MacBook – BTO/CTO – MacBook10,1 – A1534
About This MacBook
The a1534 device is a BTO/CTO device that is nearly identical to MNYF2LL/A and MNYG2LL/A. We have listed this device separately as it has been configured with an upgraded processor when compared to the base models. This has been done to make it easier to catalog as well as easier to read.
This device was the first MacBook to be released in 2017 and comes with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Skylake processor (I7-7Y75) and a 12-inch screen. The aluminum casing also comes in more colors than previously available such as space grey, gold, and a rose gold finish. There was also an improvement in the battery life of this device. The graphics processor has also been improved to the Intel HD Graphics 615. Further device specifications and capabilities can be found below.
1.4 GHZ Core i7

256/512 SSD
10 Hours
Storage
The storage for this device includes 256/512 GB of PCIe-based flash storage soldered to the motherboard (cannot 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 of 226 pixels per inch. This ensures that individual pixels are not easily detectable at a normal viewing distance. With IPS technology this device can also support other resolutions such as 1440 x 900, 1280 x 800, and 1024 x 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. 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, 11 hours of “iTunes movie playback” and “30 days” of standby time. A 29W USB-C power adapter also accompanies this device.
Upgradeability
The RAM and onboard external storage are fixed without the option of upgrading. The 8 GB of RAM and 256/512 GB of onboard PCIe-based flash storage is only available to be upgraded at the time of purchase. This device is approximately 0.14 – 0.52 inches thick and weighs 2.03 pounds making it thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air series.
Inclusive Features
The MacBook 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
- 1 USB-C port for connectivity
