Key Features:

• 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  
• 1440 x 900 pixels
  
• 1GB memory
  
• 120GB hard drive
  
• 6x double-layer SuperDrive

Features:

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor
  Powered by the latest generation of Intel's mobile processors plus a larger L2 cache, the new MacBook Pro is up to 39% faster than the previous MacBook Pro generation.
  • Lucky number 7x
    Combined with 4MB L2 cache and a myriad of other engineering leaps, the Intel Core 2 Duo boosts performance up to 39% higher than the previous MacBook Pro and over 7x higher than the fastest PowerBook G4.(1) 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.
    
  • 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.
    
• Built-in iSight Camera
  Setting up a video conference is easy and fast with the included iChat AV and built-in iSight. Host a face-to-face dialogue with up to three other colleagues — no cords or cameras to carry around.
  • One-to-one video
    Now you can read stories to the kids at bedtime whether you’re across the country or across the ocean, with no additional long distance charges.
  • One-way video
    Even if the person you want to chat with doesn’t have an iSight camera (lucky you), you can still wave hello with a one-way video chat. Just hold down the Control key as you choose a name from your buddy list and select “Invite to Video Chat.”
  • 3+1 video
    With support (1) for video chats between up to four people and a stunning, three-dimensional view, iChat AV practically puts your colleagues, friends, and family in the room with you. See their faces reflected into space, just as though you were sitting around a table together.
  • Audio
    Already a versatile instant text messaging application, iChat also lets you hold audio chats with up to 10 people. High-quality audio compression gives you crystal-clear conversations, while full-duplex sound lets everyone speak naturally. Record your conversations in GarageBand with everyone on a separate channel, then post your podcast immediately via iWeb.
    
• The MacBook Pro advantage
  FireWire 800, DVI, optical digital audio, ExpressCard/34, and Gigabit Ethernet deliver high-bandwidth digital connections to your peripheral devices.
• Front Row & Apple Remote
  Present your photos, videos, and even Keynote presentations to an audience and control the display from up to 30 feet away.
  • 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.
  • All in the family
    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.
  • Under your thumb
    The Apple Remote features a minimalist six buttons. Press Menu to activate Front Row to navigate through your media. You can even use the remote to control Keynote presentations in iWork ’06.
  • The ultimate digital portfolio
    Forget lackluster client meetings where you page through hard copies of your portfolio. Front Row makes it possible to showcase your digital work the way it was meant to be seen: on a brilliant 15- or 17-inch display, at the touch of the Apple Remote.
  • Software update
    If you already own a MacBook Pro, you can download updated Front Row software via the Software Update function in System Preferences.
• ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics
  Promote your ideas on the MacBook Pro’s dazzling display. An aggressive ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor under the hood coupled with up to 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM powers the mobile visual studio you’ve been waiting for. Retouch color, edit on location, video conference with colleagues: Do it all, anywhere.
  • Everything is illuminated
    MacBook Pro makes your ideas more enlightening, with a sharp, high-resolution screen. See blacker blacks, whiter whites, and many more colors in between on a brilliant 15.4-inch, 1440-by-900-pixel or 17-inch, 1680-by-1050-pixel digital display. Enjoy a nuanced view simply unavailable on other portables.
  • Moving performance
    Then there’s the not-so-subtle ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with up to 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. Designed for high-performance portables, this graphics powerhouse packs more punch into a much smaller space. The X1600 can push data through 12 pixel shader pipelines and five vertex processors on the 16-lane PCI Express bus interface. Enjoy sharp videos and photos, smooth video playback, astonishing effects, and vibrant colors — as well as texture-rich 3D performance in next-generation games.
    
  • Pure digital signal
    When you connect an Apple Cinema Display to MacBook Pro, you lose nothing in translation. That’s because the DVI connection gives you a pure digital signal from system to display. View more than 4 million pixels on the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display, powered by the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 and the dual-link DVI built into MacBook Pro. You get three options for using your display: dual-display mode, video mirroring, and lid-closed mode.
  • Finishing coat
    MacBook Pro offers an antiglare widescreen display that’s perfect for color-minded professionals. For a more immersive viewing experience, you can configure MacBook Pro with a glossy finish. This gives everything you see a richer, more saturated feel.
• Designed for life on the road
  Dozens of unique innovations — such as a magnetic power cord, the illuminated keyboard with ambient light sensor, and scrolling trackpad — put the MacBook Pro in a class by itself
  • 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.
  • Cooler design
    In the eternal struggle between the forces of design and the forces of thermodynamic reality, many notebooks simply surrender, opting for clunkier designs to deal with internal heat. MacBook Pro innovates its way to a better place. Not only are its parts engineered to squeeze out every last joule of performance, they’re meticulously placed to minimize size. The result? Ultra performance in a thin, light package.
  • Battery life lessons
    With battery life that rivals most notebooks in its class, MacBook Pro keeps you on the go. If you’d like to make that battery last even longer, Mac OS X has a few tricks up its sleeve. Go to System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and change battery optimization from Normal to Better Battery Life. Or tell MacBook Pro to reduce its screen brightness and give yourself a little more time untethered.
    
  • Scrolling Trackpad
    MacBook Pro can tell if you’ve got one finger on the pedal, or two. With two, you can easily scroll around your documents or open contextual menus. And it’s easier now, thanks to a larger trackpad than the PowerBook G4.
  • Sudden Motion Sensor
    MacBook Pro helps protect your data if it detects a fall, by parking the hard drive head during fast changes in orientation.
  • Sounds surround
    MacBook Pro sounds as good as it looks, with unprecedented attention to audio detail. For musicians on the go, MacBook Pro offers pristine sound through optical digital audio on both input and output.
  • Illuminated keyboard
    Where else can you find a backlit keyboard? MacBook Pro has a built-in ambient light sensor that adjusts the keyboard and display brightness for optimal visibility.
