   MacBook Pro Retina EFI Updates 1.2 and 1.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released two EFI firmware updates that provide targeted fixes
   for specific models of the recently released lineup of the MacBook Pro
   with Retina display (see '[1]New Retina MacBook Pro Models Thinner,
   Lighter, and Cheaper,' 22 October 2013). The [2]EFI Update 1.2 is aimed
   at the high-end version of the 15-inch MacBook Pro model with NVIDIA
   GeForce GT 750M graphics, addressing a rare problem that limits the
   performance of the NVIDIA graphics processor after a system wake or
   boot. The [3]EFI Update 1.3 is directed at 13-inch models to fix an
   issue where the built-in keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad could become
   unresponsive. As always with firmware updates, we recommend relying on
   Software Update to ensure you get the firmware update for your specific
   model, and be careful not to interrupt the update process. (Free,
