The glossy panel does catch the reflections from overhead lighting, but this is common with most laptops and remedied by adjusting the panel. We measured a maximum brightness of 350cd/m2, which means you can use this at 75 per cent in home and office environments. You may need to access the display settings and scale the resolution depending on the apps you use. High-res photos and videos get the best out of the panel, but not all websites and programs are optimised to take advantage of the Retina Display just yet. With 220 pixels-per-inch, the MacBook provides outstanding clarity, colour replication and viewing angles. The MacBook Pro ships with a crisp 2880 x 1800 resolution. No flagship Apple device is complete without the firm's trademarked Retina Display technology. Our entry-level unit featured Intel's Core i7 (2GHz) processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, priced at 1699. The 15in MacBook also ships with Mavericks OS X and a host of bundled apps including iWork, Maps and iBooks. The late-2013 refresh introduces Intel's 4th generation (Haswell) chipset and 4-channel PCIe-based flash storage on the hardware side.
Apple's MacBook Pro laptop range combines high performance with long-lasting battery life, and the latest model continues this trend.
