Can the late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" power 2 external Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors at full resolution?

Hi, I'm looking at buying the current Macbook Pro Retina 13", but I'd like to use it with 2 Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&kc=305&l=en& oc=U2713HM-Black&s=dhs&sbc=dell-u2713hm
My plan was to use the the thunderbolt ports to the monitors DisplayPort plug. Can the 13" Macbook Pro drive 2 external screens @ 2560x1440 I'm happy to shut the macbook lid if necessary.
If the 13" can't do it, can the 15" model with it's discrete graphics card?
The Dell UltraSharp U2713HM – it’s everything you could want in a 27” monitor – screen brilliance, comfort and eco-consciousness all rolled into one
27-inch (diagonal) VIS with LED backlight
WQHD resolution, 2560 x 1440 at 60 Hz (Max)
178°/178° ultra-wide viewing angle
In-plane switching technology
Customizable brightness from 50 to 350 cd/m²
Factory calibrated color report
More than 99% sRGB (deltaE < 5)
DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI, DVI and VGA and USB 3.0 ports
Pivot, tilt, swivel and height adjustable (115mm)
Arsenic-free glass and mercury-free LED panel
Why not the Apple Thunderbolt screen, well I prefer a non-reflective screen in the office, but If I can't do it with the Dell's can it be done with 2 27" Thunderbolt monitors from the 13" Macbook Pro?

In a word, yes.
The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13'' Power Issues

    I'm having a really hard time diagnosing if I'm even suffering from this problem or not. I have the  Mac Book Pro 13" Retina Display 8 GB / 512 GB model and having the POWER problem. This issue came after updating OS X MAVERICKS . 
    Some time it work some time not work . mostly i work in night and after proper shut down at morning time i press power button it not going to ON. Many time i tried but same result. I went in MAC store they check same time it working and they told me there is no any issue. But again same issue i am facing , i make a video of this problem but i don't know what will i do with this , it is in warranty on 8 month . But Mac store is saying there is no issue. any body please help me to solve this issue.

    The issue with my late 13" MBP Retina was a hardware issue. No software update can repair a broke antenna, and faulty airport card and logic board.
    My pings to local gateway was looking like this though:

  • Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?

    Anyone else having extra long delivery time for the late 2013 macbook pro 15" 2.6ghz 1tb model?
    As of today feb 15 i have been waiting for 78 days. Finland doesn't have an official apple store (only authorized resellers) It was my mistake because i should have bought from apple.com. But i think 2.5 months is too long and i have no information about when i can get it..

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15' will not boot an external disk from a Mid-2012 MAcbook Pro. What should I do?

    In order to simplify moving all my files from the previous mid-2012 macbook pro 15' when moving to my new late-2013 macbook pro, i superdup-ed the full hard-disk to an external ssd. Unfortunatelly the new mac resuses to boot from this external disk (i get the grey disk with a line over it). The external disk works just fine so if I boot the new mac from its internal SSD I can read/write the external disk without problems.
    Old OS X is 10.9 as is the OS on the new mac.
    What I need to do is to boot the new mac from the external ssd, use the same superduper to copy the external content onto the internal ssd.
    How can I solve this issue?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you made a backup of your files with SuperDuper, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your files from the external drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user account with the transferred files, so you may want to merge both user accounts > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
    The Late 2013 MacBook Pro uses a special OS X Mavericks version which makes OS X compatible with it, and older OS X versions do not work with it. That's the reason why you cannot start up from the external drive created from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

  • Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Kernel Panic - Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina

    Hi Apple Community,
    I've owned a Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina (2.0Ghz/8GB RAM) for merely a month now and just within the last week alone I have encountered around 5-6 Kernel Panics which is starting to concern me as this is my very first MacBook Pro.

  • Duel microphone holes on the late 2013 MacBook Pro 15"

    Are you meant to be able to see the duel microphone holes on the late 2013 MacBook Pro 15"
    It shows them on the tech specs on the apple site and most other places I've seen, but mine doesn't have the holes.
    Is it also common that pages, numbers and keynote were not automatically installed when I bought it new?
    When setting up the new macbook I got an email saying;
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13"
    However it is a 15"... Should I be worried? I bought this off the online store.

    If you do what I said - "Go to the bottom of the page and click on the Mics button." you will see the description - "under the speaker grille"

    I have recently had my early 2013 Macbook Pro retina replaced with the late 2013 model and found that the screen brightness  at maximum is (or appears) to be somewhat less?
    Can any anyone help?
    Regards

    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 256 GB SSD costs $2,000. 
    The low-end 15” rMBP with a 8 GB or RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,300. 
    With 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD it costs $2,500.
    The high-end 15” rMBP with a 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD costs $2,600.
    All cost $500 dollars more with a 1 TB SSD.
    So the SSD size is not a differentiating factor unless you prefer 256 GB.
    If you think you need 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD then you might as well spend the extra $100 for the high-end model.
    The high-end model will make a difference on gaming and graphics-oriented applications.
    They tend to run other applications at about the same speed.
    Both models are rated with 8 hours of battery life.
    Benchmarks on PhotoShop comparing memory sizes:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5659174?tstart=30
    The speed was about 10% different between 8 GB and 16 GB models.
    On other applications your mileage may vary.
    Application benchmarks:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2059215/15-inch-retina-macbook-pro-review-a-tale -of-two-laptops.html
    The low-end and high-end performed the about the same on non-graphics oriented applications.
    Graphics oriented benchmarks:
    On the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark the high-end was about twice as fast.
    On the Unigine Heaven Benchmark benchmark they ran at about the same speed.
    On the Unigine Valley Benchmark benchmark the high-end was about 1.5x as fast.

