To build something truly different, you need to work in a truly different way. Apple designers and engineers work together through every stage of product development. It?s a partnership that makes innovation possible. And it?s exactly how the new MacBook Pro was created. With its breakthrough unibody enclosure, industry-first features and environmentally sound design, it?s a revolution in the way notebooks are made.
Precision aluminium. The new gold standard.
Carved from a single block of aluminium, 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.
Brilliant brilliance.
The moment you open your MacBook Pro you?re greeted by glorious, full screen brightness. But that?s only one gleaming quality of the glossy LED-backlit widescreen display. The picture is brilliant and sharp from corner to corner. And anything you view ? including the ultrathin display itself ? is a spectacular experience. The seamless glass enclosure makes this display stronger and more durable. It?s more power efficient and mercury- and arsenic-free, so it?s greener than ever.
Ports with possibilities.
Every MacBook Pro is iPod, iPhone, digital camera and external hard drive ready. If it has a cable, there?s a place for it. You?ll find two USB 2.0 ports (three USB 2.0 ports on the 17-inch MacBook Pro) and a FireWire 800 port for connecting faster peripherals. The Mini DisplayPort is a perfect fit for the Apple LED Cinema Display. MacBook Pro even recognises what you plug in, so you don?t have to install new drivers.

Even the keyboard is advanced.
The rigid aluminium keyboard webbing has been cut precisely to hold the keys. And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers. The result? Pure typing bliss. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you?re in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you?re typing.
It all just clicks.
The first thing you might notice ? or not notice ? is the missing click button. Now the entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, your hands have 39 percent more room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you?re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you?ll wonder what you ever did without it.
 Graphics in full force.
The new MacBook Pro reaches a new level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensive applications like Aperture and Motion. Use the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor for great everyday performance with up to five hours of battery life.1 Or switch to the discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics processor for the fastest, smoothest, clearest graphics yet.
