The new chassis is slightly larger than the previous model at 14.3 inches across (compared to the previous 14.1 inches), and a tad wider too, though it’s also a shade thinner and more rounded at the edges to give it a more natural feel. Side-by-side, the difference between the current and previous models is arresting. An elegant battery indicator on the side of the case glows green through eight tiny dots and when all is well and flashes five times when the battery needs replacement.
And if you’re using the lock, it automatically locks the access door underneath, thus protecting the hard drive and the battery.
The right side of the machine has the slot-loading SuperDrive and a Kensington lock slot. Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, or $99 for a You can connect other monitors to the new MacBook Pros, but you’ll have to buy a $29
Both have 1,066MHz frontside bus and built in AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi with 3-Mbps Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.Ī new port makes its appearance in this model: the Mini DisplayPort, which connects to Apple’s newĢ4-inch LED Cinema Display ($899). The new memory is the faster DDR3 variety-an upgrade over the DDR2 SDRAM that shipped in the previous models. Apple also offers a 7,200 rpm drive and solid-state drive (SSD) as built to order options. The 2.53GHz model comes with 6MB of shared L2 cache, 4GB of memory, and a 320GB hard drive (5,400 rpm). The 2.4GHz model comes with 3MB of shared L2 cache, 2GB of 1,066MHz DDR3 memory, and a 250GB SATA hard drive (5,400 rpm). The new MacBook Pro is slimmer than its predecessor. Even without a clasp, it feels secure when closed. There’s no clasp keeping the lid shut: simply grip the thumbscoop etched into the bottom of the case, and it opens right up. With the new MacBook Pro in hand, it feels almost like an extension of your arm. Such assembly, according to Apple, eliminates the need for fine-tuning parts and diminishes the possibility of construction failures. Instead of assembling the laptops piecemeal and expertly splicing the components together, the new models sport a unibody architecture that constructs the entire machine out of a single piece of recyclable aluminum. Previous Macbook Pros felt rock solid, the new models seem even more so due to the brand new manufacturing process introduced with this generation of MacBook Pro 15-inch models-with speeds of 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz-have been remodeled, redesigned, and reengineered for a completely new laptop experience. At casual glance it appears nearly identical to its predecessor, but it’s not.
