Apple has released the newest product in the Apple family — the MacBook Pro. Since there are so many features to list, I’ll just bullet them before my review:
15-inch:
* 15.4 inch display
* 5.6 pounds
* 4x SuperDrive
* 2GHZ or a 2.16GHz Core Due
* One Firewire 400 Port
* Two USB Ports
17-inch:
* 17 inch display
* 6.8 pounds
* 8x SuperDrive
* 2.16GHz Core Due
* One Firewire 400 Port
* One Firewire 800 Port
* Three USB Ports
Color
The MacBook Pro comes in silver or black. I chose the black one as it is stunning.
Performance
The Intel Core Duo allows the MacBook Pro the ability to use the power of two processors on one chip. What this means is that the performance of the machine is doubled, while it only needs to power one processor. The front side bus at 667Hz, which Apple says “runs faster than any pervious Mac notebook,” allows for graphics to be switched between 2D and 3D.
iSight
There is a built in iSight camera, so that you may video conference around the world use the iChat software.
Overall
The Mac Book Pro was a great machine. I’ve been using it for a while now and I absolutely love it. I doubt I’ll be going back to a Windows based machine anytime soon!
