Apple MacBook Pro 17" 2.8GHz Mac Notebook Computer Details
The Apple 17" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz represents a redefining and a redesigning of its predecessors, taking it to the next echelon of engineering, style, and performance. This Apple 17" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz 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 17" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz is more ergonomic than ever.


Packed with power, RAM, and storage
The Apple 15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz features a blazing-fast 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and comes standard with 4GB of DDR3 memory that's expandable to 8GB. There's also a 500GB 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 17" MacBook Pro 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 17" LED-backlit display
The beautifully seamless, remarkably thin design isn't the only gleaming quality of the LED-backlit display. The Apple 17" MacBook Pro 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 seven 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 17" MacBook Pro, 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 17" MacBook Pro 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.
