Storage
This MacBook Pro is equipped with a PCIe SSD. Compared to SSDs and SATA, this technology provides a higher sequential transfer rate. It also features a 512 GB of flash storage, where ME874LL/A has higher flash storage.This is already a major improvement from the hard drives which were used in the older generations. Since this is faster flash storage, it is still utilized up to this day on many models and stands.
Screen Size and Resolution
This MacBook Pro has a glossy 13.3” color widescreen LED-backlit display with 2560×1600 pixels native resolution at 227 PPI or 178-degree viewing angle. Its actual screen space is almost compatible with 1280×800 resolution, but most icons and texts viewed are sharper. They work well even without adjustments.
Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
This MacBook Pro has a pre-installed MacOS X 10.9 (13A2093), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 4288U processor and an integrated Intel Iris 5100 graphics processor that has the same memory with the system similar to its predecessors such as the ME864LL A.
Memory & Architecture
There is a significant improvement in the battery runtime of this model with its “Haswell” 64-Bit architecture. This has become commonplace for most home computers out there. Any application installed on this MacBook Pro is guaranteed to run faster with its 256k level 2 cache and a 3 MB Level 3 cache plus 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM of RAM.
Battery Life
This MacBook Pro comes with higher and longer battery life. It has a 71.8-watt-hour lithium polymer battery that can provide 9 hours of wireless web use according to the press release of the company.
Battery Life
While limited, the operating system of this MacBook Pro is upgradable from its pre-installed MacOS X 10.9 (13A2093) up to the latest MacOS X. The model can also host the Windows OS 7 and accommodate an operating system which is as high as that of Windows 10 similar to the successors such as ME867LL/A.
It is pivotal to choose the right RAM at the time of initial purchase because it is not upgradeable. This is already made clear by Apple during their configuration process.
