Make the most of every Millisecond

With the fastest mobile processors available and up to a 60 per cent boost in graphics performance, you'll do more than ever. Faster than ever.

Hyper-Threading technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. For example, on a quad-core processor, OS X recognises eight virtual cores so the processor can spread tasks more evenly across them.

Turbo Boost: Processor-intensive applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro benefit from extra power. And Turbo Boost provides it, automatically increasing the speed of the active cores - up to 3.7GHz. So your work just goes smoother and faster.

MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

It's a whole new vision for the notebook. The all-new MacBook Pro started with a blank slate - without the constraints of legacy technology. That gave Apple the freedom to imagine something radical, something entirely different. A notebook so thin, so light and so powerful. A notebook designed for the future, but ready to use today. The all-new MacBook Pro changes the entire notebook experience. What you see onscreen is unbelievably sharp. Everything you do is lightning fast. And if you can imagine it, you can create it. Welcome to the future of pro performance. A Retina display with 5.1 million pixels. An all-flash architecture. In a design that's just 1.8 cm thin and 2.02kg. It's not just the most advanced notebook Apple have ever made, it's the most advanced Mac Apple have ever made.
