You also receive a wireless Magic Keyboard and a wireless Magic Mouse, so you can get to work right away.

All MacBook models have a sharp and colorful Liquid Retina display. Thanks to this, you can enjoy photos and videos in high quality. The Apple MacBook Pro even has a Liquid Retina XDR display. This screen is even sharper, so you can even see the smallest details razor-sharply. The MacBook Pro also supports HDR. That way, colors look lifelike and black seems truly black.

The Apple iMac has a 24-inch Retina display. This means that the pixels in the screen are so small that you can't see them with the naked eye.
