The MacBook Pro with Retina Display’s 2013 release date is slated for October of this year and will be the “most powerful laptop on the market” according to Stabley Times.

ChristianToday.com said that the release date for the new MacBook Pro is scheduled just before the all-important Black Friday shopping season according to ChristianToday.com.

The new MacBook Pro will have the new Intel Haswell processor, expected to increase the battery life and graphics of the computer. The MacBooks is also rumored to include a Full HD FaceTime camera.

Earlier reports have indicated that the new lineup of Macbook Pros will not ship until later in the fall due to yield problems in the Retina display devices. It has been earlier rumored that it’s the same reason why the highly anticipated iPad Mini 2 could probably have a delayed release, because Apple intends to upgrade its specs to Retina but the components are on delayed delivery dates.

Gotta Be Mobile reported that the updated processor in the Retina MacBook Pros will support 4K display. The new high-resolution displays, however, is expected to be 4x better than standard HD screens.

The MacBook Air 2013 with the Haswell processor was unveiled last June at Apple’s WWDC and since its release, sales of the device have been strong. The longer battery life of the system has been a favorite feature for many customers.

The new line up of MacBook Air starts with a $999 price tag and is available in 11 and 13-inch displays. The new Air features 802.11 ac Wi-Fi support, all flash storage starting at 128 GB up to 512 GB and longer battery life. The performance of the new Mac is enhanced by fourth generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and new Intel HD Graphics 5000.

Apple is scheduled to release the new MacBook Pro together with the OS X Maverick operating system.

Despite numerous rumors, the Cupertino tech giant will not remove the optical drives on the upcoming MacBook Pro due to demanding popularity by users, noted ChristianToday.
