Does the new MacBook Pro have an optical drive?

Quick, easy question - does the new MacBook Pro come with an optical drive? Or does one have to purchase an external optical drive if one wants one?

Depends on which one you buy. The Retina models do not and if you need one, have to purchase the external SuperDrive for an additional cost. The other non-Retina models, 13" and 15", do come with an internal slot-loading SuperDrive. There are, as yet, no more 17" models and no announcement whether they will be released later.

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Why does the new MacBook Pro 13 no longer come with a graphics card?

    Why does the new MacBook Pro no longer come with a graphics card?  Or at least make it so you can opt for one.

    I know how you feel. Your MacBook Pro has integrated graphics 384 MB or 512 MB. If you are a gamer, creative professional or just want more VRAM get a 15 inch MacBook Pro with up to 1 gig of VRAM or a windows gaming laptop with up to 16 gigs of VRAM (a ridiculous amount!). If you get a windows pc, you can always install virtual box. There is no point in buying a 13 inch MacBook Pro unless you need a lightweight laptop with all of the extra "goodies". There is also no possible way to change the graphics unless you know how to "unhook" the card from the processor and install a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Does the new MacBook Pro with Retina display have built in  IR?

    Unable to use Apple remote with the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. Does it have a built-in Infared (IR) receiver?

    No it does not. Look at the specs for it on the Apple Store website.

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013) supports 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport?

    I understand that the new Macbook Pro 15" (late 2013 with Nvidia) supports 4K screen resolutions via HDMI at low hertz. But does it support 4K via Thunderbolt/Displayport? I read on Intel's web that the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB memory in theory can support it. Would be important as a range of new 4K 32" monitors will come out over the next year. Would be great for photo, video editing etc.

    I also am very confused by this because per apple's support page it only supports 4K via HDMI at 30Hz but SHOULD support 60Hz via a mini display port 1.2 specification built into thunderbolt 2.
    However, I think it does include 60Hz support (although not mentioned on apple's website).  My evidence of this is that on the ifixit teardown they found a an Intel DSL 5520 Thunderbolt 2 controller which according to Intel's and Wikipedia's website is falcon ridge which means it should support Display port 1.2 natively.  Plus, on apple's thunderbolt page they specifically mention connecting a 4K display to a macbook pro through the thunderbolt port (not which is suggested by the support page listed above):
    "Now with Thunderbolt 2 built into the new Mac Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can connect the latest 4K desktop displays and get double the bandwidth for your peripherals. And the two generations of Thunderbolt technology are compatible with each other."
    Also, the Apple mini displayport support page has not been updated since 2012 but I believe it is just showing old information
    The BIG piece of evidence against the new macbook pro's supporting 4K through the thunderbolt port is that on apple's tech specs page they specifically mention 4K under the HDMI section but make no mention of it under the thunderbolt 2 section.

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 13 2011 work with the Intel SSD?

    I've been trying to upgrade my macbook pro to an ssd (using stock original 5400 rpm 320 gb HDD) but so far I've been reading for like 2-3 hrs and came to a conclusion. Intel is the most reliable and most highly recommended. However, Intel SSD doesn't work with the new Macbook Pro 13" & 17" because of some cabling SATA III issues. Does the issue still remain or has it been fixed? If it hasn't been fixed, what is the current most highly recommended and reliable and best in terms of speed, reliability, and just...best SSD available that works best with the 2011 MBP? Can anyone help me out? Ive been reading that OCZ and others are faster than Intel but less reliable (higher failure rates) and MBP can't take advantage of faster 6/Gbps RAID III or something. help me!!! Should I just wait?

    If you search the web, you will predominately read about problems, not good experiences.
    I don't believe Intel is any less subject to issues, than the Sandforce SSD drives.
    Buy from a reliable source with a good return policy and warranty.
    OWC is well regarded.

  • Does the new MacBook pro 13" has asymmetrical fans (that the 15" with Retina) has?

    The new MacBook Pro with retina display has more silent fans due to asymmetrical  fans. My question is, if this change has been applied to MacBook Pro 13" & 15" versions.
    Thanks.

