The specs of the least-powerful (2.53GHz) version closely resemble those of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro and of the white 2.13GHz MacBook in particular it carries a single nVidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics chip, whereas the 2.66GHz and 2.83GHz versions combine the 9400M chip and a discrete nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics chip. Each comes configured with DDR3 SDRAM (as compared with the MacBook’s DDR2 memory), and 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, upgradable to 8GB. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is available in three processor speeds: 2.53GHz, 2.66GHz, and 2.83GHz.

Similarly, Apple’s Color Sync utility detected an expanded range of visible color in the red and green areas.

In a side-by-side comparison using new and previous-generation MacBook Pro laptops, we observed fairly significant differences in the rendering a color photo test image–in particular, heightened intensity in the red and green spectra. On the other hand, Apple still doesn’t offer a matte screen option. The display uses LED (light-emitting diode) backlight technology for better on-screen color accuracy, too. The new model’s glossy screen is better than ever, offering 60 percent greater color gamut (the range of colors that a device can display) than earlier MacBook Pros. That’s almost a half-hour less than the average all-purpose machine running the same test.

It only lasted 3 hours, 40 minutes in PC World’s Battery drain tests.

PC World’s Battery tests (running Windows Vista in Boot Camp mode) didn’t shine as favorable for the high-end MacBook Pro we tested. In the Macworld Lab’s tests of battery life, the new battery held out for ran an average of 4 hours. According to Apple, the technology’s ability to determine and maintain the optimal charging currentenables the new battery to survive 1000 charges, or approximately five years, before reaching 80 percent of original capacity conventional rechargeables have a typical lifespan of 300 recharges. The new battery contains a chip that monitors things like charge level and temperature, and communicates this information to the computer. The latest 17-inch MacBook Pro retains its ExpressCard/34 slot.įor the 15-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has abandoned replaceable batteries in favor of the same battery technology that it introduced earlier this year for the 17-inch MacBook Pro–a larger, flatter, more compact, and longer-lasting lithium-polymer battery. Users–especially photographers and videographers–who have invested in ExpressCard hardware will lament Apple’s decision to eliminate the ExpressCard/34 slot. It does not support SDXC, a new card specification that theoretically can support up to 2TB of storage this card is not yet available on the open market, however.

Apple says that the MacBook Pro supports the following cards: SD (which holds 4MB to 4GB of data), SDHC (which holds 4GB to 32GB of data), microSD (with an adapter), and miniSD (with an adapter).

Nevertheless, Apple has introduced significant changes to the new model.Ī new Secure Digital (SD) card slot lets you transfer files to your Mac and boot the laptop. The iSight camera is positioned in the same spot, as is the 8X SuperDrive. The big glossy screen still has a resolution of 1440 by 900 pixels, and all ports–including the MagSafe power port, gigabit ethernet, FireWire 800, two USB ports, and separate audio-in and -out ports–are still grouped together on the left side of the case. It sports the same solid aluminum unibody enclosure with the indented thumb scoop for opening the lid, the same huge touchpad, and the same stiff button that makes tapping and swiping the touchpad with your fingers easier than depressing the button. From the outside, the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro closely resembles its predecessor.
