As expected, Apple refreshed its Apple MacBook Pro models to take advantage of the new OS X 10.9 Mavericks operating system.

The entry configuration features a 4th-gen dual-core Intel Core i5 2.4GHz processor, 128GB SSD, 4GB of memory, and Intel Iris Pro graphics. The 15.4-inch version will be available for $1,999.
