MacBook Pro Mid-2014 Update Offers Slightly Better CPU Performance

摘要

In July, Apple updated its Retina MacBook Pro line. While the new models are externally identical to their 13- and 15-inch predecessors released late last year, the Mid-2014 models feature slightly faster processors. These internal improvements, though modest, provide more performance bang for the buck. The new lineup includes five standard -configurations. The $1299 system has a 13-inch Retina display, a 2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor (up from 2.4GHz in the previous $1299 model), 128GB of PCIe-based flash storage, and 8GB of RAM (up from 4GB). For $1499, you get the same system with 256GB of flash storage. The high-end 13-inch model, at $1799, includes a 2.8GHz dual-core Core i5 processor (up from 2.6GHz in the previous high-end 13-inch model), 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of fast flash storage.
