Apple MacBook Pro 15" 2.66GHz Mac Notebook Computer Details The Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz represents a redefining
and a redesigning of its predecessors, taking it to the next echelon of
engineering, style, and performance. This Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2
Duo 2.66GHz features an all-aluminum unibody enclosure, so it's even
thinner, lighter, and stronger, and it sports an LED display, rather
than LCD, as well as two graphics cards, for superior performance. And
on top of professional connections, such as USB 2.0, FireWire, and an
SD Card slot, there is a larger Multi-Touch trackpad with an integrated
button, so the Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz is more
ergonomic than ever.
Packed with power, RAM, and storage
The Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz features a blazing-fast
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and comes standard with 4GB of DDR3
memory that's expandable to 8GB. There's also a 320GB 5400RPM SATA hard
drive, which provides plenty of room for storage, as well as an 8x
SuperDrive, two USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 800 port, one SD card slot,
a Mini DisplayPort, Ethernet, and audio line in and line out ports.
Precision aluminum unibody enclosure
Instead of assembling a notebook from many minor parts, the new Apple
15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz was reinvented from just one: the
new, solid-aluminum unibody enclosure. It gets full credit for making
MacBook Pro thinner, lighter, and even more stunning. But it's not all
beauty. Because of the unibody, this MacBook Pro is also durable. Slip
it into your backpack or briefcase and pull it out wherever you go -
the new MacBook Pro is designed to take on your world.
Ultra-thin 15.4-inch LED-backlit display
The beautifully seamless, remarkably thin design isn't the only
gleaming quality of the LED-backlit display. The Apple 15" MacBook Pro
Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz requires no warm-up time, like with LCD displays, so
you're instantly greeted with full screen brightness. And the aluminum
enclosure is perfectly integrated with a glass overlay that stretches
to the edge of the notebook, providing a completely unobstructed
picture. Anything you view, including the glossy widescreen display
itself, is a spectacular experience. The 1440x900 LED-backlit display
is also more power efficient, and it's mercury- and arsenic-free, so
the new MacBook Pro is greener than ever, as well.
Two graphics processors
The new MacBook Pro combines the efficiency of an integrated graphics
processor with the desktop-class performance of a discrete graphics
processor. That's because it has both. Out of the box, it runs the
integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor, which provides plenty of
performance for everyday use with up to 7 hours of battery life. But
when you need turbocharged performance for the most graphically
intensive tasks, the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT processor
delivers. And thanks to a new graphics architecture, it's easy to
switch between these two processors.
All-new, smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad
The amazing new trackpad doubles as a button - just press down anywhere
and consider it clicked. No separate button means there's 39 percent
more room for your fingers to move on the silky glass surface. And with
the Multi-Touch gesture feature, with the Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2
Duo 2.66GHz, all the function is in your fingers. Use two fingers to
scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Swipe with three
fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Rotate to adjust an image
with your fingertips. Using the new four-finger swipe gesture, swipe up
or down to access Expose modes and left or right to switch between open
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.
Wireless workhorse with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Wherever you need to work, your Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo
2.66GHz is up for the task. With its latest generation 802.11n wireless
networking technology, you'll enjoy up to five times the performance
and twice the range of 802.11g - plus, Bluetooth is already built-in
and ready to go.
World-class software suite included
Every Apple comes with iLife '09, a tremendous software suite that's
brimming with award-winning applications to stretch your creativity.
Sketch song ideas with GarageBand, organize your music with iTunes -
you can even capture pictures and films with the built-in iSight
camera, load them into iMovie and start scoring your own mini-films.
Once you've perfected your creations, you can effortlessly secure them
with Mac OS X Leopard's included backup software, Time Machine.
