The Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor is part of the latest generation of Intel processors, and it lets you do more than ever before. Combined with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 that's about 60% faster than the previous version, this amazing machine handles all your tasks with seamless efficiently - from the simple day-to-day stuff to more demanding applications. So no matter what you're doing, you'll experience flawless performance that puts many similarly-spec'd laptops to shame.
Thunderbolt I/O Technology, engineered in cooperation with Intel, is a game-changing idea. It's a new way to connect with high definition devices that allows for unimpeded data transfer, to and from your devices, at speeds of up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 technology. That means unrestrained, plug and play performance with an array of high-bandwidth devices. The MacBook Pro also comes with two USB 3.0 ports, providing lightning-fast data transfer speeds and backwards compatibility for all your USB-connected devices.
The MacBook Pro features a FaceTime 720p HD camera, so you can enjoy video conversations with friends and family with up to three times the resolution of previous MacBook webcams. You can make 720p HD calls from one new MacBook Pro to another, or calls to other Intel-based Mac computers, iPhone 4 or newer, iPad 2 or newer, or the latest iPod touch.
While it's what's on the inside that counts, it wouldn't be a Mac without its signature design touches. The MacBook Pro is precision engineered from a single block of recyclable aluminum to create the seamless unibody enclosure. And, of course, it's manufactured without the use of most harmful chemicals and toxins.
The Multi-Touch trackpad offers seamless and intuitive interaction with the laptop. The large, smooth glass surface enables the use of gestures to zoom in and out, and flip through photos. You can even assign a right-clickable area of the trackpad for those of you making the switch from PCs.
Despite the powerful graphics and processor, the MacBook Pro boasts an amazing battery life, thanks to a combination of energy-efficient architecture and smart design. Now, you'll enjoy up to 7 hours of un-tethered performance - perfect for those of you who aren't stuck at a desk all day.
And that's just the beginning. Other great features include 802.11n wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, an SDXC card slot, and a fast DVD burner. Finally, it comes fully-loaded with Mac OS X Lion, and a vast array of software that makes the MacBook ready-to-go, right out of the box. You can also upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free when it's released.
