Storage

This device comes with 256 GB of PCIe-based flash storage soldered to the motherboard (unable to be upgraded). The storage speed of the hard drive is estimated between 1151/1544 MB per second.

Screen Size and Resolution

This MacBook comes with a 12-inch screen that runs at 2304 x 1440 and incorporates the new TFT LED-Backlit active-matrix “Retina” display. This allows for millions of colors to be displayed clearly as the pixel density is 226 pixels per inch. This ensures that individual pixels are not easily detectable at a normal viewing distance. With IPS technology this device also supports other resolutions such as 1440 x 900, 1280 x 800, and 1024×640.

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

The pre-installed operating system on this device is MacOS X 10.12.5 (16F2073). Apple also made a return to Intel for the provision of a graphics processor with the Intel Integrated HD Graphics 615 graphics processor replacing the HD Graphics 5300 used in the early 2015 model. This processor shares the memory of the onboard 8 GB 1866 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM.

Memory & Architecture

The device features a 4 MB Level 3 cache and an upgraded RAM to an 8 GB 1866 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM from the 8 GB 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM that accompanied the early 2015 version (cannot be upgraded). This is centered around a 64-Bit architecture.

Battery Life

The device comes with a 41.4 W h Li-Poly battery that can provide up to 10 hours of “wireless web” use, 12 hours of “iTunes movie playback” and “30 days” of standby time. A 29W USB-C power adapter also accompanies the device.

Available Upgrades

The RAM and onboard external storage are fixed without the option of upgrading. The 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of onboard PCIe-based flash storage are only available to upgrade at the time of purchase. The device is approximately 0.14 – 0.52 inches thick and weighs 2.03 pounds making it thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air series.

The MacBook Pro includes the following features and ports:
  • Standard AirPort (802.11ac)
  • Bluetooth 4.2 provides optimal low energy usage for quick PAN (Personal Area Network) connections and transfers and is also backward compatible with lower Bluetooth devices
