11 photos of the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display

By Drew Prindle October 22, 2013

Check out our review of the Apple MacBook Pro (2013 edition).

Apple dropped a bomb today at its press event in San Francisco – not only will the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros be faster, thinner, and better than the previous generations, they’ll also be $200 cheaper. Start gawking. In terms of look and feel, not much has changed. The new MBPs are still rocking the classic Apple aesthetic, but both sizes have gotten a bit slimmer and lighter. These are just minor improvements though – the real changes are under the hood. Both models will sport fourth-generation Haswell processors and new integrated graphics – Intel Iris in the 13-inch model and Iris Pro in the 15-inch model. These hardware improvements will reportedly give battery life a significant boost, and graphics capabilities that Apple claims will match the performance of some discrete GPUs.

Check out our full post on on the new MacBook Pros for further details.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is coming up soon, and everyone's expecting a huge announcement around AI. But don't worry, according to a report from AppleInsider, there are some practical tweaks coming to macOS 15 that are in the works. Notably, the System Settings app is set to receive the biggest changes, with other menus and app UIs also expecting some rearranging.

The last update to the Settings app happened with macOS Ventura, changing the name from System Preferences to System Settings and shifting to an iOS-style design, a change that ruffled the feathers of diehard Mac users. This time, the organizational system will reportedly be based on "priority and overall importance."

Microsoft announced a new Surface Laptop at an event on May 20 that's got everyone talking. Part of the new Copilot+ PC platform, the Surface Laptop now runs exclusively on Qualcomm's ARM-based Snapdragon X chipset, with a clear aim at Apple's MacBook Air M3.

That new Surface Laptop should be a faster and more efficient laptop, inching closer to the MacBook Air M3. But the MacBook's efficiency has been proven. Will the Surface Laptop live up to its promise as a legitimate competitor?

MacBooks may get very strange (and exciting) in 2026

Apple's first all-screen foldable MacBook has been rumored for many years, and it's finally getting closer. Reports from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggest Apple plans to release its first foldable as early as 2026.

According to Kuo, Apple is considering both 20.25-inch and 18.8-inch panels that, when folded, would equate to a 14- to 15-inch MacBook and a 13- to 14-inch MacBook. Previous reports estimated a 2027 release for these all-screen MacBooks, but Kuo's latest information suggests we could see them as early the first half of 2026. And now that Apple has introduced its M4 chip, it's little surprise that these future devices are expected to run on M5 series processors.
