About this model
Launched in October 2012, the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, touted as the "MacBook Pro with Retina display", stood apart from its predecessor. It boasted standard solid-state storage (SSD), an upgrade to USB 3.0, an extra Thunderbolt port, HDMI, and a high-resolution Retina display. It is roughly 25% slimmer than the earlier version. The model name is now found on the underside of the chassis, akin to an iOS device, marking the first time a Macintosh notebook doesn't display its model name during normal use.
The introduction of this sleeker MacBook Pro brought about considerable alterations. It did away with the Ethernet and FireWire 800 ports, the Kensington® lock slot, the battery indicator button & light on the side of the chassis, and the DVD drive. The charger was changed too, with the introduction of the new "MagSafe 2" port.
In 2016, the design of the Retina MacBook Pro underwent another transformation, with the debut of the Touch Bar in certain models. The Trackpad also experienced a revamp, becoming 46% larger than in previous versions. The most contentious change of all, however, was the elimination of all ports except for either 2 or 4 Thunderbolt-3 ports.
