Apple Updates MacBook Pro with Next Generation Processors, Graphics & Thunderbolt I\/O Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\nCUPERTINO, California\u2014February 24, 2011\u2014Apple\u00ae today updated the industry-leading MacBook\u00ae Pro family with next generation processors and graphics, high-speed Thunderbolt I\/O technology and a new FaceTime\u00ae HD camera. Featuring the very latest dual-core and quad-core Intel Core processors, the entire MacBook Pro line is up to twice as fast as the previous generation.*<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new MacBook Pro brings next generation dual and quad Core processors, high performance graphics, Thunderbolt technology and FaceTime HD to the great design loved by our pro customers,\u201d said Philip Schiller, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. \u201cThunderbolt is a revolutionary new I\/O technology that delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second and can support every important I\/O standard which is ideal for the new MacBook Pro.\u201d<\/p>\n
Starting at S$1,648 the new 13-inch MacBook Pro offers amazing value and performance in a compact design. The highly portable 13-inch MacBook Pro features Intel Core i5 and Core i7 dual-core processors up to 2.7 GHz and Intel HD Graphics 3000. The powerful 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models feature quad-core Core i7 processors up to 2.3 GHz and AMD Radeon HD graphics processors with up to 1GB of video memory for high performance gaming, pro video editing and graphics intensive applications.<\/p>\n
MacBook Pro is the first computer on the market to include the groundbreaking Thunderbolt I\/O technology. Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt enables expandability never before possible on a notebook computer. Featuring two bi-directional channels with transfer speeds up to an amazing 10Gbps each, Thunderbolt delivers PCI Express directly to external high performance peripherals such as RAID arrays, and can support FireWire and USB consumer devices and Gigabit Ethernet networks via adapters. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays. Freely available for implementation on systems, cables and devices, Thunderbolt technology is expected to be widely adopted as a new standard for high performance I\/O.<\/p>\n
The MacBook Pro now includes a built-in FaceTime HD camera with triple the resolution of the previous generation for crisp, widescreen video calls. With Apple\u2019s innovative FaceTime video calling software, the new camera allows high definition video calls between all new MacBook Pro models and supports standard resolution calls with other Intel-based Macs, iPhone\u00ae 4 and the current generation iPod touch\u00ae. FaceTime is included with all new MacBook Pro models and is available for other Intel-based Macs from the Mac\u00ae App Store? for 99 cents (US). The MacBook Pro lineup continues to feature its gorgeous aluminum unibody enclosure, glass Multi-Touch\u2122 trackpad, LED-backlit widescreen display, illuminated full-size keyboard and 7-hour battery.**<\/p>\n
As the industry\u2019s greenest notebook lineup, every Mac notebook achieves EPEAT Gold status and meets Energy Star 5.0 requirements, setting the standard for environmentally friendly notebook design.*** Each unibody enclosure is made of highly recyclable aluminum and comes standard with energy efficient LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass. Mac notebooks contain no brominated flame retardants, are PVC-free and are constructed with recyclable materials.<\/p>\n
Every Mac comes with Mac OS\u00ae X Snow Leopard\u00ae, the world\u2019s most advanced operating system, and iLife\u00ae, Apple\u2019s innovative suite of applications for creating and sharing great photos, movies and music. Snow Leopard builds on more than a decade of innovation and includes multiple features for portable computing such as Multi-Touch navigation, advanced wireless networking, easy file sharing, automated data backup and intelligent power management. The new iLife \u201911 features iPhoto\u00ae with stunning full screen views for browsing, editing and sharing photos; iMovie\u00ae with powerful easy-to-use tools to transform home videos into fun theatrical trailers; and GarageBand\u00ae with new ways to improve your playing and create great sounding songs.
