Have you been to Mars when Apple early this January announced the new MacBook Pro
17 unibody?
Time to refresh your memory, since it’s now available!
At first glance, you could easily mistake the new 17-inch MacBook Pro for its predecessor, the legendary 17-inch PowerBook G4 ( ; January 2006 ). The new model has roughly the same dimensions—at 15.4-by-10.4-by-1.0 inches and 6.8 pounds, it’s a shade wider, but a tenth of a pound lighter—and it retains the familiar aluminum enclosure and sleek design.
Inside, however, the new top-of-the-line Apple laptop incorporates not only a completely different processor, but a slew of other changes you should consider before deciding whether—or when—this is a machine for you. (you should…)
The MacBook Pro 17″ desktop replacement of Apple can also be classified as a multimedia notebook, because of its 3.1 kg and only 2.59 cm height.
Feature list at a glance:
Built-in lithium-polymer battery. Up to 8 hours of wireless productivity.
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processor and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor; 512MB of GDDR3 memory
320GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Double heart and double brain – 2 processors convince with the MacBook Pro 17 inch. The outstanding workmanship, the good battery runtime in MacOS X and the competitionless small weight for 17 inch notebook even allow a mobile usage. The disadvantage is a large heat development, like already with 15 the inch notebook.
According the performance the flat 17 inch racer exceeds the 15 inch notebook somewhat and does not show any performance weaknesses.
So? What are you waiting for?
