2.4GHz Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, Dual Layer DVD±RW Drive, Bluetooth, Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n, 15.4" LCD Display - WXGA+ (1440 x 900), Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger
2.4GHz MacBook Pro Intel® Core™ 2 Duo DVD±RW Wireless Notebook w/ Webcam
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. Wait no more.

Strong at the core
Combined with 4MB L2 cache and a myriad of other engineering leaps, the Intel Core 2 Duo boosts performance up to 55% over the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro. With this awesome power, it’s a breeze to render complex 3D models, enjoy smooth playback of 1080p HD video, or host a four-way video conference.
The Intel Core 2 Duo’s 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. That means you can get more done in less time. So the next time you use iMovie HD or Final Cut Pro to render effects, you can thank the SSE3 vector engine for the brisk performance.
Latest in Intel mobile architecture
Supporting the fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor is an advanced system architecture that includes up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory (the fastest portable computer memory on the market), an 800MHz frontside bus, 16-lane PCI Express graphics, and a Serial ATA hard drive.
More power, using less power
The Intel Core 2 Duo uses Intel’s groundbreaking 65-nanometer process — resulting in transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With smaller distances for electrons to travel, and two execution cores designed to share resources and conserve power, the Intel Core 2 Duo achieves higher levels of performance as it uses fewer watts. Which is what makes it possible to design a super-powerful MacBook Pro that’s only one inch thin.
Software just works
In the world of MacBook Pro, nothing is complicated. So when it comes to running software on your Intel-based MacBook Pro, prepare for the expected: it just works. Applications with the Universal symbol run on either PowerPC- or Intel-based Mac computers. Most existing applications will run on your Intel-based MacBook Pro, too. Simply launch them as always. Thanks to the Rosetta technology in Mac OS X, they look and feel just like they did before.
Leading-edge graphics
The NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT delivers exceptional graphics processing power. For the ultimate creative canvas, you can even configure the 17-inch model with a 1920-by-1200 resolution display.
MacBook Pro includes Front Row and the Apple Remote. So, from anywhere in the room, you can present your ideas with 21st-century panache. Show off dailies. Play the latest mix. Click through your portfolio. Then head back to your hotel room to watch the TV shows and movies from the iTunes Store or a slideshow of last month’s vacation.
Now showing on MacBook Pro
Enjoy — and share — your music, movies, and photos from across the room on a gorgeous, portable display. Control the mood of the room with instant access to iTunes music and playlists. Or listen to your favorite radio program or Internet talk show anytime. Best of all, MacBook Pro lets you display your own creations with professional flair.
All in the family
Let MacBook Pro and Front Row entertain you by playing songs, slideshows, and videos from other computers in the house.1 Buy new music in the kitchen, play it in your living room. MacBook Pro automatically finds networked computers under your roof — whether they be wireless or wired. Sounds like magic, but it’s just the Bonjour instant networking technology built into every Mac.
Under your thumb
The Apple Remote features a minimalist six buttons. Press Menu to activate Front Row to navigate through your media. You can even use the remote to control Keynote presentations in iWork ’06.
The ultimate digital portfolio
Forget lackluster client meetings where you page through hard copies of your portfolio. Front Row makes it possible to showcase your digital work the way it was meant to be seen: on a brilliant 15- or 17-inch display, at the touch of the Apple Remote.
A change of view is only one button away. After turning on and plugging in your external display or projector, simply hit the F7 key to switch between dual display and presentation notes.
Software update
If you already own a MacBook Pro, you can download updated Front Row software via the Software Update pane in System Preferences.
Artfully placed in the MacBook Pro display bezel is an iSight camera. This small camera lets you use iChat AV, iMovie HD, and Photo Booth to make big statements anywhere. So shout it from the rooftops. On location. Backstage. Back home. Show your point of view. Share it with the world.
Video conferencing to go
Talk to anyone, anywhere with iChat AV. iChat video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so initiating a video conference is straightforward and easy. Just click the meeting attendees on your buddy list and each colleague steps into your virtual office. View their faces as if they’re all sitting around a table with you. Make your multiway video conference full screen and instantly turn your hotel room into a video conference room — without paying for a single phone call.
