Although many OS X users consult the native Safari browser when looking to surf the Web, a large portion also use Google Chrome. The search giant's browser is, after all, well established, and considered the best in the business by those who use it on a frequent basis. However, if you're planning on using the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, your Chrome-using days may be numbered, with tests proving that battery retention can deplete by a mind-blowing 3.5 hours compared with Safari.
If you happen to be in the possession of a MacBook Pro - bought between 2011 and early 2013 - and are experiencing graphics related issues on your machine, Apple is offering a free repair program for all affected users starting today. Head on over the jump for further details.

Keeping in line with a number of rumors that surfaced over the weekend, Apple has today announced a relatively important refresh to its MacBook Pro range of computers. The update to the MacBook Pro with Retina display line of machines had been widely anticipated, and although the amendments don't come as a great surprise, they do mean that those looking to purchase one of Apple's portable Mac computers will ultimately benefit from a more powerful experience along with a reduced financial outlay.
When it was announced that Intel was giving its Haswell line of CPUs a speed bump very recently, the smart money immediately went on those chips finding their way into Apple's MacBook Pro and, if this leaked photograph is to be believed, that's exactly what is going to happen.
Over the last few weeks we have seen a lot of attention being paid to the future of Apple's mobile hardware and software. The annual speculation surrounding the next iteration of iOS has inevitably reared it's head ahead of this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. We've also been hearing about a number of possible inclusions that could form part of the next-generation iPhone.

Apple’s much anticipated event today came to a close a few hours back, but left the blogosphere abuzz in its wake with news and views on all the great tech that the Cupertino-based company showcased, including OS X Mavericks, the new iPads, a fresh MacBook Pro, the behemoth that they call Mac Pro, along with software improvements like iWork and iLife. There was so much more that the event had to offer, and here, we’re going to provide a quick run down in case you missed the action earlier.

We are now just a couple of days away form Apple's media event - an event that we all expect the company to announce at least two new iPads at. With that in mind though, it's also an event that we suspect will see one or two other products shown off, even if they aren't all quite ready to ship.
The iPhone launch is, for the most part, now over, and attentions have naturally turned to Apple's secondary product releases of the calendar year. The Mac Pro, which has already been officially announced, could be just a month away from release according to a report over at French Apple blog MacGeneration, which also states that both the Intel Haswell-packing MacBook Pro and new iPads will make their way to the market by the end of October.
