“Completely changes what you expect from a notebook.” As it took the wrapping off the mini iPad, Apple also revealed a new 13″ MacBook Pro with shiny Retina screen.<\/p>\n

The new Retina screen (already on iPhone 4S and iPad) boasts 4 million pixels onto its 13-inch display, or almost twice the pixels density of a HD TV at 227 pixels per inch, and has a 178-degree wide viewing angle. <\/p>\n

Apple say the super bright screen ups the ante in the notebook race, already suffering at the hands of tablets like the iPad. <\/p>\n

“With vivid colours, razor sharp text and more pixels than anyone else’s 15 or 17-inch notebooks, the Retina display completely changes what you expect from a notebook,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior VP, Marketing. <\/p>\n

The new Apple is also more mobile, 20% thinner at 1.9cm and at 1.62kg, weighs almost half a kg lighter than the current model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The 13-inch MacBook Pro is our most popular Mac, and today it gets completely reinvented with a new thin and light design, fast flash storage and a gorgeous Retina display,” Schiller said at the Apple launch in California, yesterday.  <\/p>\n

The 13-inch Retina display uses IPS technology for less reflection and better contrast than the current generation, meaning it’s better for outdoor use. <\/p>\n

Under the bonnet, the Macbook Pro features a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor but has the option of a faster 2.9 GHz Intel i7 processor, for a bit more cash. <\/p>\n

The new Apple notebook also has Intel HD Graphics 4000, 8GB of 1600 MHz memory, and the option of a max of 768GB of flash storage (min. 128GB), which it claims is up to four times faster than rival notebook hard drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The new Pro runs OS X Mountain Lion, iCloud storage, and promises “up to” 7 hours of battery life. Connectivity wise, the 13″ Apple has two Thunderbolt ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and a new HDMI port. <\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

It also sports a FaceTime HD camera, dual microphones, improved speakers, three-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a MagSafe 2 power port.<\/p>\n

The MacBook Pro is available now (with Intel Core i5 and 128GB of storage) starting at AUD$1899, with 256GB storage AUD$2199 at Apple Online Store (http:\/\/store.apple.com\/au), Apple’s retail stores and resellers.<\/p>\n

Configure-to-order options include faster dual-core Intel Core i7 processors and flash storage up to 768GB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