Podcasts and blogs to go
iLife ’06 makes even more of the built-in iSight camera. It’s simply another camera source for iMovie HD, but that opens up another world of creative possibilities. Record a short clip with no extra hardware. Just MacBook Pro. Then use iWeb to create a video blog entry or post your GarageBand-recorded podcast.1 Citizen journalism just got the green light with the mobile newsroom built into MacBook Pro.
Special effects to go
Taking pictures of yourself on the road has never been more fun. Add a special image effect — Sepia, Black & White, Glow, Comic Book, X-Ray, Colored Pencil, Thermal Camera, Spotlight, Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Stretch, Fish Eye. Click. See the screen flash white (which puts you in the best light). And there you have it — a high-quality photo you can save as your iChat buddy picture, email to your friends, put in your iPhoto library, or post to your iWeb photo blog.
At just one inch thin, MacBook Pro defies reason — and probably several laws of physics. But each element inside has been carefully considered to condense all the modern mobile amenities into the tightest of quarters.
Innovative right down to the power cord
The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won’t send MacBook Pro flying off a table or desk; the cord simply disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors.
Cooler design
In the eternal struggle between the forces of design and the forces of thermodynamic reality, many notebooks simply surrender, opting for clunkier designs to deal with internal heat. MacBook Pro innovates its way to a better place. Not only are its parts engineered to squeeze out every last joule of performance, they’re meticulously placed to minimize size. The result? Ultra performance in a thin, light package.
Batterylife lessons
With battery life that rivals most notebooks in its class, MacBook Pro keeps you on the go. If you’d like to make that battery last even longer, Mac OS X has a few tricks up its sleeve. Go to System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and change battery optimization from Normal to Better Battery Life. Or tell MacBook Pro to reduce its screen brightness and give yourself a little more time untethered.
Mobile expansion
ExpressCard is the PCMCIA standard replacement for the CardBus PC Card slot, providing a faster way to connect to a wide variety of peripherals including 3G wireless, external hard drives, and flash cards. ExpressCard/34 products currently available in the U.S. include:
- AT&T Option GT Max 3.6 Express HSDPA ExpressCard
- Novatel V640 EVDO ExpressCard
- NitroAV FireWire 800 ExpressCard
- FirmTek SeriTek/2SM2-E SATA ExpressCard
- Belkin Multimedia Reader and Writer ExpressCard
Scrolling trackpad
MacBook Pro can tell if you’ve got one finger on the pedal, or two. With two, you can easily scroll around your documents or open contextual menus.
When you need right-click functionality, simply open “Keyboard and Mouse” in System Preferences and enable the secondary click preference.
Sudden Motion Sensor
MacBook Pro helps protect your data if it detects a fall, by parking the hard drive head during fast changes in orientation.
Sounds surround
MacBook Pro sounds as good as it looks, with unprecedented attention to audio detail. For musicians on the go, MacBook Pro offers pristine sound through optical digital audio on both input and output.
Free yourself from the confines of a desk with the wireless technology in MacBook Pro. Collaborate with colleagues around the world from across the room using a Bluetooth headset and iChat AV over wireless Internet.1 Make last-minute changes to a presentation by sharing files over Bluetooth. MacBook Pro lets freedom ring.
Unplug the Internet
AirPort Extreme with 802.11n gives you blazing connectivity with speeds up to five times faster and up to two times the range compared to the 802.11g standard.2 This turbocharged technology lets you connect to the Internet without wires, additional phone lines, or complicated networking hardware
Wireless freedom
Cafes. Hotels. Even some airplanes. Every day more public spaces become “hot spots” — offering wireless Internet access and making the digital life more mobile than ever. The new AirPort Extreme with 802.11n is compatible with Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g technology. This gives MacBook Pro the flexibility to work with a variety of Wi-Fi access points, so all you road warriors can get connected wherever there’s a Wi-Fi network.
AirPort Extreme is also compatible with Windows PCs and the millions of Wi-Fi Certified 802.11 devices in use around the world. So even if your environment includes Windows PCs, you’ll be able to access your company’s wireless network.
Get your fair share
With Bonjour networking technology built into every MacBook Pro, the possibilities for wirelessly sharing files, printers, and data are nearly limitless. Your computer discovers other computers and peripherals on the same network. From there, you can print and share with secure simplicity.
Sync, look, and listen
