The latest and greatest
MacBook
Pro is built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo — which packs the
power of two processor cores (up to 2.4GHz) inside a single chip. It
provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between the
cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics,
video editing, and music encoding. But the faster engine is only part
of the story. MacBook Pro delivers up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory with
a faster, 800MHz frontside bus and support for hard drives up to 250GB.
Ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity. To go. That’s MacBook
Pro.
Graphically speaking
Whether
you’re creating 3D animation, editing photos from the day’s shoot, or
playing your favorite video game, MacBook Pro delivers serious
processing power with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller.
Display’s the thing
A
great video processor powers a great display. The new MacBook Pro is
available in 15-inch models with a new mercury-free, power-efficient
LED-backlit display and a 17-inch model with an optional 1920-by-1200
pixel display.
Packs power, not kilos
What
makes MacBook Pro so mobile? Performance in a portable package. Only
2.59cm thin and 2.45 and 3.08 kg, respectively, the 15- and 17-inch
MacBook Pro models are among the thinnest, lightest notebooks in their
display class.
Hit the road
Your
life isn’t confined to an office, so why should your computer be?
AirPort Extreme’s 802.11n Wi-Fi delivers up to five times the
performance and two times the range compared to the previous 802.11g
standard.1 No wires. No extra phone lines. Just you being freed from
those four walls.
At just 2.59
cm thin, MacBook Pro defies reason — and probably several laws of
physics. But each element inside has been carefully considered to
condense all the modern mobile amenities into the tightest of quarters.
Innovative right down to the power cord
The
MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a
magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to
trip over a power cord, you won’t send MacBook Pro flying off a table
or desk; the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord
or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the
connectors.
Cooler design
In
the eternal struggle between the forces of design and the forces of
thermodynamic reality, many notebooks simply surrender, opting for
clunkier designs to deal with internal heat. MacBook Pro innovates its
way to a better place. Not only are its parts engineered to squeeze out
every last joule of performance, they’re meticulously placed to
minimise size. The result? Ultra performance in a thin, light package.
Battery life lessons
With
battery life that rivals most notebooks in its class, MacBook Pro keeps
you on the go. If you’d like to make that battery last even longer, Mac
OS X has a few tricks up its sleeve. Go to System Preferences, click
Energy Saver, and change battery optimisation from Normal to Better
Battery Life. Or tell MacBook Pro to reduce its screen brightness and
give yourself a little more time untethered.
Mobile expansion
ExpressCard
is the PCMCIA standard replacement for the CardBus PC Card slot,
providing a faster way to connect to a wide variety of peripherals
including 3G wireless, external hard drives, and flash cards.
ExpressCard/34 products currently available include:
   * Novatel V640 EVDO ExpressCard
   * NitroAV FireWire 800 ExpressCard
   * FirmTek SeriTek/2SM2-E SATA ExpressCard
   * Belkin Multimedia Reader and Writer ExpressCard
Scrolling trackpad
MacBook
Pro can tell if you’ve got one finger on the pedal, or two. With two,
you can easily scroll around your documents or open contextual menus.
When you need right-click functionality, simply open “Keyboard and
Mouse” in System Preferences and enable the secondary click preference.
Sudden Motion Sensor
MacBook Pro helps protect your data if it detects a fall, by parking the hard drive head during fast changes in orientation.
Sounds surround
MacBook
Pro sounds as good as it looks, with unprecedented attention to audio
detail. For musicians on the go, MacBook Pro offers pristine sound
through optical digital audio on both input and output.
On the go.
Illuminated Keyboard
Where
else can you find a backlit keyboard? MacBook Pro has a built-in
ambient light sensor that adjusts the keyboard and display brightness
for optimal visibility.
