FINISHED AND REFINISHED.
Introducing the new MacBook Pro...
Finally it's here, The day we've all been waiting for... The new MacBook Pro
Better than ever before, X3. Case Closed. or open...
"2011 gives its' best, (yet...) MacBook Pro."

MAC OVERVIEW:
Apple is the world's leading technology brand (To most people) and their top selling notebook [MacBook Pro] just got to the next level. Many people choose PCs because they are the "default" of the standard to the computerized world. Others simply like PCs because they're "cheaper", well yesterday Apple released the New MacBook Pro. Maybe today those PC lovers will choose the Mac Side...
MacBook Pro History:
Mac Book Pro is Apple's professional mobile notebook which is the hottest on the market. As well as switching to intel from IBM and moving on to Mac OS snow leopard (Mac OS lion is coming out summer 2011) Apple has made a change once again, but only to MacBook Pro which usually happens every year...
In 2010, the MacBook pro upgraded to intel core i5 & i7 processors. That was impressive, until you read the price tag, And you couldn't get that upgrade for the 13" MacBook Pro. Shame. Now let's see what 2011 has to offer...
For 2011, Apple has released the all new macbook pro. here are just a few new things:
- Intel i7 for all
- 3X faster graphics
- Ultra fast Thunderbolt
- FaceTime in HD
- Hard Drive Enhancements
- More capability
- Usual updates
- + More!
Reaching New Heights...
With up to twice the processing speed, advanced graphics, and ultrafast Thunderbolt I/O, there’s plenty of fast to go around.
New Intel Core i5 and i7 processors.
Up to 2x faster at the core.
New quad-core Intel Core i7 processors are standard on the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro. And the 13-inch models feature the new dual-core Intel Core i5 processor or the fastest dual-core processor available — the Intel Core i7. All the models use Intel’s recently refined chipsets. So what does all that mean for the new MacBook Pro models? Bottom line: They perform up to twice as fast as the previous generation,1 breezing through demanding tasks like editing HD video, compiling audio, or rendering a multilayered image file. And since Mac OS X Snow Leopard is designed to take advantage of every processor core, it captures every last bit of performance from the processor.
Faster single-chip microarchitecture.
Whether you’re watching a movie, updating your blog, or editing photos, data has to travel from place to place to be processed. The latest Intel Core architecture puts the processor, cache, memory controller, and graphics engine on a single chip. Since data doesn’t have as far to travel, you get faster performance and greater efficiency.
Turbo Boost 2.0.
Say you’re using a processor-intensive application like Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro that benefits from extra power. Turbo Boost is a dynamic performance technology that automatically increases the speed of the active cores — up to 3.4GHz. Turbo Boost 2.0 is even more dynamic and efficient. By shifting core frequency in smaller increments than before, it allows the processor to manage performance without sacrificing efficiency. All this takes place behind the scenes, so your work just goes smoother and faster.
Hyper-Threading.
Hyper-Threading is now standard on every MacBook Pro. This technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core, so Mac OS X recognizes eight virtual cores on a quad-core processor and four on a dual-core processor. When you’re running multiple applications at once, the processor spreads number of cores
.
Integrated memory controller.
With faster access to memory, each core can get right to work on your data, rather than waiting for it to arrive. That’s why the new Intel Core architecture uses an integrated memory controller to connect fast 1333MHz memory directly to the processor. Together with up to 8MB of shared L3 cache, the integrated memory controller helps your applications run at peak performance.
Energy-efficient graphics.
Thanks to the new microarchitecture, the graphics processor is on the same chip as the central processor and has direct access to L3 cache. That proximity translates into performance. The graphics processor also automatically increases clock speeds for higher workloads. An integrated video encoder enables HD video calls with FaceTime, while an efficient decoder gives you long battery life when you’re watching DVDs or iTunes movies.
Up to 3x quicker on the draw. And the render.
When you need more performance for things like playing 3D games, editing HD video, or even running CAD software, the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro models automatically switch to discrete AMD Radeon graphics that let you see more frames per second and experience better responsiveness. With up to 1GB of dedicated GDDR5 video memory, these processors provide up to 3x faster performance than the previous generation.2
Introducing Thunderbolt. Data transfer is now lightning fast.
Thunderbolt technology has arrived — and MacBook Pro is the first notebook to have it. Now one connection carries both DisplayPort and PCI Express. With two 10-Gbps data channels, you can transfer data more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. And don’t worry about a single drive or peripheral tying up the Thunderbolt port: You can daisy-chain as many as six devices, including your display. So with one tiny, streamlined port, you get lightning-fast transfer speeds and huge expansion capabilities.
