The new models are rated at 7 hours of battery power, and they use Bluetooth 4.0 along with 802.11n WiFi for wireless connectivity. The 13″ MBP design puts all the ports on the left side, leaving the right side for the SATA SuperDrive. This is one of the first Macs to use Intel HD 4000 Graphics, and the Intel GPU uses 384 MB of system memory. The base 13″ model now runs a 2.5 GHz dual-core Core i5 processor (with Turbo Boost to 3.1 GHz) and has 4 GB of system memory and a 500 GB hard drive with an $1,199 price tag, while the “better” version moves to a 2.9 GHz i7 CPU (3.6 GHz with Turbo Boost), doubles system memory to 8 GB, and includes a 750 GB hard drive.Īpple offers a few build-to-order options: Upgrade system memory from 4 GB to 8 GB for $100 on the base model, and/or choose a higher capacity or faster hard drive or an SSD. The 2012 MacBook Pro adopts Intel’s newest, more efficient Ivy Bridge processor technology, which incorporates Intel HD Graphics 4000 (up to 60% faster, according to Apple) in the CPU. The new HD camera also supports today’s widescreen displays, and the native screen resolution of 1280 x 800 is the same as before.

There’s also an improved webcam, the 720p FaceTime HD camera with three times the resolution of previous MacBook FaceTime cameras. Best of all, Apple uses the same port for USB 2.0 and 3.0, while the standard in the PC world is separate ports for each protocol.
There are a lot of USB 3.0 drives on the market, and they are far more affordable than Thunderbolt drives.
The USB 3.0 specification is over 10x as fast as USB 2.0 and has half the bandwidth of Thunderbolt. For the first time, Macs have built-in USB 3.0 support.
