Macbook Pro w/retina & Haswell Processor Upgrade

I would be stoked if this was available to save on batter life, Will the macbook pro (mid 2013) be upgradable to the new intel haswell processor, if at anytime?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you already have the MacBook and you want to upgrade it to a Haswell processor, you can't. The processor is soldered to the logic board in the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display, so you can't replace it without replacing the logic board. Also, note that OS X may not support the processor you put.
Respecting to a future MacBook Pro with Haswell processor, the last MacBook Pro upgrade was in June 2012 and it hasn't been updated yet, but Apple has always released at least one new MacBook Pro per year. This doesn't mean that this year a MacBook Pro with Haswell processor will be available

  • Connecting my macbook pro with retina display after upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion

    I have been using my macbook pro with retina display for more than a month and I can connect it to my HD Television, Fine. But since I upgraded my OS to mountain Lion, I can no longer connect it to my television.  Did apple missed something with mountain lion? I know there is nothing wrong with my connection, so something is wrong with the new mountain lion OS.  Can people from APPLE help me?

    No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum. I don't have a Retina but if you could let us know how you were connecting (HDMI>HDMI, for example) perhaps someone will be able to help you out.

  • I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina, should i upgrade to Mavericks? Or will it run slower?

    Hi, I bought a late 2013 MacBook Pro without retina  display and I want to know if I should upgrade to mavericks since I don't want to make it slower, is it worth it?

    angie.ob,
    if your MacBook Pro is non-Retina, then the newest model that it could be is a Mid 2012.
    The worth of upgrading to Mavericks depends entirely upon your priorities. What is it about having Mavericks on your MacBook Pro that appeals to you? If Mavericks in its current incarnation makes your MacBook Pro run more slowly, do you have a plan by which you can easily go back to Mountain Lion?

  • MacBook Pro 15 Retina Haswell - Long start up time

    Just received my BTO, maxed out MBP 15, 16gb ram, 2.6, 1TB ssd. It took almost 90 seconds to boot up, as well as doing re-start machine. Is this normal? Been reading the forum and seems like everyone else MBP boot up in about 20 seconds or less. Mine just came 3 days ago, came with mavericks installed. Nothing else been added other than moving my iTunes library from older MBP. Please advise, what steps I need to do to check, what to turn off (if any), etc.

    Hi, I'm having the same problem. My MacBook Pro is new and came with the Leopard 10.5. It's taking 2 min to reestart. I've already tried to reinstall the system with "erase and install", but it did not help. Even the first time after reinstalling the restart is already slow.
    Have anybody heard anything about how to fix it?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

    After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
    Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
    That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

    Did you try turning off power nap?

  • Can the hard drive in my macbook pro with retina be upgraded?

    Can the hard drive in my macbook pro with retina display be upgraded to a larger hard drive?  I have a 2.6 Ghz processor, 8 GB of Memory.  I have a 250 GB drive and would like a larger drive. Thx.

    There are two answers to this:
    No, if you want to keep your warranty on your product by doing it yourself.
    Yes, if you consider using a IT pro (not Apple) which can give you an warranty on the work done.
    Official bottom line: Apple does not support this.

  • I have the macbook pro 13" retina display. Can I upgrade my 8gb ram to 16gb? my processor is 2.5Ghz intel core i5

    i have the macbook pro 13" retina display. Can I upgrade my 8gb ram to 16gb? my processor is 2.5Ghz intel core i5

    To save space on the computer, Apple has decided to solder the memory onto the logic board on the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and that's why you can't add more memory after buying the Mac. This only applies to these computers, not for the other ones

  • Does the Macbook pro non retina also come with haswell processors.. After 22oct 2013 event??, Does the Macbook pro non retina also come with haswell processors.. After 22oct 2013 event??

