Does the macbook pro with retina display get heated?

Hi I want to buy a macbook pro with retina display and i want to know more informations about it...like:-
1-does it get heated.
2-can I play any game without buying graphics chip.
3-does it run 64-bit download.
4-can order it with a CD slot.
5-can i upgrade to a new graphics chip.
6-if i will need a graphics chip what will i need it for.

1.  It will if you run heavy-graphics processing such as HD-movie streaming or gaming.  But the system should shut itself down instead of overheating. And if you keep the system on a flat hard surface (rather than on bedsheets), it should be able to keep itself cool enough to not overheat.
2. Any, no.  Many more than a 13 in that only has integrated gragpics chip in CPU, yes.
3. Not sure what you mean.
4. No.  You need an external optical drive.
5. No upgrades, not even RAM or flash storage.
6. Simple internet only requires basic graphics processing.  Streaming HD movies from NetFlix requires faster graphics response.  Gaming requires faster graphics response.  Faster graphics response requires a better graphics chip than the one integrated into the CPU, one with its own RAM.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display come with a CD slot?

    Would anybody know if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a DVD slot to put a CD in?

    If you read the specs on them you will discover that the MBP is way more powerful then the MBA. The big feature of the MBA is light weight. If you need a powerful computer then you want the MBP instead.

  • Does the MacBook Pro with retina display have a cd drive?

    I'm looking into buying a new laptop. But I'm pretty sure that the Macbook with retina display doesn't have a cd drive. But the normal MacBook has one. Is this correct.

    The retina display Macbook Pro does not have a cd drive. See the specs http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/

  • Does the MacBook Pro with Retina Display have a CD burner?

    I ordered the MacBook Pro earlier this week without checking if it even had a CD burner. It's really not a big deal if it doesn't have one, but I would just like to know. Does anyone have a MacBook out there or knows whether or not the one with Retina Display has a CD Burner?!

    No

  • How does the MacBook Pro with Retina display scaled resolutions work?

    How does it work? I think I have the basics figured out; is this correct (by this, I mean below)?
    It is a scaled resolution (1/2 I think of the actual display resolution) therefore, the size of the pixels would be equivalent to 1440 x 900, but each pixel that is represented on screen is actually 4 pixels, therefore making it look sharper, so things are physically the same size if it would be an actual 1440 x 900 screen, but it looks sharper on the Retina display because each pixel is actually 4 pixels?
    Thanks

    Actually you could get student discount from apple and a 10% dicksmith with limited time and I think jb hi fi gives even better discount. But lets see what other people think?

  • How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hello there,
    I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
    Thanks!

    One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

    No one here works for Apple nor does Apple visit this message board.  We are all end users like yourself helping each other out.

  • Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air

    there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • What is the tax percentage on the Macbook Pro with Retina Display in the US

    I am interested in buying the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I would just like to know what the tax percentage of the price is when buying in the US???

    The price quoted does not include tax which is determined by the state/city where sold.  There is not a Federal tax as in Europe with the VAT.
    State taxes can run 3-10% or somewhere in that range.

  • Powernap Issues the Macbook Pro with Retina Display

    I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.  I have noticed that every time I wake up the MBPR from sleep, I have lost the blue indicator lights that illuminate on the  dock when an app has been set to run by clicking its icon on the dock. Furthermore, every time this happens I have noticed that I lose the system sound for putting items in the trash and the system sound for emptying the trash.  If I reboot the MBPR, these problems disappear, i.e running an app from the dock illuminates a blue light beneath it on the dock and I have system trash sounds. However, the moment I put the MBPR to sleep the next time I wake it up both of these problems are back.
    I finally traced this issue to enabling PowerNap on my MBPR.  Anytime PowerNap is enabled I have these two problems occur when waking my MBPR from sleep.  If I disable PowerNap in System Preferences, then I no lnoger lose the blue indicator lights for running apps in the dock and I no longer lose the system trash sounds upon waking the MBPR from sleep. 
    I believe Apple has a bug in the PowerNap funciton that may be specific to the MBPR.  I would appreciate hearing form other MBPR owners if they have observed the same problems upon waking their MBPR from sleep with PowerNap enabled.
    Tom

    Thanks for responding.  Interestingly enough the only sound effects that I have lost with PowerNap enabled have been those involving the trash, and I also am using PowerNap enabled only while plugged into AC power and not on battery .  Other sound effects play promptly.  I have not found PowerNap to be of much use in any case and since disabling it has resolved the issue for me, I'll just leave it disabled until there are further updates to ML and see if they address the issue for me.
