Apple MacBook Details
The mid 2017 Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful, yet thin at 0.59" and lightweight at just 1.4 kilos. This system is powered by a 7th Gen Kaby Lake 2.50 GHz Intel Core i7 dual-core processor that features a burst speed of up to 3.6 GHz, while 16GB of 2133 MHz LPDDR3 RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently-used files and programs.
Retina Display
The 13.3" IPS Retina display features a WQXGA 2560 x 1600 screen resolution with a 227 ppi pixel density. It has LED backlighting with a maximum brightness of 500 nits, and it includes support for the P3 wide colour gamut. This helps ensure truer-to-life pictures with realistically vivid details, essential for graphic design, colour grading, and editing.
Graphics
Integrated Intel Iris Graphics 640 delivers a sharp, clear picture, and you'll also be able to output video to an external display using the system's Thunderbolt 3 ports, which feature native DisplayPort output.
One Thunderbolt 3 port can support one multi-panel 5K display at resolutions up to 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz, or dual 4K displays at resolutions up to 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz, each of which are able to support over a billion colours.
Storage
For long-term storage of your files, this MacBook Pro is equipped with a 256GB SSD, with sequential read speeds up to 3.1 GB/s and sequential write speeds up to 2.1 GB/s.
If you want to add external peripherals, dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support bi-directional transfer speeds of up to 40 Gb/s, while also supporting 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 and device charging.
Wireless
802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi is built-in for wireless networking, and Bluetooth 4.2 technology will also allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals.
Battery
Up to 10 hours of battery life (from new, actual performance may be less) is available for tasks such as iTunes movie playback and web surfing.
Thunderbolt 3
Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2 allows you to connect up to two 4K displays simultaneously or one multi-panel 5K display. The MacBook Pro has two ports, sharing one dedicated bus.
Other Features
Other integrated features include a 720p webcam, dual microphones, stereo speakers, a 78-key backlit keyboard with 12 function keys and four arrow keys and an ambient light sensor.
