About this MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro a1425 with Retina display is Apple at its best. As the company continued its production in early 2013, it introduced the MacBook Pro ME662LL/A Retina Display with a Core i5 processor with 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM and 256 GB flash storage. This model is a combination of a beautiful high-resolution LED-backlit 13.3” widescreen 2560×1600 “retina” display with a thin, sleek case design.

While this unit looks like the previous model, it is lighter and thinner. You can find further device specifications and capabilities for this 13 inch MacBook Pro below.

Storage

The MacBook Pro features a 256 GB SSD of 6 Gb/s specs lower than ME874LL/A. The unit has flash storage instead of a hard drive. Upon initial purchase, it is already configurable to 512 GB or 768 GB for an additional fee. This is already a major improvement from the hard drives which were utilized in the older generations. Due to its faster flash storage, it is still being used in today’s models and devices.

Screen Size and Resolution

Apple MacBook Pro “Core i5” 2.6 13” Early 2013 has a 13.3” superb screen with Retina Display. Its native 2560×1600 resolution is what sets it apart from other models. It showcases the IPS technology with a 178-degree viewing angle, a significant upgrade from common monitors. It is ideal for heavy gaming and watching. It is always recommended to check the specs of the machine against the requirements before making any decision. If the specs of the current mbp are lower than the one recommended for the gaming or any other activity, it is recommended to have a look at its successors.

Common questions

Is ME662LL/A the same as A1425?

Not exactly. ME662LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A1425 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What MacBook Pro is model A1425?

A1425 is the Apple A-number shown for this MacBook Pro family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 2672 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.

What macOS versions work with this model?

Use the model identifier, release year, and processor family from the spec table when checking macOS compatibility. Compatibility can change as Apple releases new macOS versions.

What should I search if this page is not the exact configuration?

Search the order number first when available, then compare the A-number, EMC, model identifier, year, chip, RAM, and storage. The same A-number can cover more than one configuration.
