Overview

15 in. quad-core MackBook with Retina Display and 256 GB of storage.

The 2015 MacBook Pro has more power behind every pixel, more than any other previous MackBook before it. This 15 model features over 5 million pixels on Apple's groundbreaking Retina Display, for an absolutely stunning effect. That's nearly 3 million more pixels than a 60 in. HDTV. This spectacular 2,880-by-1,800 resolution lets you see more of your high-resolution images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. And text is so sharp; you'll feel like your'e reading email, web pages, and documents on a printed page. But a beautiful and fascinating display is only the beginning, the 2015 15 in. MacBook Pro features a new force-sensing trackpad, all-flash architectures, and powerful fifth-generation Intel quad-core processors. Together, these features take the notebook to a new level of performance. And they will do the same for you in everything you create.

Retina Display
When you pack so many pixels into a display – over 5 million on the 15 model – the results are positively stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels. Images take on a new level of realism.

The Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality. Its high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks and whiter whites. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you'll see the difference at practically any angle. And you'e going to love what you see.

Force Touch Trackpad
With Multi-Touch in OS X, you can use realistic gestures like swiping or pinching to switch between apps, navigate your content, and get the most out of your desktop space.

The Force Touch trackpad on the 15 in. model takes all the capabilities of Multi-Touch and adds force sensors that detect subtle differences in the amount of downward pressure you apply. This lets you have a deeper connection to your content, bringing more functionality right to your fingertip. It also introduces haptic feedback to MacBook Pro  allowing you not just to see what's happening on the screen, but to feel it.

Advanced Intel Mobile Processors
With the fifth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, the 15 MacBook Pro with Retina display lets you take your most performance-hungry apps on the road. That means wherever you can take your camera, you can take your entire digital photo studio. Hyper-Threading technology, which enhances performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks simultaneously, is included in every model. And with speeds up to 2.8 GHz, 6MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 4 GHz, these processors are ready for just about anything.

High Performance Graphics
The 15 MacBook Pro with Retina display features Intel Iris Graphics 6100 to handle both everyday tasks and graphics-intensive creative apps. Scroll through large photo albums with ease. Play games with amazing detail. Even connect an external display or two. It's just another way this 15 in. MacBook Pro is small on size but big on performance.

The 15 in. MacBook Pro has a phenomenal display – with the graphics power to match. Its fourth-generation Intel Core i7 processor features Iris Pro Graphics with 128MB of embedded memory, which accelerates demanding graphics tasks by acting as an ultrafast cache. For even more impressive graphics performance, choose the 15 in. model that combines the power of Iris Pro Graphics with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X. Thanks to 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, you'll get even better performance when playing high-resolution games, editing video in Final Cut Pro X, or rendering images in pro graphics applications.

Long-Lasting Battery
The 15 MacBook Pro lasts up to 9 hours between charges, an hour longer than previously. That's impressive battery life for any notebook. But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display, state-of-the-art processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it's absolutely remarkable. The built-in battery gives you up to 1,000 full charge and discharge cycles.

Ultrafast All-Flash Storage
Thanks to the superfast read and write performance of the PCle-based flash storage, you'll notice a difference in whatever you do. Starting up is really fast, apps launch quickly, and navigating the desktop feels fluid and responsive. The 15 model features flash storage that's 2.5 times faster than the previous generation, letting you import huge photo libraries in no time flat. And since these MacBook Pro models come with up to 1TB of flash storage, you can keep all your important files with you. In addition, flash has no moving parts, so it's super durable and quiet.

Audio and Visual
You haven't heard it all until you've heard the speakers inside MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these speakers might sound too good to be true. That's because we labored painstakingly over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear.

Dual built-in microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you'e making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice – instead of the noise around you.

Powerful Apps Included
Out of the box, MacBook Pro is already a document-creating, number-crunching, presentation-sharing, photo-editing, movie-making, and music-producing powerhouse. That's because it includes six powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand – all of which have been beautifully updated for OS X Yosemite. Not to mention all the other incredible apps, including Safari, Mail, and iBooks, which are perfect for the things you want to do and the things you need to do. And, of course, there are thousands more apps to discover at the Mac App Store.
