SSD storage speed has doubled and there's the new Force Touch trackpad. The mini DisplayPorts can drive a 4K monitor at 60Hz rather than the old model's 30Hz. So if it looks the same as last year's model, what's new? It has the latest Intel Broadwell 5th generation CPUs and Intel Iris 6100 graphics for a speed boost. The display bezel isn't overly large, unlike the MacBook Air, and the keyboard is as ever excellent. The lines are clean, there are no visible seams, and it's curvy in the right places and straight on the sides to make it look sturdy and elegant.
Is that a bad thing? Not really since it's still one heck of an attractive and well-made unibody aluminum laptop that somehow still looks fresh. And it looks pretty much the same as when Apple released the design in 2012. The 13" MacBook Pro with Retina display is new (again). In Chief (twitter: 2016: read and watch our review of the late 2016 13" MacBook Pro that replaces this model.

What's Not: If you want a touch screen, you won't find it in Mac land. What's Hot: Faster CPU and graphics than the Ultrabook competition, same lovely Retina display, excellent Force Touch trackpad. For example, you might press to fast-forward a video and press harder to speed it up more.Home > Laptop Reviews > 2015 13" Retina MacBook Proġ3" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (early 2015) Editor's rating (1-5): The MacBook Pro has a new, non-mechanical Force Touch trackpad, which provides tactile feedback and can detect various levels of force. The only external change is something you can't see: the way the trackpad works. Sure, Apple has outed the new MacBook which will attract the thin-and-light laptop die-hards, but those of us requiring power, ports and all of the rest would have still appreciated a slightly slimmer model. The 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina was 25% thinner than its predecessor, and it made a huge difference to that machine's portability and overall appeal. It's a shame that Apple hasn't shaved even a millimetre or two off the MacBook Pro with Retina's chassis. Still, even on the four default resolutions there's plenty of room for even the most screen-intensive pro apps, and OS X Yosemite's divisive design looks much better on Retina displays than it does on lower density screens.
Text is too tiny to be legible at that setting, but opting for one in-between, such as 1,920 x 1,200, lets you fit much more of spreadsheets and other apps into the display than any of the default screen resolutions at the expensive of clarity. Apps like SwitchResX allow you to access even higher resolutions than OS X allows, stretching all the way up to 3,360 x 2,100. The screen resolution is 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, but you actually get the screen real-estate of a 1,280 x 800 pixel-resolution display due to the pixel-doubled effect that provides Retina-like sharpness. Looks familiar? The external design is unchanged from the 2014 model That means two Thunderbolt 2 ports, a USB 3.0 port, a headphone jack and a MagSafe 2 port on the left, and a second USB 3.0 port, SDXC card slot and HDMI 1.4 port on the right. The 13-inch Macbook Pro hasn't had a radical redesign, and its shape, dimensions, weight and port configurations are identical to the outgoing model. Luckily, you may still have a 5K standalone monitor to look forward to even without buying a new Mac. That's especially the case if you're, for some reason, repulsed by the move to USB Type-C, as we're unlikely to see an alternative to the new interface style on the next MacBook Pro given Apple's recent history with the 12-inch MacBook. Sure, Apple will inevitably phase out the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display (early 2015) at some point, but even then, its legacy will not be forgotten. With the right credentials, you could save up to 15% on a brand-new MacBook as a student or educator if you buy right now. In an attempt to cash-in on the back-to-school season, Apple is finding its own ways to push MacBook sales without the advent of new hardware. While one company has made multitasking a breeze with a triple-monitor expansion for laptops, another startup is aiming to make your present MacBook Pro configuration more capable using an external graphics solution, a useful tool for trying out the best Mac games. Moreover, MacBook Pro excitement from third-party accessory makers hasn't ceased either. Other new features you'll soon be able to experience with your year-plus-old MacBook Pro include Universal Clipboard for copying/cutting/pasting across different Apple hardware, unlocking your MacBook Pro using an Apple Watch, improved photo categorization and – finally – Apple Pay.
