Description

The Apple MacBookPro is built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo which packs the power of two processor cores (in this case 2.4GHz) inside a single chip and provides 4MB of Smart Cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. Whether you're creating 3D animation, editing photos from the day's shoot, or playing your favorite video game, the MacBook Pro notebook computer delivers serious processing power with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller. It also delivers up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory with a faster, 800MHz frontside bus and support for hard drives up to 250GB. Amazingly enough all this power comes in a package only one inch thick and a mere 5.4 pounds, making the MacBook Pro model among the thinnest, lightest notebooks in its display class.

Sights and Sound Sure to Astound The combination of a 16-lane PCI Express architecture and the powerful NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor brings a new level of realism to MacBook Pro users. 16x full screen anti-aliasing, 128-bit High Dynamic Range rendering, and a texture fill rate of up to 8.2 billion per second provide unrivaled picture quality and lifelike contrast and tone for next-generation 3D animation and games.

The 15" MacBook Pro laptop is better for the environment, thanks to its mercury-free display. Backlit by light emitting diodes (LEDs), the display weighs less and is more power efficient than the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) which most notebooks employ, and provides full brightness immediately after the system is turned on. You'll see blacker blacks, whiter whites, and many more colors in between on a brilliant 15.4-inch, 1440-by-900-pixel digital display. The new MacBook Pro graphics performance is up to 57% faster than the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro.

The Apple MacBook Pro offers an antiglare widescreen display that's perfect for color-minded professionals. For a more immersive viewing experience, you can configure the MacBook Pro display with a glossy finish. This gives everything you see a richer, more saturated feel.

If your into podcasting or want to add audio and video to your traditional blogs, the MacBookPro's iSight makes it simple. You can also videoconference with several colleagues or capture photos of yourself wherever you are.

When you connect an Apple Cinema Display to MacBook Pro, you lose nothing in translation. That's because the DVI connection gives you a pure digital signal from system to display. View more than 4 million pixels on the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. You get three options for using your display: dual-display mode, video mirroring, and lid-closed mode.

Anytime, Anywhere Free yourself from the confines of a desk with the wireless technology built in to MacBook Pro laptop.

The included AirPort Extreme with 802.11n gives you blazing connectivity with speeds up to five times faster and up to two times the range compared to the 802.11g standard. This turbocharged technology lets you connect to the Internet without wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware and is compatible with Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g technology. It's also compatible with Windows PCs. This gives MacBook Pro the flexibility to work with a variety of Wi-Fi access points, so all you road warriors can get connected wherever there's a Wi-Fi network.

With Bonjour networking technology built into every MacBook Pro, the possibilities for wirelessly sharing files, printers, and data are nearly limitless. Your computer discovers other computers and peripherals on the same network. From there, you can print and share with secure simplicity.
