Apple launches 0.71" thick next-generation MacBook Pro with 15" Retina display
Calling it "the most beautiful computer we have ever made," Apple on Monday announced what it has dubbed the "next-generation MacBook Pro," an all-new ultra-thin professional laptop with a high-resolution Retina display.
The new MacBook Pro is as thin as the MacBook Air, at just 0.71 inches thick, Apple said. And it's the lightest Pro ever, weighing under 4 and a half pounds.
The new model has a 15.4-inch display with a resolution of 2,880 by 1,880 pixels, packing in 220 pixels per inch. Like the iPhone and iPad before it, the new Retina display has pixels so small that Apple says your eyes cannot discern them. Apple has boasted that the next-generation MacBook Pro has the world's highest resolution display. It was unveiled on Monday by marketing head Phil Schiller at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
