Can i run 3 displays with 13" macbook pro retina?

I need to run 3 external displays from the macbook pro retina.  Does the 13" retina have the capability or would I need to go with the 15" retina which has the Nvidia with 1Gb memory?

you will need the 15" model

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

    Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
    Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
    Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
    Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    See the following thread on the same topic:

  • Can i run snow leopard on macbook pro puchased new in 2009?

    Can I run snow leopard on macbook pro purchased new in 2009?

    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already over $100 on Amazon.

  • Will a superdrive connected to USB on Airport Extreme be accessable via Wifi with a Macbook Pro Retina display?

    I would like to connect 2 external drives to my Airport Extreme.
    1. A standard USB 2.0 external hard drive. No issues.
    2. An Apple Superdrive.
    Will the superdrive work over Wifi with my Macbook Pro Retina display;
    Or will it only work if connected to MBP via USB port on MBP?
    Thanks

  • Dual Dell Displays for my Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013)

    So I am looking at purchasing two of the new Dell Ultrashapr U2414H monitors to hook up with my Macbook Pro Retina. I have been trying to figure out the best way to connect both of the screens before I order them and I was hoping someone on here could offer guidance.
    Connectors for the U2414H:
         1. 2 HDMI(MHL) connectors
         2. 1 Mini DisplayPort
         3. 1 DisplayPort (version 1.2a)
         4. 1 DisplayPort out (MST)
    Also, if anyone has any ideas of a better monitor that I should look into PLEASE let me know. I am very open to suggestions on what types of monitors go the best with the Macbook Pro Retinas.
    Thanks!!!!

    I have just purchased a MBPr 13" along with 2 x Dell U2414h monitors in the hope of being able to daisy chaing the monitors. If i enable displayport 1.2 on both monitors then i end up with the 2 dells mirrored.
    If i plug the monitors both directly into the mac over minidisplayport to displayport cables then i have 3 displays running (the MBPr and the 2 x Dell's). What i really want is to be able to daisy chaing 1 of the dells of the other one and then connect that one to the MBPr. But i cant work out how to stop them being mirrored.
    Anyone actually got this working?

  • Is there a display for my MacBook Pro retina that isn't made by apple and doesn't cost the world?

    Please tell if there is a display for my MacBook Pro retina that I don't have to pay tons for and will connect to my laptop!

    I just plugged my 13" MBPr in to a cheap 24" 1080p BenQ using a Display port to DVI adapter and it works fine, crisp enough for my eyes and for around £115 a bargain.
    edit: Picked it up from Amazon on a free next day delivery with Prime.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

    FWIW, iWork as such is no longer available; it is now separate applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Do you have the older (via install DVD) iWork 09 version installed? Then the new versions should show up in Updates (mac app store).
