Apple MacBookPro 15" Laptop Computer
The Apple MacBookPro is all about ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity, and mobility. Built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo which packs the power of two processor cores (in this case 2.2GHz) inside a single chip, it provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 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 laptop 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.
