thicker Curiously, and somewhat unfortunately, the 13-inch model is actually That's a boon for those who work in offices put together by sunglasses-wearing interior designers who mandated painful, ceiling-mounted fluorescents as far as the eye can see.

No, you still can't request a matte one, but glare has been greatly reduced over the standard Pro models. The 13-inch panel here uses the same bonding techniques used in the Air and the 15-inch Retina Pro to reduce the overall size of the panel assembly, meaning there's less junk up top - and less reflection, too. The same stiffness can be found in the lid, despite its thinness. Try to twist and turn the machine with all your might and you'll get no sign of weakness. The aluminum MacBook Pros have always impressed us with their seemingly bulletproof unibody construction and this latest member of the family certainly inherited healthy DNA. Taken on its own, what you have is a comprehensively powerful little machine, a beautifully engineered one to boot. Dual-core chips are found rather than quad-core beasts, and of course there's the reliance on integrated graphics that some power users will find simply distasteful. But it's safe to say that overall the 13-inch Retina Pro makes do with components that mark this as a slightly lower-rent machine than the 15-inch. Other hardware configurations differ, too, which we'll detail a little later in the review. The 15-inch Retina Pro gets a much healthier NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M Kepler assembly with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. Also, what powers that panel has changed, with the 13-inch Pro with Retina relying exclusively on integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics. While this doesn't quite match the 2,880 x 1,800 of its 15.4-inch elder, it comprehensively trounces the 1,280 x 800 panel in the older, chubbier, optical-endowed Pro. So what's different? The first is that display, now a 13.3-inch unit lined up in a 2,560 x 1,600 grid.

There's a 720p FaceTime camera plus dual microphones, stereo speakers and a display with a native resolution that's far, far greater than 1080p.

You have dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n support as well as Bluetooth 4.0 on tap for your shorter-range broadcasting needs. That sameness in connectivity options extends over to the wireless side, too. There's also still no option for cellular connectivity of any kind, so go ahead and re-up that contract on your MiFi. Also absent is an optical drive, left in the dust as progress motors ever onward. There's still no Ethernet jack (an optional $29.99 Thunderbolt adapter is available). So, when it comes to physical connectivity, you're giving up exactly nothing compared to its big brother - but you're not gaining anything, either. On the right it's the same again, with another USB 3.0 port joined by a full-size HDMI output and built-in SDXC reader. On the left side you'll find a new MagSafe 2 connector, dual Thunderbolt ports, a USB 3.0 port and the headphone jack - just like the 15-inch model. With the exception of size, these two are nigh identical, starting with the port configuration. If you're familiar with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display that Apple shipped this past June, you're already ahead of the learning curve on this model. Hardware The 13- and 15-inch Retina models are, save for size, nigh identical.

Perfect portions of portability and performance? Let's find out.

It's thinner and it's lighter than the current 13-inch Pro but promises better internals and the same battery life as the 13-inch Air. Why the wait from one to the next? That's for Apple to know and us to speculate about (supply chain concerns? engineering issues?), but the important thing is that it's available now and it is, in many ways, an uncompromised, slightly smaller rendition of the 15-inch version that came before. Now, a little over four months later, here it is. So, while we were excited to see a thinner, lighter 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display unveiled earlier this year, many of us were left asking one question: "Where's the 13-inch version?" And, since many of those laps are irrevocably linked to owners who spend their days jetting around the globe to other companies' events, those laptops are quite often the travel-friendly MacBook Air. Look down the aisles at any Apple launch event, across the laps of dozens of journalists liveblogging or in some other way documenting the goings-on, and it's inevitable that you'll see MacBooks.
