Intel Core 2 Duo Processing

Combining devoted processing speeds with power-saving features, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides greater multitasking carrying-on by combining two independent processor cores while also reducing power requirements and saving on freestyle life. This Intel Core 2 Duo processor has a 2.66 GHz processor speed, speedy 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 3 MB L2 stash. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help zoom up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Featuring a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is thinner and lighter than its ancestor as well as stronger and more durable. But Apple didn't stop innovating with the body's design. The MacBook Pro also includes a new 13-inch, LED-backlit spyglass display (instead of an LCD panel) as well as a glass trackpad that doesn't include a button (for larger tracking compass) that features Apple's Multi-Touch technology.

The 13-inch unibody MacBook Pro (see larger manifestation).

Under the hood, the MacBook Pro is powered by a powerful 2.53 GHz Intel Substance 2 Duo processor (with 3 MB L2 cache and 1066 MHz front-side bus), which runs applications faster and more efficiently as well as helps to decrease power requirements and save on battery life. And video is powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor, which provides an payable everyday graphics experience with up to a 5x performance boost.

Other hardware features include a 250 GB unsentimental drive, 4 GB of installed RAM (which can be upgraded to 8 GB), an 8x combo Superdrive (for burning dual-layer DVDs as well as CDs), built-in Gigabit Ethernet for altered consciousness-speed networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), FireWire 800 seaport, Mini DisplayPort video output (for DVI and VGA connections), and a Secure Digital card opening for easy access to digital photos and audio stored on SD and MMC memory cards.

It comes pre-brim-full with Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system--an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology up the river--and it also comes with the iLife '09 suite of applications, including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.

The Unibody MacBook Pro Lay out
Traditionally notebooks are made from multiple parts. With the MacBook Pro all of those parts with just one part--the breakthrough unibody fold. Every MacBook Pro starts its life as a single block of aluminum, which is precisely machined into the key unibody design. Another pass and the unibody takes shape. Another, and the integrated keyboard emerges. When you pick up a new MacBook Pro, you at the drop of a hat notice the entire enclosure is thinner and lighter. And it feels strong and durable--complete for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.

Off-the-shelf lithium-ion cells be communicated in fixed, cylindrical shapes. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is powered by custom-made, ultrathin lithium-polymer batteries.

The keyboard has also been improved, with the stiff aluminum keyboard webbing cut precisely to hold the keys, which are curved to perfectly fit fingers. And it's illuminated, so when you're in low-brilliant settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you're typing.

The 13-inch display is made of work one's way-to-edge, uninterrupted glass for a smooth, seamless surface and features LED backlighting for twinkling instant-on performance that uses up to 30 percent less energy than its predecessor. The ultra-thin displays accord crisp images and vivid colors which are ideal for viewing photos and movies

Extensive-Lasting Battery
The 13-inch MacBook Pro now includes a newly engineered lithium-polymer battery-operated that that lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge thanks to advanced chemistry, intelligent monitoring of the system and freestyle, and Adaptive Charging technology. The battery is built right into the computer, eliminating the space-consuming mechanisms and housings that example removable batteries require. This non-removable battery also provides a longer battery lifespan of up to 1000 recharges--import fewer depleted batteries and less waste, which is better for the environment.

Giving it a lifespan of up to 1000 recharges required breakthroughs in freestyle technology. Apple electro-chemists developed advanced chemistry that maintains the battery's charging capabilities longer than ever. And while most notebooks friction down their batteries by charging them at a constant rate, the 13-inch MacBook Pro takes a divers approach. Using an Apple-developed technology called Adaptive Charging, a microchip on the freestyle constantly communicates with the computer to determine the optimal way to charge its cells, adjusting the current up and down depending on a medley of conditions. Combined, these advancements offer a dramatic improvement in battery lifespan: more than three times the lifespan of conventional notebook batteries--up to five years.

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Experience improved vivacity efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 2.53 GHz Intel Nucleus 2 Duo processor, which has a super-fast 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache in stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries observations between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

The hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical fashionable leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall retailer. With 3 MB of shared L2 cache, data and instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly increasing dispatch and allowing the entire system to work more efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache, either can use the undamaged amount if the other happens to be idle.

The MacBook Pro includes a next generation Mini DisplayPort, which delivers a pure digital timer that can drive up to a 30-inch widescreen display. The Mini DisplayPort is ultra-aphoristic at just 10 percent the size of a full DVI connector, and is compatible with Apple's 24-inch Show Display. Adapters are also available for using VGA, DVI/HDMI and Dual-Link DVI displays

Strict Drive and Memory
The 250 GB Serial-ATA (SATA) hard drive (5400 RPM) quickens the determine with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to USB 2.0. The 4 GB of PC3-8500 DDR3 RAM (two SO-DIMMs of 1024 MB) has an determination-leading 1066 MHz speed, and the RAM capacity can be increased to 8 GB.

Wireless Connectivity
The built-in 802.11n wireless networking provides up to five times the scene and twice the range of 802.11g, but it's also backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g routers, enabling you to make understandable with the a wide variety of Wi-Fi resources. It works seamlessly with the new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n. Use the built-in Bluetooth wireless technology to link to your PDA or cell phone, synchronize addresses, or download pictures from your cell phone. You can also use a wireless headset for iChat audio chats and VoIP calls as well as quick share files with a colleague.

Video Conferencing with Built-in iSight
Artfully placed in the lens display is an iSight camera, which enables easy video conferencing as well as allows you to dismiss pictures of yourself and create video podcasts. Using the iChat AV application, video conferencing is integrated into your iChat pal list, so initiating a video conference is a breeze. iChat also lets you hold audio chats with up to 10 population and provides high-quality audio compression and full-duplex sound so conversation can rise naturally. For video podcasting, you can record a short clip using the iSight camera, then use iWeb to contrive a video blog entry or post your GarageBand-recorded podcast.

Because Apple makes both the munitions and the software for the MacBook, they're designed to work together to produce a smarter product that uses less fervency. For instance, to reduce energy consumption, the hard drive spins down automatically when peaceful. MacBook Air also decides which processor--CPU or GPU--is best suited to efficiently perform a task. The LED-backlit show in the MacBook Pro is another feature that plays an important part in conserving energy, consuming 30 percent less power than old hat LCD displays. And the display is designed to dim when you enter a darkened room.

The MacBook Pro meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY Big name certification. MacBook also meets the latest efficiency requirements of ENERGY STAR Side 5.0 Specification for Computers before its July 2009 effective date.
