The design is not the only thing that makes the MacBook Pro a MacBook Pro. Fastest mobile processors and up to a 60 percent boost in graphics performance endow you with incredible power to do more than ever. Faster than ever. The MacBook Pro is also loaded with powerful new features, such as blazing fast Thunderbolt I/O technology, FaceTime HD camera, Multi-Touch trackpad, 802.11n wireless technology, long lasting battery and more, making a great notebook even greater. The 13-inch MacBook Pro model features 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, the fastest mobile dual-core processor available. With Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6GHz, these processors bring more power to everything you do. And you can configure it to be even faster. The new integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor boosts performance by up to 60 percent. That extra power gives you a smoother, more fluid experience than before. It's still highly efficient, too, so you get long battery life when you're out and about. The Multi-Touch trackpad is the most natural way to interact with what's on your screen, and the smooth glass surface gives you plenty of room for gestures. Pinch to zoom in and out, swipe to flip through photos, rotate to adjust an image, and much more. The buttonless design lets you click anywhere. And if you're coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

Q: What year is this MacBook Pro?

A: I own the identical model (MD101LL/A) and it’s a mid-2012 Mac laptop. It has served me extremely well. No problems.

Q: is this laptop upgradeable...... memory, HD, OS, and or graphic card? do it come in retail box and can I get apple care for it? Is it still under apple warrenty?

A: Like most apple products it was designed to not be upgradable. With apple laptops you can only upgrade the RAM, same with most of their towers as well. The ram is only upgradable to 16gb on this model, and its from 2012 so its not going to be great RAM... I would get a tablet over this laptop and regret this purchase.

Q: Can you download apps like Netflix on it

A: You can watch Netflix, on the Internet. Like you would be able to on any other computer… If you’re thinking of an app widget from a mobile device, like an iPhone. I’m not sure. Then again, I would also say no.

Q: Are the MacBooks available to walk in and purchase?

A: I wouldn’t see why not I purchased this online though
