When friends ask, what kind of laptop from Apple is the best for me, I feel free to pull out of the bag your 11-inch MacBook Air. I appreciate the perfect combination of portability and performance, and for two years of use is already used to working for this machine – one designed only to be admired almost a month after buying a computer.

Perhaps my “friendship” with Air would continue for a long time, but last Tuesday I witnessed the emergence of one of the most anticipated new products this year – an updated MacBook Pro with Retina display .

While I have no way to get acquainted with the new “Proshko” live, so all this week I studied with great interest the review of our foreign colleagues. Fortunately, journalists publishing The Verge have got hold of a copy of the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina top of the range, and told him about all the pros and cons.

The incredible power of a pleasant appearance

The new MacBook Pro Retina – one of the most impressive laptops on the market. In the presence of a powerful quad-core processor, 16 GB of RAM and a solid state drive capacity of 512 GB MacBook Pro in the “top-end” configuration weighs just over two pounds. In addition, the laptop is equipped with a stunning 15-inch high-definition resolution of 2880 x 1800 at 220 pixels per inch (ppi).

Although OS X is admittedly not well suited for gaming purposes, the new MacBook Pro Retina easily pull the most demanding games. Will help him not only an impressive amount of RAM, but the graphics card Nvidia GeForce GM750M a memory of 2 GB.

With such characteristics, “Proshka” is able to perform any task you put in front of it, whether it is work in Final Cut or Aperture, or launch more power-hungry applications.

Energy-saving technologies

The new MacBook Pro Retina lasted 9:00 35 minutes on a single charge in a test Verge Battery Test, while constantly working Safari browser and surf the Internet was made for the screen brightness 65%. Full-time battery life – that is what we promised to Phil Schiller, when represented by the first Apple laptops with processors Intel Haswell.

Of course, to the performance of 13-inch MacBook Air the new MBP Retina is still very far away. After updating to OS X Mavericks owners of “air” laptops noted an increase in the time of their battery life up to 16-17 hours. During this time, three times I charged iPhone.

Pros and Cons

Among the advantages of the new device journalists are gorgeous display Retina, incredible performance and amazing keyboard with touchpad. The main disadvantages of the laptop is actually two: the high price and lack of support for Retina many programs and websites.

Is it worth buying?

Before thinking about purchasing a “workhorse”, at least roughly correlate their needs and specifications of the desired laptop. Why do you need 8 GB of RAM and a powerful processor for surfing the web or watching videos? For these purposes the perfect MacBook Air 2013. Thus, you will win not only in price but also in longer battery life.

Experts from The Verge put the new MacBook Pro 9.1 points out of a possible ten, but I would have awarded him 9.5 points. Still, the high price is not acting fundamental argument when you need a powerful portable working machine.

Autumn release an updated line of MacBook Pro, which, incidentally, can be transferred c September to October , definitely please all future users of professional notebooks Apple.

The reason for this joy can become a new graphics chip Iris Pro 5200, which Intel will provide Apple with care for its new line of laptops. As reported by SemiAccurate, Iris Pro 5200 can be attributed to the masthead class GPU lineup in the new generation of processors Haswell Intel .

The feature of this graphics chip that Intel developed it specifically for laptops from Apple. The two companies have an agreement, under the terms of which, Intel will provide exclusive rights to Apple processors with integrated chips in them Iris Pro 5200. Unfortunately, no details of this agreement shall not make public resource.

According to various sources, Apple announces a new line of professional notebooks in September-October this year. Growth graphics power – a critical factor as Apple computers have high-resolution displays.

It seems that Apple can solve the problem that she was forced to face by launching the 13-inch model of the MacBook Pro Retina last year. Let me remind you that according to many people, the first “trinashki” with displays Retina different problems at work. Because of this, the model has been recognized as an extremely crude and unfinished. But most importantly, in the Apple realized this problem and it looks like the company has a viable solution to her problem.

Waiting for updates line of professional notebooks Apple exacerbated by the fact that the first computers running Haswell processor family broke its own sales record .

The fact that the update will come this year, is almost a fait accompli, but we do not give rest to the exact date of fulfillment of the event. Recent rumors floating around the new line of MacBook Pro updates and predicted, as a result, the announcement in September of this year. However, according to the China Times, these data may not be correct.

As reported by Chinese journalists, professional updates for Apple computers should not be expected until October. It is necessary to assume that Apple will introduce update the entire line of MacBook Pro. Let me remind you that last year 15-and 13-tidyuymovye models were presented at different events, but then it was a radical renewal of the ruler. This time, Apple’s expected to update processors. The new “Proshka” like MacBook Air will be transferred to the family processors Haswell .

Do not expect a significant increase in new computers performance. The modern MacBook Pro – a fairly powerful computer, and what he did not have enough, Apple will add in the coming update. I’m talking about increasing battery life. It is necessary to assume that the new “Proshka” will be able to work for 10-12 hours on a single charge. It should be quite enough for one day.

By and large special value date of the announcement of new laptops do not have. A month earlier, a month later, the main thing about this is that Apple will not integrate with the MacBook Pro update event which will introduce new iPhone , iPad, iPod and upgrade operating systems.

Still the question remains the future of the previous generation of MacBook Pro deprived display Retina. How Apple will go with the already obsolescent models of its computers is anyone’s guess. However, the fact that the current MacBook Air gradually grow to the level of “Proshek” of the previous generation, makes you wonder about the necessity of their stay in the line of mobile computers Apple.
