11 photos of the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display

By Drew Prindle Published October 29, 2013

Check out our review of the Apple MacBook Pro (2013 edition).

Apple dropped a bomb today at its press event in San Francisco – not only will the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros be faster, thinner, and better than the previous generations, they’ll also be $200 cheaper. Start gawking. In terms of look and feel, not much has changed. The new MBPs are still rocking the classic Apple aesthetic, but both sizes have gotten a bit slimmer and lighter. These are just minor improvements though – the real changes are under the hood. Both models will sport fourth-generation Haswell processors and new integrated graphics – Intel Iris in the 13-inch model and Iris Pro in the 15-inch model. These hardware improvements will reportedly give battery life a significant boost, and graphics capabilities that Apple claims will match the performance of some discrete GPUs.

Check out our full post on on the new MacBook Pros for further details.

MacBook Pro M4 teardown shows a repairability rut for Apple laptops

The updated slate of MacBook Pros, powered by the M4 series silicon, has once again established Apple’s performance dominance in the segment. However, a teardown courtesy of the folks over at iFixit has confirmed that not much has changed internally, which means the usual repairability snags are still here.

Starting with the new elements this time around, Apple engineers seem to have redesigned the logic board, increasing the heatsink size and shifting a few component locations. The ports are easy to replace on the new laptop, and the battery is repair-friendly as well.

Hurry! The M4 MacBook Pro just got an unheard of discount

Someone using a MacBook Pro at a desk.

The 2024 MacBook Pro with M4 chip hasn't even been out for a month, but it already has its first major discount. Amazon just knocked $200 off the 14-inch configuration, dropping the price to $1,399 from $1,599. While a $200 discount on a MacBook isn't world-shattering, the fact that this laptop is so new makes this an unheard of deal. Let's dive into some other noteworthy aspects of this sale.

Why you should buy the MacBook Pro M4
This specific configuration of the M4 Pro has a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. The 16GB of RAM is particularly noteworthy, as it's the new standard for Apple. That makes this a better deal than some of the M3 models with 8GB of RAM. This model of course comes with Apple's signature Liquid Retina XDR display on its 14.2-inch screen, and it's ready for Apple Intelligence.