    No it does not.....
    The only Mac with the assymetrical blades is the 15" retina MBP.
    And they are pretty darn effective(I can never hear the fans unless I open p something extremely power consuming and still they aern't as loud as my old Windows PC).
    Mind you the MacBook can get a little uncomfortable if you keep the base in contact with your skin. Otherwise the fans are excellent..

  • Does the new Macbook Pro 13" support TOSLink cable (audio out)

    I just bought new Macbook Pro 13" (April, 2010) and I want to connect my Macbook to AV receiver or home theater to decode DTS digital sound. Can I use the TOSLink cable (mini 3.5mm jack to Optical) with Macbook Pro 2010 audio out ? (My AV receiver does not have HDMI input but have Optica).
    Example of the cable :

  • Does the new macbook pro 13" with i7 usually heat up a lot?

    Hi Guys, Ive got a brand new 13" macbook pro with the i7 processor. It gets really hot when im doing something simple like watching online videos. is this usual? i only got the machine yesterday

    From a processor standpoint, watching videos is anything but "something simple." Lots of stuff has to happen to make nice movies on-screen. So the answer is "yes"--it's normal.
    The limits on my 13-inch 2012 MBP for core temps are shown as 221F/105C. What you "feel" may be warm but probably not to those levels. Macs are designed to do a safety shutdown if the internal temps get too close to the point of being dangerous.
    When watching videos, place the MBP on a firm flat surface so air gets underneath, and make sure nothing obstructs the hinge area on the back of the case. The air intakes and exhaust are both there. Don;t set it on your lap without a lab board or use it on a blanket of pillow.
    If you wish to monitor your temps in real numbers so you don't have to guess, I recommend this free utility:

    i only got the machine yesterday
    If it continues to be a concern to your peace of mind, by all means have Apple check it out. It's under warranty.

  • Does the new MacBook Pro with Retina not support Bootcamp?

    I've read a couple different reports claiming that Bootcamp is not even installed on the new Retina MacBook Pro. Is this true?

    I got Win7 loaded via bootcamp on the new MBPwR.  I think when it first came out, there was issues connecting to download the bootcamp drivers but this has been resolved.  Bootcamp wizard will ask for an os iso image, usb drive.  It will wipe the usb drive.  With Win7 Home and the bootcamp drivers, it took approx. 4.33GB on my usb drive.   You can then choose how large of a partition you want created for windows.  Once windows 7 installer loads, you'll see the bootcamp drive but won't be able to install until you have windows format it.  After windows load, it'll default to vga resolution (think 800 x 600) until you go in and install the boot camp drivers from the WindowsSupport folder of your usb.  It'll load all of the right drivers including nvidia display, touchpad, etc.  Everything seems to work well and you can even run it in full resolution (2880 x 1800) but text will be small. It'll also still push 2 external displays (I have 2 acer 23" connected via hdmi and a thunderbolt to dvi) along with the retina display.  Only concern is that it runs hot in Windows.  Got my cpu core temps to 203 degrees F with when streaming an hd youtube clip, installing cs6, and typing a word doc.  You can see the mac os partition from windows 7 and even open files but it didn't allow me to save the changes since it said I didn't have permissions to do so.   Back in OS X, if you want to read and write to your windows partition, you'll have to load up NTFS-3G, macfuse and a ntfs-3g patch for lion.

  • Does my new Macbook Pro have an overvolted I7-4770HQ?

    The brand new 15" Macbook Pro Retina I bought about two weeks ago arrived a few days ago and I was surprised on the first day when I noticed it was running really hot. At this point I decided to get a hardware monitoring program (iStat Menus) so I could try to figure out why it was running so hot and to try to avoid it reaching such a state again. Once iStats was up and running it reported that my cpu was at about 97°C. While I was perusing the statistics of my machine I noticed the vcore was at 1.77 V. This struck me as odd as most of the i7-4770k OC guides I've seen recommend a vcore of around 1.35 V. To make things a little more difficult, I have so far been unsuccessful in finding any information on what the i7-4770HQ's standard vcore rating. If anyone could confirm that the i7-4770HQ's is meant to run at 1.77 V that would be a great help, if not should I look into getting it fixed? I mean higher vcore = hotter cpu = shorter lifespan, right?
    MBPR Specs:
    i7-4770HQ 2.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU w/ Iris 5200 Pro Graphics
    16 GB Ram
    256 GB SSD Boot drive
