2013-10-22
I'm Dan Akron and we are at apple's press event where they have announced a very anxiously awaited update to the macbook pro line of laptops first it came to macbook air earlier this year then very recently to the imac now the macbook pro at least a version with the retina display has Intel's fourth-generation core i series processors sometimes known by the code name as well and that means they are now up to date along with most of the other premium laptops that we've seen in the second half of 2013 now what these Intel chips give you is marginally better performance better integrated graphics than you had from previous generations but more importantly better battery life in our benchmark tests with already released systems that have these new CPUs prove that you do get much better battery life in fact the 13-inch MacBook Air ran from the same 12 hours on our battery drain test apple says that the 13 inch version of the retina MacBook Pro is going to run for nine hours and the 15 inch version is going to run for eight hours and of course you get largely better performance you do get that super high res screen you get a bunch of the up other updates that we've seen come to both macbooks and some other laptops this here 802 dot 11ac I've got the faster PCIe version of your SSD memory so that's a little bit quicker you've got Thunderbolt 2 in the 13 inch version of the macbook pro with retina display you've got an Intel Core i5 processor yet four gigs of RAM in a 128 gig SSD and in the 15 in person they bumped that up to a core i7 and a 256 gig SSD which they chiefly described as a quarter terabyte of storage space one very interesting thing they did the same thing with these models they did with the 13-inch MacBook Air they actually cut the price it's now 12 99 for the 13 inch version and 1999 for the 50 inch version and these guys are available immediately I'm danocrine and that is the new macbook pro with retina display