  • How to install system on late 2013 macbook pro retina ?

    Hmmm .... I need help.
    I deployed a 10.9.1 from a new MBA image to the new 15" MBPr .... not a good idea. It won't boot because of the special build that the late 2013 requires.
    So the original recovery HD is gone, so can't go that route. Now I need help badly. How to get the darn thing to bootup .... or how to start over ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Late 2013 MacBook Pro comes with Internet Recovery, which can be used without needing a Recovery partition. To start up in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, and reinstall OS X. You will get OS X 10.9.1, and the Mavericks installer will create the OS X Recovery partition.
    Your MacBook Pro requires a special OS X 10.9.1 build that is not available for any other Mac, and you cannot install the "normal" OS X 10.9.1 version on your MacBook Pro. Apple will fix this in a future update, when your MacBook Pro and all other Macs use the same OS X build.

  • Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" Thunderbolt to DVI Connection to Samsung 24" - Static screen upon wakeup

    Hi,
    My Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retain 13" is connected to the Samsung 24" Samsung via Thunderbolt/DVI connector.
    Upon wake up from sleep mode, the Samsung monitor displays a static screen.
    Any idea what the cause maybe and how to fix it? - Right now I have to unplug and plug back the thunderbolt to fix the issue which I find annoying to do. Any better solution out there?
    Thanks alot!

    In a word, yes.
    The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

  • Just got a new "late 2013" Macbook Pro Retina, want to install Windows! (Newbie!)

    Hello everyone!
    I am brand new to the Apple Community and would like to pick at some brains here!
         I just recently bought a new "late 2013" Macbook Pro here and would like to run Microsoft OneNote on my macbook. I have 2 predictaments though!
    1. Which Windows OS is recommended? I searched around and seem to have found that alot of people are having issues with the Windows 8.1 version. Should I just stick to Windows 7?
    2. Also, I know that the Macbook Pro does not have an optical drive; what is the best way to go on about getting the Windows 7 ISO onto a thumbdrive? Would I have to do it through another computer and burn the ISO on the thumbdrive there? Or is there a way to purchase Windows from my Macbook and download from the sellers website and just run Bootcamp to burn the image onto there?
    Thank you and I look forward to joining this community!

    I am new to the community as well but have been an apple genuis for a while.  The way I put windows on my mac (late 2012 pro) last year was I bought windows 7, and used bootcamp to install it.  I would have someone at best buy or a tech store do it for you though. If you dont want to pay $200 for windows 7, you can just buy an app called parallels (also at like a best buy) and use that.  I believe it is around $75 but not sure.  Hope this helps

  • TS1713 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" Power Cable Black Gunk (Ink-like)

    Hi folks,
    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" and I bought a spare power adapter for it (85w). Today I went to pick up the cable and my hands were covered in a black gunk. I looked down and the cable had ink-like gunk on the cable? When I went to rub it off, the white coating to the cable seemed to be burned off and showed a tan undercoat.
    Nothing was spilled on it or anything, it was just on the floor near my computer (not near anything that could burn the cable or something).
    Has anyone had this happen? What the heck happened?

  • HT5634 Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina only support Windows 7 (Trying to install 8.1)

    I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) trying to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) via Boot Camp on USB with an ISO. Upon downloading Windows support software, I'm greeted with a pop-up that says: "This Mac only supports Windows 7, do you want to continue?" However, upon further investigation, according to Apple's website, it says my model is officially supported for Windows 8.1 What's going on here?
    Boot Camp: Version 5.1.2 (481)
    OSX Version: 10.9.2
    Thanks!

  • Late 2013 macbook pro retina battery question

    I just bought the new macbook pro retina 2013 (first macbook!) I wanted to know what I can do to extend the life of the battery. Right know, I start charging the battery once it gets to about 60%. I keep the charger plugged in when im at home and left the battery discharge at uni. Would doing this having any advatange or disadvantage for the battery?
    Also once the battery reaches 100%, would it overcharge if it is kept plugged in? or would it just start to use the power from the adapter instead of the battery
    Anyother tips?
    Thanks

    Look at these links.  They will provide you with all the information you need regarding MBP
    batteries:

    csupinski is 100% correct, the OS will not allow the MBP battery to be overcharged.
    Ciao.
