Device Info
On February 13, 2013 Apple introduced a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display offering faster processors than those available in the Late 2012 models. The Early 2013 machines share most of the features of the Late 2012 models: a 2880x1800 LED-backlit display, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics processor, and the same external ports. The Early 2013 MBP Retina 15" has two USB 3.0 ports, an SDXC card slot, an HDMI port, and two ThunderBolt ports. It does not have Ethernet or Firewire ports, although adapters are available. The MagSafe Port has also been replaced with the MagSafe 2 port allowing for a thinner case design.
The most common repairs with the 15" MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 laptops are replacing a dead battery, replacing a malfunctioning left or right fan, or a damaged display assembly.
