Manufacturer's Description

The new Apple MacBook Pro is hereThe New MacBook - Beautifully engineered, inside and out
From the Multi-Touch trackpad to the LED-backlit display, MacBook Pro has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail. The new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it's not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design, and create.

The new Apple MacBook Pro is here Strong. Silent. Type
The rigid aluminium keyboard webbing has been cut precisely to hold the keys. And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers. The result? Pure typing bliss. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you're in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you're typing.

It all just clicks
The first thing you might notice — or not notice — is the missing click button. Now the entire trackpad doubles as the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, your hands have 39 percent more room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you're coming from a right-click world, you can even configure a right-click area on the trackpad to access shortcut menus. The more you use Multi-Touch, the more you'll wonder what you ever did without it.



MacBook Pro screen size

Brilliant brilliance
The moment you open your MacBook Pro you're greeted by glorious, full screen brightness. But that's only one gleaming quality of the glossy LED-backlit widescreen display. The picture is brilliant and sharp from corner to corner. And anything you view — including the ultrathin display itself — is a spectacular experience. The seamless glass enclosure makes this display stronger and more durable. It's more power efficient and mercury- and arsenic-free, so it's greener than ever.

nvidia graphics

Graphics in full force
The new MacBook Pro reaches a new level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensive applications like Aperture and Motion. Use the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor for great everyday performance with up to five hours of battery life. Or switch to the discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics processor for the fastest, smoothest, clearest graphics yet.

harddrive

Everything fits
MacBook Pro has a hard drive up to 320GB and up to 4GB of RAM. So there's plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files. With faster 1066MHz DDR3 memory, you can run more applications at once and instantly access even more of your stuff. Burn everything you watch, listen to, or create onto DVDs using the ultrafast 8x SuperDrive and make room for even more.

Wireless connection

Your studio to go
Wherever you go with your MacBook Pro, wireless capabilities go with you. With the latest 802.11n wireless technology built in, you're always seamlessly and effortlessly connected to the wireless world out there, at home, and at work. MacBook Pro automatically finds available networks and allows you to join them with just one click. Then surf the web, send email, video chat, print, stream your music, and more. Bluetooth capabilities are also built in, so brilliant accessories can become your wireless accomplices. And when a Wi-Fi network isn't available, you can connect to the Internet anywhere there's a cellular network using the ExpressCard slot and a 3G wireless card. With up to 5 hours of battery life, do everything you need to do, wherever you need to do it.

Built in webcam

Be everywhere at once
Cleverly integrated — almost hidden — at the top of the MacBook Pro display is an iSight camera. Use it with iChat, and you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat with a buddy, share a video with a colleague, or present to a client. Use iSight with Photo Booth for fun photo effects. And there's no need to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Like everything Mac, iSight just works.

intel core 2 deo processors

Think fast
Inside the new MacBook Pro is the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at speeds up to 2.8GHz. It's based on groundbreaking 45-nm process technology and advanced Core microarchitecture. With the 1066MHz frontside bus and up to 6MB of shared L2 cache, MacBook Pro runs applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Ports with possibilities

Ports with possibilities
MacBook Pro is iPod, iPhone, digital camera, and external hard drive ready. If it has a cable, there's a place for it. You'll find two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port for connecting faster peripherals. The MiniDisplay Port is a perfect fit for the new Apple LED Cinema Display. MacBook Pro understands what you plug in, so you don't have to install new drivers.

    The best mac I have ever owned!5
    I have owned 5 Apple Macs personally (3 have been laptops) and had another 6 over the years at work and I can honestly say this is the best I have ever used. It feels, sounds, types and simply works better than the previous generation MacBook Pro. The 'Unibody' shell gives it a genuinely solid feel, the back lit keyboard is fabulous to type on, and the display is simply gorgeous. (Ignore the 'I want matte crowd', this display really delivers, for photoshop, aperture, final cut, flash illustrator I have found it brilliant.) What is more the video output is also superb, my presentations have never looked better when projected. The audio quality is also massively improved, and is listenable on the inbuilt speakers, and really fine on headphones. The Hard drive is also easily swapable which is a bonus if you want to spend £50, ditch the inbuilt drive and upgrade to a 500gbt. All this plus a choice of using a lesser video card to save battery life if this is an issue for you, the glass multi-touch track pad, ambient light sensors and the as standard fantastic Mac OS 10.5 and iLife software.
    What are you waiting for!

    Macbook pro 5
    I purchased this laptop in great anticipation and i have to say this is worth every penny. Everything about this laptop makes you fall in love with it, after using windows all my life i thought this would be a huge risk, but was i wrong, this laptop is amazing and you can do anything with it. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone considering on buying this laptop as you will not be disappointed.
