Apple has introduced a new 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop that has a "Retina" display, with four times the resolution of the previous model.
The new model follows a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display introduced this summer, and will start at Rs. 114,900. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available today through Apple Authorized Resellers.
The new model dispenses with an optical drive and a traditional hard drive. Instead, it uses solid-state "flash" memory. This makes it 20 percent thinner and at 3.75 pounds, nearly a pound lighter than the previous model.
Apple revealed the new computer at an event in San Jose, Calif., where it also
revealed a smaller iPad while refreshing the bigger one and a
new iMac that measures just 5mm on the side.
