Apple Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina 2.3GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 512GB - ME294 Laptops

Overview
Stunning Retina display. Millions of pixels ahead of its time.

The 15-inch model has over 5 million pixels, and the 13-inch model has over 4 million. So you can retouch your photos or edit a home movie in HD and experience an astounding level of clarity. Text is razor sharp too, so even everyday things like browsing the web and revising a document are better than ever. It’s a display worthy of the world’s most advanced notebook.

New high-performance technologies. Together they make quicker work of everything.

With fourth-generation dual-core and quad-core Intel processors, the latest graphics, PCIe-based flash storage, 802.11ac WiFi* and Thunderbolt 2, MacBook Pro with Retina display delivers unprecedented performance — all around. So whether you’re browsing a website or building one, streaming video or editing it, MacBook Pro flies through the most complex (and not so complex) tasks with incredible power and speed.

Thin. Light. Powerful. There’s innovation in every nanometre.

MacBook Pro packs a lot of power into not a lot of space. Apple designers and engineers reconsidered each detail of every internal component to maximise performance and minimise size. As a result, these notebooks are the thinnest, lightest and highest-performance MacBook Pro models we’ve ever made.

Powerful apps included. Get straight to work. And play.

Every new MacBook Pro comes with better-than-ever versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. So you can be creative and productive right from the start. You also get great apps for email, browsing the web, sending texts, making FaceTime calls — there’s even an app for finding new apps.

OS X Mavericks. The world’s most advanced desktop operating system.

OS X is what makes Mac a Mac. It’s designed to be intuitive and easy to use. It features an amazing collection of apps you’ll use every day. It includes advanced technologies that boost performance and battery life. And thanks to iCloud, it makes your Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch work wonderfully together.
