MacBook Pro Retina Display 2013 Release Date: New Apple Laptop With Intel Haswell Processor Promises Exceptional Battery Life

MacBook Pro Retina Display’s 2013 release date will be on October 15, the same date the tech world is expecting Apple to release OS X Mavericks and the new iPads – iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2.

The new MacBook Pro Retina Display will be powered by Intel’s Haswell processors and will have OS X Mavericks out of the box. The new chip by Intel is expected to give the new MacBooks an “exceptional battery life” according to a report by the International Business Times in Australia.

The 7 hours of battery life for the current MacBook Pro series can jump up to 12 hours with the new Haswell chip, reported the Business Times. Once this new line of MacBook Pros is released, users can expect a full-day of battery life without needing to charge the laptop.

Aside from the battery life, Gotta Be Mobile also said that the updated processor in the Retina MacBook Pros will support 4K display. The new high-resolution displays are expected by many to be four times better than standard HD screens. It will have the highest resolution of any kind for Mac products.

Though the Sept. 10 keynote didn’t give any hints on when the new laptop will arrive, there are still hints that the new MacBooks are coming to town. One of them is Best Buy’s move to slash prices of the current MacBook models by up to $200.

The tactic is usually applied to unload inventory of what will soon to be an older model of a particular gadget or device.

The new MacBook Pros is also expected to have OS X Mavericks out of the box. Both the OS X Mavericks and the MacBook Pro were supposed to be released last September 10 when the new iPhones and iOS 7 were launched.

But the International Business Times earlier reported, the day before the September 10 keynote that consumers waiting for the new MacBook Pro retina display with Intel Haswell processors would have to wait until October to get the device.

According to 9 to 5 Mac, the delay on the OS X Mavericks release is caused by Apple focusing on the iOS 7 launch. The mobile OS will officially be available for download on September 18. The Cupertino tech giant was in a rush to get the iOS 7 off the table. The blog site said, that after iOS 7, Apple will now be able to focus on the OS X Mavericks.
