Manufacturer’s Description

You've dreamed about it long enough. Now it has a name: MacBook Pro. Powered by a dual-core Intel engine. Up to four times the speed of the PowerBook G4. Eight times the graphics bandwidth. With built-in iSight for instant video conferencing on the move. And Front Row with Apple Remote to dazzle everyone in the room. This is the first Mac notebook built upon Intel Core Duo -- which is actually two processors engineered onto 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 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. 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 similtaneously. MacBook Pro also comes with Apple?s Photo Booth application, a fun program that lets you take warped and Warholesque snapshots. With the iLife ?06 (included, of course), you can even record movies with iSight right into iMovie, then use the iLife?s application, iWeb, to create a video blog entry or podcast in just a few clicks . The first notebook to deliver the Front Row media experience, MacBook Pro makes it easy (and rather spectacular) to showcase your 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. 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.
