MacBook Pro 2015 (Retina) - 13" Buyer's Guide

In March 2015, the MacBook Pro 13-inch (Retina) received a significant refresh with updated internal specs and major hardware feature: an all-new Force Touch trackpad. The new trackpad added a force sensor that accurately measures finger pressure, registering taps using haptic feedback to simulate a click. Other updated specs included fifth generation Intel Broadwell CPUs, Iris 6100 graphics, faster flash storage (twice as fast as previous model), faster RAM, and up to 10 hours of battery life. The early 2015 MacBook Pro 13-inch could also be configured with a dual-core 3.1GHz Core i7 and up to 16GB RAM. This also marked the end of the third generation MacBook Pro design, with a drastically overhauled model (featuring only USB-C ports) introduced the following year.
