History

On June 11, 2012, at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, Apple presented a new third-generation MacBook Pro, marketed as "MacBook Pro with Retina display" to differentiate it from the updated models of the previous generation released the same day. The new model includes an Ivy Bridge chipset with USB 3.0 and a high-resolution 15.4" Retina display with 2880x1800 pixel resolution. Among other new or modified features are a second Thunderbolt port, an HDMI port, and a thinner MagSafe 2 adapter. The new model omits Ethernet and FireWire 800 ports, although Apple announced Thunderbolt adapters for both interfaces at the time of launch. It also lacks a SuperDrive, making it the first Apple professional notebook since the PowerBook 2400c to be marketed without an integrated optical drive. The new model is equipped with an SSD unit as standard rather than a hard disk drive. Apple also claims to have improved the speakers and microphones and implemented a new notebook cooling system with improved fans. The MacBook Pro with Retina display largely follows the style of the previous generation with its aluminum frame and separate black keys. The power button is now positioned on the keyboard rather than in the upper right corner of the chassis. With a thickness of 0.71 inches (18 mm), it is 25% thinner than the previous model. The screen features a thinner bezel, and the model name is now positioned on the lower part of the chassis rather than below the bezel.

Trivia

• The 2012 MacBook Pro Retina was the first Apple professional notebook since the PowerBook 2400c to not include an integrated optical drive (SuperDrive), marking a revolution in laptop design. • With a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels on a 15.4" screen, the Retina display represented revolutionary technology that offered unprecedented visual quality in the professional laptop market. • Often overlooked, the relocation of the power button from the top edge of the chassis to the keyboard itself demonstrates Apple's attention to ergonomic details and innovative design in its products.
