The new MacBook Pro family
MacBook Pro now comes in three sizes—13-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch—and it’s more affordable than ever. With a starting price of just $1199,1 high performance and precision design are available to everyone. Every new MacBook Pro features a breakthrough, long-lasting battery that delivers up to 7 hours of wireless productivity on a single charge (8 hours on the 17-inch MacBook Pro)2 and can be recharged up to 1000 times—nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries.3 The new LED-backlit display has a 60 percent greater color gamut than that of previous generations, giving you richer, more vibrant colors. Every MacBook Pro features the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor, which provides an outstanding graphics experience for everyday tasks. Power your way through the latest 3D games—including Call of Duty and Quake—and enjoy improved graphics performance with iWork, iLife, and everything you do in Mac OS X. The 17-inch MacBook Pro and select 15-inch models have an advanced graphics architecture that employs both the integrated 9400M and the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processor. Experience the fastest, smoothest, and clearest graphics yet for pro applications like Aperture and Motion, productivity tools such as Keynote, and intensive 3D games. Depending on how much performance or battery life you need, it’s a snap to switch between the two processors. And with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor at speeds up to 3.06GHz, it’s the most powerful Mac notebook ever. All in a precision aluminum unibody enclosure that’s less than an inch thin.

conducted by Apple in May 2009 using preproduction 2.53GHz Intel Core 2
Duo–based 13-inch MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo–based 15-inch MacBook
Pro with a Better Battery Life setting, and 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo–based
17-inch MacBook Pro with a Better Battery Life setting. Battery life depends on
configuration and use. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. The
wireless productivity test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing various
websites and editing text in a word processing document with display brightness
set to 50%. 3Apple does not warrant
the battery beyond Apple’s one-year Limited Warranty. The battery has a limited
number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by an Apple
Service Provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See
www.apple.com/batteries for more information. 4Based
on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification. Wireless Internet access requires a
base station or other wireless access point and Internet access; fees may apply.
Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort Extreme. Actual performance
will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network,
and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions. 51GB
