Apple has introduced its new MacBook Pro laptop with a 17” display and a long lasting battery life. It is a lightweight aluminum notebook, which is being held in praise these days.

Specifications:

First of all, let’s talk about the key feature of MacBook Pro 17”; the strong and long lasting battery life. It is a uniquely designed built-in battery which can last up to 8 hours after being fully charged once. This battery can be charged for 1000 times, which makes its life almost 5 years, much longer than any other notebook of present era.

This laptop has been created from a single mass of aluminum. This uni-body structure has not only helped making it the thinnest 17” laptop (0.98 inches), but has strengthened it, too. Sturdiness allows user to use it fearlessly on rough routes. It is also world’s lightest 17” laptop with merely 6.6 pounds. Thus, it is looks plus strength.

Apple claims that this is “the most powerful Mac notebook yet.” With Intel Core 2 Duo Processor running at 2.3 GHz, 45-nm process technology, advanced Core micro architecture, 1066 MHz front side bus and 6MB of shared L2 cache; this claim doesn’t appear baseless.

MacBook Pro comes with 320 GB Hard Drive, and offers an elective 128 or 256 GB solid state drive. Thus, there is a lot of room for important files, projects, photos, software, songs, movies, books and much more.

This Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled notebook gives instant access to internet everywhere. It has the latest 802.11n wireless technology, and the laptop automatically detects the wireless networks available around the user. Express Card/34 slot and 3G wireless card fill up the lacuna wherever there is no Wi-Fi network accessible. Therefore, one doesn’t miss important emails, or get disconnected from loved ones.

Here comes the key-section! The keyboard has been carved in that same single aluminum block, and the keys are nicely spaced, keeping in consideration the importance of error-free typing. It is an illuminated keyboard which enables the user to work in dim-lit areas such as airplanes, meeting halls, conference rooms etc.

Whole touchpad is a single glass button, giving an extra-wide space for the fingers to play. Configure an area and make it right-click button.

The LED-backlit 17” display has 1920×1200 pixels resolution, providing a blissful experience while viewing photos, watching videos or just looking at the background wallpaper. Black is blacker, and white is brighter with this notebook. With NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor, gaming is a whole new experience.

Pros:

  1. Sturdy body
  2. Most powerful Mac Notebook yet
  3. Amazing battery power
  4. Brilliant graphics
  5. Brighter and clearer display
  6. Longer battery life

Cons:

  • No Blu-Ray option included
  • An expensive laptop

Though a bit burden-on-the-pocket, this amazingly functional laptop is worth the price.
