Mac Book pro

Every MacBook is faster and more powerful than ever with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. It delivers extraordinary performance in a portable package, designed for life on the go. Browse the music, photos, and videos on your Mac as easily as you browse music on your iPod — from anywhere in the room, whether living room, dorm, hotel, or office.

The MacBook Pro is a line of Macintosh portable computers by Apple Inc. that was first introduced in January 2006 at the Macworld Expo. The MacBook Pro replaced the PowerBook G4 and was the second model to be announced in the Apple Intel transition (after the iMac). The MacBook Pro is positioned at the high end of the MacBook family.

There have been two designs for the MacBook Pro, both using aluminium. The first design was largely a carry-over from the PowerBook G4. The second "unibody" design is a more tapered design with most of the casing made from a single block of aluminum. The unibody design was first introduced in the 15" MacBook Pro in October 2008 during a notebook-oriented announcement, along with the 13" aluminum unibody MacBook. The 17" followed suit in January at the 2009 MacWorld Expo, also introducing the built-in battery which was later utilized in the rest of the MacBook Pro line in June at WWDC 2009 and in the MacBook in October 2009. There are currently three MacBook Pro models, the 13", 15" and 17".
