The latest Intel processor, a bigger hard drive, plenty of memory and even more new features all fit inside a liberating 2.59 cm. The new MacBook Pro has the performance, power and connectivity of a desktop computer. Without the desk part.

Applied performance.
The new MacBook Pro features the latest mobile processor from Intel. The Intel Core 2 Duo runs on 45-nm process technology at speeds up to 2.6GHz with up to 6MB of L2 cache. Its SSE4 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.

Supporting the superfast Intel Core 2 Duo is an advanced system architecture with up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory, an 800MHz frontside bus and 16-lane PCI Express graphics.

The new Intel processor and advanced system architecture make MacBook Pro one of the most sophisticated notebooks on the planet.

Image is everything.
MacBook Pro features the colour and clarity of NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with up to 512MB of GDDR3 memory. The combination of a 16-lane PCI Express architecture and the powerful graphics processor brings a new level of realism to MacBook Pro users. The 16x full-screen anti-aliasing, 128-bit High Dynamic Range rendering and texture fill rate of up to 8.2 billion textured pixels 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 2.3 times faster than that of the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro 15- or 17-inch display is ideal for viewing high-resolution Photoshop images or HD movies. The optional 1920-by-1200 resolution on the 17-inch MacBook Pro offers a 30 percent increase in viewable area over the 1680-by-1050-resolution display. With more than half a million extra pixels at your disposal, you can view 1080- resolution HD video in all its glory — no need to resize the window to fit the screen.

More power, using less power.
The Intel Core 2 Duo uses Intel’s groundbreaking 45-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 without using more power. This is what helps make MacBook Pro just one inch thin.

Software just works.
In the world of MacBook Pro, nothing is complicated. So when it comes to running software on your Intel-based MacBook Pro, prepare for the expected: it just works. Applications with the Universal symbol run on either PowerPC- or Intel-based Mac computers. Most existing applications will run on your Intel-based MacBook Pro, too. Simply launch them as always. Thanks to the Rosetta technology in Mac OS X, they look and feel just like they did before.

Smart touch.
MacBook Pro features an advanced trackpad with amazing Multi-Touch technology. You can flip through photos, enlarge text and adjust an image using just your fingers. And your hands have room to spread out on the full-size keyboard with crisp, responsive keys. MacBook Pro has a built-in ambient light sensor that adjusts the keyboard and display brightness so it’s easy to work in low-light settings such as airplanes and conference rooms.
