Apple Inc. recently showed off their new family of MacBook Pro laptops, boasting longer battery lives and faster processors with lower prices.
Macbooks are now available in 13, 15 and 17 inch sizes. The baby of the family, 13-inch sells for $1199, the 15-inch for $1699, and the 17-inch for $2499.
Apple claims to have taken a fresh approach to building their products, and have introdued a new unibody design method. What this basically means is that they have taken design to a new level. Instead of having multiple parts that fit together making up the macbook, they hve taken a new approach to the design by replacing the many parts with one single part.
Apple engineers believe this new desgn method will further reduce failures, thereby extending the life and reliability of the macbook. And considering that customers are increasingly demanding easy to use, strong, mobile products Apple seems to have taken a step in the right direction with their new design.
The new unibody design consists of a single piece of carved alluminum that encloses the the macbook's critical parts, giving it a sturdy, strong but also light design. Each casing is milled from a solid block of aluminum using hi-tech CNC machines.
Every Macbook has the power saving NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor. The 15 and 17 inch models give you the option for even more graphics power with the added NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT processor. Depending on the level of graphics power you need, you can easily switch between the two.
The new MacBook Pro trackpad has also been installed and now has no button. The trackpad is in fact the button. Engineers believe this gives more room to track and click.
