2 power adapter (which has a smaller plug than the original MagSafe), is rated at 7 hours of battery power, and uses Bluetooth 4.0 along with 802.11ac WiFi for wireless connectivity. The Retina MacBook Pro splits the ports between the right and left sides, something earlier MacBook Pro models could not do because of the built-in optical drive. The Intel GPU uses 384 MB of system memory, while the GeForce GPU has 2 GB of dedicated video memory. When both GPUs are present, the MacBook automatically switches between GPUs on the fly. This is the second MacBook to use Intel Iris Graphics, and it’s coupled with Nvidia GeForce GT 750M graphics on the 2.4 GHz model.

There is no way to install more than 16 GB of memory.

Best of all, Apple uses the same port for USB 2.0 and 3, while the standard in the PC world is separate ports for each protocol. There are a lot of USB 3 drives on the market, and they are far more affordable than Thunderbolt drives. The improved USB specification is over 10x as fast as USB 2.0 and has half the bandwidth of Thunderbolt – and one-quarter that of Thunderbolt 2. That’s MacBook Air thin, but unlike the Air, this model doesn’t have a wedge design.Īlso like the MacBook Air, the Retina MacBook Pro does not have a built-in optical drive and uses SSD instead of a traditional hard drive.Īs with newer MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, it has built-in USB 3. Retina MacBook Pro) remains the thinnest MacBook Pro at 0.71″. The MacBook Pro with Retina Display (a.k.a. Again 95% of people are 100% fine here but I don’t know what your doing.Nine months after the Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Apple moved forward with more power and twice-as-fast Thunderbolt 2 technology in July 2014. Also if you do something that requires heavy read write (not normal use but beyond normal use) OWC can run hot and extended use “could” be an issue. Keep in mind that there are a few gotchas with OWC drives, in 95% of cases they will be 100% fine however if your only looking to go from 128GB to 256GB EBaying a used OEM Apple drive may be cheaper (even 512 GB if you get lucky cost is comming down)Īlso the higher sized OWC drives are 2 Raided drives stuck together and the OS while it will inst to it just fine and will read it as one drive Bootcamp Will Not so if you use bootcamp OWC is not a good plan. Here is where it gets fun if a bigger drive is what you need then OWC or Apple is your source you can’t really just get a Samsung drive (yay for proprietary SSD port, there are converters though if you do some googling for Samsung drives that appear to work on pre 2015 systems but again I would ask someone else or google it I haven’t tried this one yet just know of it) Replacing th drive is crazy simple and can be done in 5 min as for the special screwdriver they talk about amazon the damn thing or if you go OWC they will include it ( I got mine from Homedepot as part of a screwdriver set) Now that you have given the 1/2 truth from Apple how about the truth.
