Which generation for the current macbook pro 13?

Which generation proccessor the macbook pro 13 normal and retina currently selling in apple store?
Which should I go for?

vzhen,
you can get the non-Retina model with either a 2.5 GHz Core i5 or a 2.9 GHz Core i7 Ivy Bridge CPU. You can get the Retina model with either a 2.4 GHz Core i5 Haswell, a 2.6 GHz Core i5 Haswell, or a 2.8 GHz Core i7 CPU.
You should go for whichever model best meets your requirements.

    Yes, it is in the United States and Canada. In other countries, the LL will be something else.

  • Current 13 inch keyboard layout is it the same as the  current MacBook Pro

    Iv'e been looking at a refurb 13 inch Air and noticed the enter key is the same as the current MacBook pro. Is this the current layout or the old style
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think you are referring to the Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook. It's an Unibody computer, and this MacBook has got a non-replaceable battery. You have to take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery replaced.
    The steps of the link you gave are for non-Unibody MacBooks Pro, that have got a replaceable battery. In this case, you have to buy the battery from the Apple Online Store

  • I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

    What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
    Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

    If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

  • Will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

    will there be an anti-glare screen for the new MacBook Pro?

    Hi j,
    Apple rarely announces upcoming hardware upgrades, so we'll probably just have to wait and see if that's something that happens in the future with the retina line. In the meantime, you can express your desire for one here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Which of these cables is better for the current Macbooks?

    I have a 2008 Macbook, with the mini displayport that can't output audio. I decided to rectify this by buying this cable, which combines video from mini displayport and audio from USB into an HDMI cable:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt20.html
    now, I might be getting one of the new Macbook Pros that will be coming out in the next month or so, or one of the current models if the new ones take too long. so i'm wondering if I should replace the cable I have with one of these:
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/mdphdmi10ft.html
    or
    http://www.kanexlive.com/products/iAdaptV2.html
    should I go ahead and get the upgrade? I figure it would be an improvement since those give better quality audio. I'm also wondering how my current cable would perform when plugged into a MDP that send audio on its own. could that cause a problem, since I would be out putting audio through 2 ports into the same cable? also, I wonder if the newer cables might have any problems due to getting power from the MDP instead of USB, I don't know whether that makes a difference or not.

    It doesn't matter which one you get since the Atom CPU has a 667MHz FSB.
    If you install 800MHz RAM, it will simply run at 667MHz.

  • Non-Glossy screen for the 13" MacBook Pro...the 13" MacBook Air has it!?!?!

    Sorry if this has already been discovered, but I just realized.....Why isn't there a Matte option for the screen on the 13" MacBook Pro? The 17" has always had it with an upgrade, the 15" now has the option for the upgrade, but why not the 13"??? I was trying to think what it would look like and then realized.....it would look like the MacBook Air......RIGHT? Because the MacBook air doesn't have a black frame around the screen, and its not glossy, and is the same 13" 1280 x 800, so why not bring that option to the MacBook PRO? (On second thought, I'd also like to have a 1440 x 900 option even though the fonts will be even smaller! lol I love screen space!)

    As someone with 20 years professional experience in digital imaging, both in video and stills, Photoshop retouching, Quark press work, and working with everything from Binuscan to Shake, having supervised thousands of press checks and taught thousands of personnel in everything from Newspapers to video Post-houses as a consultant and trainer, I love the glossy screens for the color saturation, rich blacks and fine detail rendition.
    That said, the many years of glossy Sony, Barco and Mitsu/Lacie CRT screens have taught me to use hoods and proper lighting; this goes for matte LCD screens as well, where ANY pro color-critical work should be done with a hood, such as the Hoodman or Think Tank products. That said, I have no problem in airports, outdoors, etc. using any of my glossy screen MPS, I find a properly calibrated glossy screen on these to be, at least with the latest iteration of the glossy screens available on the Unibody MBPs, eminently usable for pro color work.
    The point is, at least for me, that anyplace I'd need to worry about glare and reflections on a glossy screen MBP, I also have to worry about the same on the matte screen. For example, my wife now uses my previous generation MBP matte-screen 15" LED backlit model. This is the case when I use hers when out and about. Pro work CAN and IS done by many pros who PREFER the glossy screen MBPs to their matte screen counterparts, and manage to get pro quality work done more easily on them, as it suits their taste, and somehow manages to produce results avery bit as professional as pro users on matte-screen MBPs. I know I'm in the minority here, with regard to pros who prefer glossy screen MBPs to matte-screen ones.
    Since I am, after all, in the pro minority, I agree that Apple NEVER should have removed the matte option, and I'd be happy to have, and think it's the ethical thing to do, Apple not only offer matte screens on all laptop products from now on, but that they RETURN to making glossy displays on MacBook Pros (and MacBooks, for that matter) an EXTRA-COST OPTION, and make matte screen displays the standard. That's the fair and logical thing for Apple to do, and I wouldn't mind at all paying for being in the Pro minority by paying an extra $50.00 USD, or even $100.00 over a standard matte-screen display in any and al of the Apple laptop line.
    The matte screen's no longer what I use on my laptops for pro work, and i prefer it that way. But I know, too, that if Apple suddenly yanked the glossy displays with NO Option AT ALL of buying a MBP with a glossy display, I'd be freakin' livid. So I empathize with those pros, and anyone else, who prefers matte screens but who've been unfairly 'locked out' by Apple from paying the same as glossy screen laptops on the 15" and the 17" UMBPs and having NO glossy option on the 13" UMBP. Makes no sense at all, to quote Husker Du. ;^) BUT- pros who prefer the glossy display MBPs (I've owned all 3 unibody MBPs, with and without the superior quality latest-generation displays- the 13" MBP, the 15" MBP and the 17"), should, IMO, have at least the option to purchase the glossy display, at least as an extra-cost option. THAT would make the most sense, since the majority of pros who use UMBPs prefer the matte screen, and that vast majority should not only have the matte-screen option, but the matte-screen discount as well!

