Performance squared
MacBook Pro is built upon the revolutionary Intel Core
Duo — which packs the power of two processors (up to 2.16GHz) inside a single chip.
It provides 2MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between both cores as needed.
It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding.
And the new engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro has a frontside bus and memory
that, at 667MHz, runs faster than any previous Mac notebook. It’s the first Mac
notebook with PCI Express, a Serial ATA hard drive, and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 for
superfast graphics performance.
iSight to behold
Sit down. Click on someone’s iChat icon. And video
conference from anywhere in the world. Though you can barely see it, there’s an
iSight camera built into the thin bezel just above the display. So now you can conference
with associates during the day and chat with the kids at night. iChat AV lets you video
chat with up to three other people simultaneously. And when you go head to head,
you’ll see your colleague more clearly, thanks to the VGA resolution made possible by
the superfast Intel Core Duo. MacBook Pro also comes with Apple’s Photo Booth
application, a fun program that lets you take warped and Warholesque snapshots. With the
new iLife ’06 (included, of course), you can even record movies with iSight right
into iMovie, then use the new iLife’s newest application, iWeb, to create a video
blog entry or podcast in just a few clicks.
Road show
MacBook Pro delivers the Front Row media experience,
making it easy (and rather spectacular) to showcase your latest creations. Whether
you’re at the client’s office, on location, or back at your hotel room, you just
use the Apple Remote to control your videos, music, movies, and more. Front Row lets you
quickly navigate through your work and play from anywhere in the room. You can even use
the Apple Remote to navigate through Keynote presentations.
Do something. Say something. Make something.
MacBook Pro comes with iLife ’06, a suite of
easy-to-use applications that make it easy for anyone to make postcards, calendars, DVDs,
websites, and podcasts. Even professionals with proficiencies in high-end applications can
appreciate the ease of creating initial compositions. Or posting pictures, videos, and
commentary of current events almost before they happened. Enjoy the freedom of the press
on MacBook Pro.
Twin Power
The Intel Core Duo and a whole new architecture give
MacBook Pro up to five times the horsepower of PowerBook G4.
