Apple upgrades its Retina MacBook Pro laptops

Technology giant Apple has recently released an updated series of MacBook Pro Retina laptops, equipping them with faster Haswell processors, high-resolution Retina display, and increased storage capacity. The update of the laptops comes just in time before the commencement of the school season.

The cost of the newly-updated range of MacBook Pro laptops still begins at $1,299 for the 13-inch model, and $1,999 for the 15-inch model.

However, the upgraded 13-inch MacBook Pro model boasts a 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory and 128 GB of flash storage; while the 15-inch model has now been updated with a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB memory.

The new processors of the MacBook Pro laptops are expected to bring about an improvement in the battery life of the upgraded 13-inch and 15-inch models to nine hours and eight hours, respectively. In addition, Apple will allow users to configure MacBook Pro laptops with up to 1TB of flash storage.

With regard to the MacBook Pro upgrade, Philip Schiller - Apple's SVP for Worldwide Marketing - said: "The MacBook Pro with Retina display gets even better with faster processors, more memory, more affordable configurations and a free upgrade to OS X Yosemite this fall."
