Apple notebook with 15.4" display and 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Features next-generation 802.11n wireless, gorgeous upgraded displays, and wickedly fast NVIDIA graphics. The ultimate portable workstation.

The latest and greatest

MacBook Pro is built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo — which packs the power of two processor cores (up to 2.4GHz) inside a single chip. It provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding. But the faster engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro delivers up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory with a faster, 800MHz frontside bus and support for hard drives up to 250GB. Ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity. To go. That’s MacBook Pro.

Graphically speaking

Whether you’re creating 3D animation, editing photos from the day’s shoot, or playing your favorite video game, MacBook Pro delivers serious processing power with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller.

Display’s the thing

A great video processor powers a great display. The MacBook Pro is available in 15-inch models with a new mercury-free, power-efficient LED-backlit display and a 17-inch model with an optional 1920-by-1200 pixel display.

Packs power, not pounds

What makes MacBook Pro so mobile? Performance in a portable package. Only one inch thin and 5.4 and 6.8 pounds, respectively, the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro models are among the thinnest, lightest notebooks in their display class.

Hit the road

Your life isn’t confined to an office, so why should your computer be? AirPort Extreme’s 802.11n Wi-Fi delivers up to five times the performance and two times the range compared to the previous 802.11g standard.1 No wires. No extra phone lines. Just you being freed from those four walls.

Strong at the core

Combined with 4MB L2 cache and a myriad of other engineering leaps, the Intel Core 2 Duo boosts performance up to 55% over the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro. With this awesome power, it’s a breeze to render complex 3D models, enjoy smooth playback of 1080p HD video, or host a four-way video conference.

The Intel Core 2 Duo’s 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. That means you can get more done in less time. So the next time you use iMovie HD or Final Cut Pro to render effects, you can thank the SSE3 vector engine for the brisk performance.

Latest in Intel mobile architecture

Supporting the fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor is an advanced system architecture that includes up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory (the fastest portable computer memory on the market), an 800MHz frontside bus, 16-lane PCI Express graphics, and a Serial ATA hard drive.

More power, using less power

The Intel Core 2 Duo uses Intel’s groundbreaking 65-nanometer process — resulting in transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With smaller distances for electrons to travel, and two execution cores designed to share resources and conserve power, the Intel Core 2 Duo achieves higher levels of performance as it uses fewer watts. Which is what makes it possible to design a super-powerful MacBook Pro that’s only one inch thin.

Front Row

MacBook Pro includes Front Row and the Apple Remote. So, from anywhere in the room, you can present your ideas with 21st-century panache. Show off dailies. Play the latest mix. Click through your portfolio. Then head back to your hotel room to watch the TV shows and movies from the iTunes Store or a slideshow of last month’s vacation.

Now showing on MacBook Pro

Enjoy — and share — your music, movies, and photos from across the room on a gorgeous, portable display. Control the mood of the room with instant access to iTunes music and playlists. Or listen to your favorite radio program or Internet talk show anytime. Best of all, MacBook Pro lets you display your own creations with professional flair.

Let MacBook Pro and Front Row entertain you by playing songs, slideshows, and videos from other computers in the house.1 Buy new music in the kitchen, play it in your living room. MacBook Pro automatically finds networked computers under your roof — whether they be wireless or wired. Sounds like magic, but it’s just the Bonjour instant networking technology built into every Mac.

iSight

Artfully placed in the MacBook Pro display bezel is an iSight camera. This small camera lets you use iChat AV, iMovie HD, and Photo Booth to make big statements anywhere. So shout it from the rooftops. On location. Backstage. Back home. Show your point of view. Share it with the world.

Talk to anyone, anywhere with iChat AV. iChat video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so initiating a video conference is straightforward and easy. Just click the meeting attendees on your buddy list and each colleague steps into your virtual office. View their faces as if they’re all sitting around a table with you. Make your multiway video conference full screen and instantly turn your hotel room into a video conference room — without paying for a single phone call.

Design

At just one inch thin, MacBook Pro defies reason — and probably several laws of physics. But each element inside has been carefully considered to condense all the modern mobile amenities into the tightest of quarters.

Innovative right down to the power cord

The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won’t send MacBook Pro flying off a table or desk; the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors.

Graphics

Promote your ideas on the MacBook Pro’s dazzling new displays. Throw in the color and clarity of the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, and you'll have the power to do it all, anywhere.

Moving performance

The combination of a 16-lane PCI Express architecture and the powerful NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor brings a new level of realism to MacBook Pro users. 16x full screen anti-aliasing, 128-bit High Dynamic Range rendering, and a texture fill rate of up to 8.2 billion per second provide unrivaled picture quality and lifelike contrast and tone for next-generation 3D animation and games. The new MacBook Pro graphics performance is up to 57% faster than the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro.

Wireless

Free yourself from the confines of a desk with the wireless technology in MacBook Pro. Collaborate with colleagues around the world from across the room using a Bluetooth headset and iChat AV over wireless Internet.1 Make last-minute changes to a presentation by sharing files over Bluetooth. MacBook Pro lets freedom ring.

Unplug the Internet

AirPort Extreme with 802.11n gives you blazing connectivity with speeds up to five times faster and up to two times the range compared to the 802.11g standard.2 This turbocharged technology lets you connect to the Internet without wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware.
