Two Options: Professional or Home Repair.MacBook Pro features a sealed 95-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery that gives an estimated battery life of 8 hours of wireless web. It’s a cutting-edge technology that utilizes a 22-nanometer process that launches a one-two punch of better performance and refined energy efficiency. This design doubles the battery life of your Mac.

This functions through a 64-Bit Haswell or Crystal architecture.

Memory & ArchitectureĪny application installed on the a1398 MacBook Pro is guaranteed to run faster with its 256k level 2 cache and 6 MB Level 3 cache plus 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM for its RAM.

This helps improve performance whenever necessary. Moreover, the system handles a “Turbo Boost 2.0” that automatically changes and increases the speed depending on its active core. It also has four independent processors “cores” that are attached to a single silicon chip. This Crystalwell architecture is the brand of Intel for fourth-generation Core processors that are paired with a powerful graphics processor. This MacBook Pro “Core i7” 2.0 GHz 15-Inch Late 2013 is available with a pre-installed MacOS X 10.9 (13A3017) with an integrated Intel Iris 5200 Pro graphics processor and a 128 MB of “Crystalwell” embedded DRAM similar to ME874LL/A.
