MacBook Pro GeForce 9600M GT Laptop is the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at speeds up to 2.8GHz. It’s based on groundbreaking 45-nm process technology and advanced Core microarchitecture. With the 1066MHz frontside bus and up to 6MB of shared L2 cache, MacBook Pro runs applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Cleverly integrated — almost hidden — at the top of the MacBook Pro display is an iSight camera. Use it with iChat, and you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat with a buddy, share a video with a colleague, or present to a client. Use iSight with Photo Booth for fun photo effects. And there’s no need to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Like everything Mac, iSight just works.
From the Multi-Touch trackpad to the LED-backlit display, MacBook Pro has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail. The new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it’s not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design, and create.
Helpful consumer’s review
I have owned 5 Apple Macs personally (3 have been laptops) and had another 6 over the years at work and I can honestly say this is the best I have ever used. It feels, sounds, types and simply works better than the previous generation MacBook Pro. The ‘Unibody’ shell gives it a genuinely solid feel, the back lit keyboard is fabulous to type on, and the display is simply gorgeous. (Ignore the ‘I want matte crowd’, this display really delivers, for photoshop, aperture, final cut, flash illustrator I have found it brilliant.) What is more the video output is also superb, my presentations have never looked better when projected. The audio quality is also massively improved, and is listenable on the inbuilt speakers, and really fine on headphones. The Hard drive is also easily swapable which is a bonus if you want to spend £50, ditch the inbuilt drive and upgrade to a 500gbt. All this plus a choice of using a lesser video card to save battery life if this is an issue for you, the glass multi-touch track pad, ambient light sensors and the as standard fantastic Mac OS 10.5 and iLife software.
What are you waiting for!