    I am planning to change my Macbook pro and due to office network structure i need a macbook with ethernet port. It seems that the only option i have is the 13 inch macbook pro non retina.. I just wanted to confirm that will the basic non retina model of macbook pro will also come with HASWELL processors or not..? (After the 22 oct 2013 apple event)

    13-in remains unchanged since early 2013 update.  Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/22/apple-unveils-haswell-based-macbook-pros-with -retina-display/

  • How good is macbook pro compared to 13" macbook pro retina and is the macbook pro has haswell processor and  will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina

    will I get further updates if I buy macbook pro without retina
    I do not know what you mean by that. Any currently produced Mac is likely to be supported for as long as every other Apple product that has ever been produced. Most Apple products are relegated to "vintage" status approximately six years after which they are discontinued by Apple, meaning that the non-Retina MBP is likely to be supported through 2020.

  • Macbook pro 2014 retina 13 inch memory upgrade to 16gb which memory do i need to buy?

    I have bought resently a macbook pro 13inch retina. i went for 8gb ram and do CAD and 3d aplications. need to upgrade to 16gb ram. i do not find anywhere not even on apple store, where you can buy RAM but not still for new model. so question, anybody knows which memory i need? clearly 2x8GB moduls but which type DDR3? etc
    Greatful for any help
    Saludations Nicky

    That MacBook Pro is perfect for you, and I don't think that you need a 15-inch MacBook Pro, even if it's more powerful than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. There are some important differences between the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and the 15-inch MacBook Pro, like the graphic card or the processor, but if that MacBook works properly, continue using it

  • Upgraded standard macbook pro vs base macbook pro with retina?

    So I'm getting a new Macbook pro for college and the two I'm looking at are about the same price with different benefits. I'm looking for a versatile computer for everything I will do in college. I dont run any super intense photo programs or video editors, I just game and am a standard user. Also I plan on running bootcamp and playing some games on the computer.  It's between:
    -a Macbook Pro with retina display
        base specs of 8gb RAM and 2.3ghz processor and I would also buy an external optical drive
         The only Cons are that im not sure if 256gb SSD is enough for boot camp and everything i would be doing
    -Macbook Pro Standard 15in
       2.6ghz processor and 8gb RAM
       750gb HDD 7200rpm
    The price comes out to about the same so im really torn between a retina/portability vs 2.6ghz processor and optical/ethernet
    so basically    2.6ghz vs. 2.3ghz       and        750gb HDD vs 256 SSD
    any help?

    If you are going to load a lot of Windows games, your would probably need the larger HD.  If you are using it primarily for school work, internet then 256 SSD is probably enough.  I have a Windows partition on the retina version with 256 SSD, and have 140 GB remaining free.  But I do not game and use Windows only for Quicken.  If you are a student and are going to be carrying around your computer a lot, you might appreciate the lighter weight of the MBP with retina display.  However, other poster are correct, there is no upgrade path with either MBP.

  • Is NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor in MacBook Pro 15" retina display on motherboard

    Is NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor in MacBook Pro 15" retina display on motherboard? Or is it a separate component?

    It is integrated on the logic board. it is not separate.

  • 13" Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina Display overheats and speakers fail.

         I have the new 13" Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Have had it for a week and a half now and ever since I got it the speakers have failed completely many times. They start to crackle then stop completely. The speakers just don't respond. I have tried turning my volume all the way up, playing a song and nothing works. I have to restart or shut down the computer before it works again. My other concern is that the computer overheats too much. I am streaming Netflix or watching a YouTube video and it gets really hot. I am afraid of setting my house on fire if I dare to download a game on the MacBook. I am really concerned about the speakers more than the overheating. Is anyone else having this problem or do I just have a bad device? I think I might return it. Please help.

    Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook Pro in to an Apple retail store or service provider.

  • Upgrade apple Macbook pro with retina

    Hi, i alredy know that the ram and the flash storage are soldered to the board in the new macbook pro with retina display but i just wondering if i go to an apple store could they send my macbook pro to apple and upgrade the ram and the flash storage and then send me back??? I alredy bought it an it cost me a lot but now i have the money to upgrade the ram and flash storage can i do it that way??

    I'd rather suggest: Call Apple or take an appointment and walk into he store. They can't just turn you back. Apple can give you an upgrade even though the RAM in soldered in. They do it for the iPad all the time, tap hey simply take your unit and give you anothe and you pay e difference. They use stock that is different from the retail packages nd may run out from time to time but I don't believe you are stock with it. At the worst, you may pays bit more than the initial upgrade cost and be sure to backup before you go.
