The supposed thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will reportedly enter the market by September according to an analyst from KGI Securities. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst from KGI Securities, the smaller-sized and reasonably-priced version of the MacBook Pro will become available for potential buyers in the near future.

In an investors note, Kuo indicated that the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will be an appealing option for laptop buyers who may opt for a better display compared to the 13-inch model that does not feature the retina display.

The small form factor as well as its low power consumption will increase the appeal of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display to consumers. The thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will reportedly feature a similar price tag as the model that does not feature a retina display.

However there are some speculations that the supply of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display may not find it easy to keep up with the demand for the device. The fifteen-inch model of the device is currently experiencing some delays due to limitations on the supply of the panels as well as other components for the display. But it should be noted that the waiting time for the fifteen-inch model of the device is gradually going down although a similar issue may be experienced by the upcoming thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

September may turn out to be quite a busy month for the company since the iPhone 5, next-generation iPod Touch and the iPad Mini may be launched in the same month as the availability of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
