1080p FaceTime HD camera

Look sharp wherever you make or take video calls whether you’re connecting with friends and family across time zones or collaborating with colleagues out in the field.

The 1080p camera uses a wide aperture to let in more light, combined with a large image sensor for better performance in low light.

Six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers

Six-speaker sound system. Four force‑cancelling woofers deliver deeper bass and room‑filling sound. High-performance tweeters project clearer, fuller vocals. And Spatial Audio creates a sophisticated three-dimensional soundstage when you’re playing music or video with Dolby Atmos.

Studio-quality three-microphone array captures your voice more clearly.

With a signal-to-noise ratio that rivals professional-grade microphones, MacBook Pro can capture even the subtlest sounds. And directional beamforming minimizes background noise so your voice comes through loud and clear.
