Apple MacBook Pro Overview

The Customized 15" MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Notebook Computer from Apple gives you all the power of a Macintosh computer in an easily portable and attractive form. The laptop is housed in an aluminum alloy enclosure, which is designed to resist stains and scratches. It is designed to meet the needs of video editors, graphics designers, educators and businesspeople.

Apple has partnered with Intel to update the popular PowerBook computer. Now dubbed the MacBook Pro, it is powered by the Intel Core Duo Processor. The Core Duo is actually two processors built into a single chip, which translates into much better performance than a single processor chip. The computer is loaded with a 7200 rpm 100 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, Airport Extreme wireless networking, integrated Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, built-in speakers, a glossy widescreen display and Apple's Dual-Layer SuperDrive, an 8x speed DVD and CD burner that supports Dual-Layered DVD discs.

All this hardware runs on Apple's OS X 10.4 Tiger operating system with Rosetta technology. This allows you to seamlessly run legacy applications as well as Universal Binaries that have been designed to run on both PowerPC and Intel chips, making the MacBook Pro a great choice for your home or office.

Intel Core Duo Processor
The system is powered by an Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz processor powered by a 667 MHz frontside bus. The Core Duo features two processors on a single chip, which increases system efficiency and reduces power consumption compared to two-chip dual processor systems.
Rosetta Technology
The changeover to Intel-powered Macintosh computers is made seamless with OS X Tiger's built-in Rosetta technology. You can open applications written for older PowerPC Macintosh computers without any special steps -- just click and run.
15" Glossy Widescreen LCD Display
The 15" Glossy LCD display delivers crisp, clear graphics. It is large enough to allow you to work efficiently while still keeping the laptop small enough to be easily portable. The display features a glossy finish, which delivers deeper color saturation and brighter images compared to comparable displays. The widescreen format gives you more viewing area than a standard aspect ratio display.
Front Row
Apple's Front Row software turns your MacBook Pro into a sleekly designed media player. Working in conjunction with the included remote control you can easily watch DVD movies and music videos, browse your iPhoto library and play music through iTunes. Integrating your entertainment center and computer is ideal for users with limited space such as a dorm room or apartment, or for those who simply want to get more out of their computer than word processing and web browsing.
iSight Camera
The built-in iSight camera allows you to participate in video conferencing using the included iChat AV software or easily setup a web cam. The camera is integrated in the computer's design, taking the ugly "bubble camera" style that is often associated with web cams out of the picture.
MagSafe Power Connector
The MacBook Pro features the innovative MagSafe Power Connector. The adapter secures to the computer via a magnetic connection. If you trip over your power cord, you no longer have to worry about dragging your laptop off a desk or table - the cord will simply disconnect and no damage will be done.
Mac OS X Tiger
The computer is pre-loaded with Mac OS 10.4. Mac OS X Tiger v10.4 gives you everything you need to live in the digital age. The entire system and its applications are designed to work well with each other and suit your individual computing style.
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 Graphics Card
The display card offers lightning fast graphics, powerful 3D effects and dual outputs. This allows you to effectively and crisply work with dual displays, which increases productivity in many applications.
8x SuperDrive
The SuperDrive allows you to burn DVD and CD discs at lightning fast speeds, making it easy to transport and archive data from your computer.
FireWire and USB 2.0 Interfaces
The laptop delivers FireWire-400 and USB 2.0 connections, allowing you to connect a multitude of devices to your computer.
Lightweight
The 15" MacBook Pro weighs only 5.6 pounds, making it easy to take it with you wherever you go.
Sudden Motion Sensor
Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor, a standard feature on the MacBook Pro, automatically parks your hard drive when it detects a sudden change in position and accelerated movement. This protects your data in the event of dropping your laptop.
Optional Protection
Apple provides 90 days of free phone support and a one-year limited warranty. You may choose to add an AppleCare Protection Plan to this package, which will extend your coverage for three full years, giving you peace of mind and ensuring that your system will run optimally for its effective life cycle.