  • Looking for a 12v charger for the 13" macbook pro

    looking for a 12v charger for the 13" macbook pro

    There are a number of 12V chargers available for the MBP but I prefer to use a 12V Inverter which allows me to use the provided chargers for my laptops and IOS devices both in-car and whilst out sailing.

  • When will Firefox have support for the new MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a 2880x1800 resolution and is not going to work well with the current version of Firefox. I am running Firefox 14 Beta; is there any news on when you will update Firefox to be compatible with new display?

    This no longer works on Nightly build 2012-08-14 :(

  • What cases are good for the new macbook pro retina display 15"

    What folio cases are out there that don't damage the new macbook pro retina display 15" I keep looking but can't find any, they all seem to have serious negative reviews

    be specific,  hard case or CARRY CASE?
    hard cases are not recommended, trap in dust and junk and trap heat
    A great carry case, and best made for the money are those made by INCASE as seen in Apple stores and amazon.com

  • 7200 rpm vs. 5400 rpm for the new MacBook Pro?

    Hi there,
    I'm ready to buy one of the new MacBook Pros. I was going to go for the 15" 2.0 GH. There's one thing that's difficult to decide. Should I go for the 7200 rpm HD upgrade?
    In principle it would seem that the default 5400 rpm HD would act as a bottleneck for the new and powerful CPUs. I heard some people say, though, that the 5400 rpm HDs are fast enough and that I would not notice any difference. Therefore, spending the extra money on a faster HD would be a waste.
    There is also the concern about battery life. Would a 7200 rpm HD reduce the battery time considerably vs. a 5400 HD?
    Since this would be my work computer, I would not want to sacrifice performance. So, if there is no significant difference in battery life and a considerable gain in performance, I would definitely go for the 7200 rpm option.
    What is your experience and/or opinion? I'm anxiously waiting for your response so that I can go ahead and enjoy the new Mac Book Pro.
    JM

    Thanks for your prompt response japamac. Interesting results. I wonder whether the results for performance, battery usage and temperature for the 7200 rpm that comes as an option in the Apple store would be similar to the ones you got for the 7200 rpm HD you used in your test.
    One question, since the difference is quite remarkable in the synthetic tests for "Media Center", I'm curious to know what real life applications would that relate to.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Is the current MacBook Pro right for me?

    I'm looking into purchasing a 17" MBP, 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM and 7200 RPM 500GB HDD.
    Now, I'm trying to tiptoe around this subject as speculation is frowned upon here, so please forgive me if I happen to accidentally cross any sort of speculating line.
    Anyway, I need a machine that's portable (not ultraportable), able to smoothly and easily work with large audio/video/image files (Logic Studio, Final Cut, Photoshop, etc), and occasionally do some gaming. I'm sure this particular MBP would be able to do the trick.
    HOWEVER, with all the rage regarding Sandy Bridge processors and a possible MBP refresh soon, one thing has got me curious. (Sorry for the speculating here.)
    My understanding is that the current MBP has integrated as well as a dedicated video card, and IF a Sandy Bridge MBP was released, it would be switched to integrated video. Basically, I'm wondering if these integrated graphics would be a negative thing for someone like me. I know in the past, integrated graphics have been less than stellar.
    I also understand that Sandy Bridge features great energy saving and performance upgrades, which are of course welcome. I'm not impatient, so I can wait for a refresh, but if it's going to have a negative impact on what I need it for, I'd rather get a hold of the current MBP while I still can.
    As I said, I apologize for any speculation or "bad things" in this post.

    Great posts guys! Thanks.
    I am aware of the recall, and like I said, I've got no problem waiting. I believe Intel has already announced they will start shipping again soon. An interesting note here. Since only the four SATA II connections on the board were faulty, the two SATA III connections were fine, some manufacturers may still use the "faulty" boards. I don't think I'd be bothered too much by connections that I'd never be able to use not working properly. Assuming no other problems would arise.
    Anyone have any more input on the dedicated/integrated graphics situation? Could Apple still include a dedicated graphics card along with these Intel integrated graphics?
    Thanks again!

  • Should i get the current MacBook Pro or the new design MacBook pro 2012?

    Dear all,
    GImme some opinions which to choose? Should i wait for the supposedly new design MacBook Pro? or get the current models that hae pretty good specs? I'm doing college at the moment and my current laptop is 4yrs old in need of a new one and hopefully get the 17" MBP coz the specs seem amazing. I'm doing graphics and multimedia so i would need a laptop that can handle all those stuff and be fast. So gimme some ideas what you think abt the current MBP and the soon to come new models? which is something pretty doubtful.

    Hold off the buying. The current unibody macs are the last of the generation. A geenration that's in it's 4th year.
    You might want to consider upgrading your current hard drive only to an SSD if your mac supports it. You can then move this over to your new mac. That's what I have done, and the speed difference of an SSD makes it feel like a new machine.
    I would also suggest you buy a 15" and not a 17" save your money. The 17 is loking carrying a surfboard around.

  • What is the best keyboard case for the 15" Macbook Pro Retina?

    I currently just bought the new 15" Macbook Pro Retina display to replace my old 2007 Macbook 13" however I am reluctant to use it until I find a keyboard cover.  I have read many forums already and tried the Moshi keyboard cover (which didn't fit well at all) however I still cannot decide which keyboard cover to use.  So far I have found two keyboard covers that look O.K. any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
