The 15-inch Retina MacBook pro has received a new quad-core 2.4 GHz Core-i7 processor, replacing the previous 2.4 GHz version. The top-most model of the 15-inch MacBook now sports a quad-core 2.7 GHz processor, which replaces the previous 2.6 GHz, and it also comes with 16 GB RAM.
Although there isn’t any price decrease for the 15-inch MacBook, the upgraded processor offers more value for money.
