We performed the third test in the concrete basement (two floors and some partition walls), where weak WLAN modules / antennas often lose the connection. MBP 13 and S413 were significantly faster with 59 Mbps and 55 Mbps, respectively. One floor below (concrete ceiling and a partition wall), the performance of the Retina was reduced to 42 Mbps. The attached AMD A8-5600K desktop (LAN) with an Asus F2A85-V did not affect the performance we could see the maximum transfer rate of 865 Mbps when we attached the Schenker via Ethernet. Schenker's S413 was the slowest device with just 156 Mbps, despite Intel's new AC WLAN module. According to iperf, the best result was 297 Mbps, but we also saw results below the old MBP 13, which managed 207 Mbps. As expected, the connection was very good but slightly fluctuating with a distance of 1 meter (~ 3.3 feet) and in direct sight. Our comparison also includes a MacBook Pro from 2010 and a Schenker S413 (Clevo W740SU) besides the review unit. The new AC standard is supported by the Retina, however, you obviously need a compatible wireless router. We could only determine the WLAN performance in combination with a Linksys E4200 802.11n router.

3G / 4G or LTE is only available via Bluetooth, WLAN or USB Tethering (USB Tethering with Android only via third party drivers like HoRNDIS). Ethernet is only available with a USB or Thunderbolt adaptor.

The MacBook Pro Retina only supports the wireless standards 802.11 b/g/n/ac (2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.0. With the low weight and the thin case, the MacBook Pro 13 is clearly a subnotebook, but its powerful processor stands out from the competition in this class.
Our review unit was not provided by Apple, we just bought it in the online store.
Our review unit is the configuration with a Core i5-4258U processor, 256 GB SSD and 8 GB RAM. That is not a big difference to the 17 mm of the 13-inch MacBook Air, but the case does not get thinner towards the front. Apple was also able to reduce the thickness of the case from 19 mm to 18 mm thanks to the reduced energy consumption of the platform.

The Haswell update of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina does not only include new components. For the original German review, see here.
