The Unibody MacBook Pro Design
    Usually notebooks are made from many parts. With the MacBook Pro all of those parts with just one part the breakthrough unibody enclosure. Every MacBook Pro starts its life as a single block of aluminum, which is exactly machined into the basic unibody design. Another pass and the unibody takes form. Another, and the integrated keyboard emerges. When you pick up a new MacBook Pro, you now notice the complete enclosure is thinner and lighter. And it feels strong and durable perfect for life inside and outside your briefcase or backpack.

    Off the shelf lithium ion cells come in fixed, cylindrical shapes. The 13 inch MacBook Pro is powered by custom made, ultrathin lithium polymer batteries. The standard aluminum electro static trackpad was replaced with a new glass Multi Touch trackpad, which gives 40 more tracking area than before. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate a picture with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. The complete trackpad surface is a button, allowing you to both track and click virtually anywhere on the trackpad. And you may be able to easily enable many virtual buttons in software, like right clicking. The keyboard also has been improved, with the rigid aluminum keyboard webbing cut exactly to hold the keys, which are curved to perfectly fit fingers. And it is illuminated, so when you are in low light settings, like airplanes or conference rooms, you may be able to generally see what you are typing. The 13 inch display is made of edge to edge, uninterrupted glass for a smooth, seamless surface and features LED backlighting for smart instant on performance that uses up to 30 less energy than its predecessor. The ultra thin displays supply crisp pictures and vivid colors which are ideal for looking at photos and movies Long Lasting Battery
    The 13 inch MacBook Pro now will include a newly engineered lithium polymer battery that that lasts up to seven hours on a single charge thanks to advanced chemistry, intelligent monitoring of the system and battery, and Adaptive Charging technology. The battery is built right into the computer, eliminating the space consuming mechanisms and housings that standard removable batteries require. This non removable battery also gives a longer battery lifespan of up to 1000 recharges meaning fewer depleted batteries and less waste, which is better for the environment. Giving it a lifespan of up to 1000 recharges obliged breakthroughs in battery technology. Apple electro chemists developed advanced chemistry that maintains the battery’s charging potential longer than ever. And while most notebooks wear down their batteries by charging them at a constant rate, the 13 inch MacBook Pro takes a different approach. Using an Apple developed technology called Adaptive Charging, a microchip on the battery constantly communicates with the computer to find out the best way to charge its cells, adjusting the current up and down based on a range of conditions. Joint, these advancements offer a dramatic improvement in battery lifespan: more than three times the lifespan of common notebook batteries up to five years. Intel Core two Duo Processor
    Experience improved energy efficiency, extended wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 2.26 GHz Intel Core two Duo processor, which has a super fast 1066 MHz front side bus FSB, and an big three MB L2 cache. An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data, and a bigger L2 cache may help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front side bus will deliver better in general performance. The hafnium infused circuitry which decreases electrical current leakage in transistors conserves more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. With three MB of shared L2 cache, data and information may be kept close to the two processor cores, largely rising performance and allowing the complete system to work more proficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache, either can use the complete total if the other happens to be idle. Video Processing &amp, Output
    The MacBook Pro delivers both powerful graphics performance and long battery life via the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor, which gives an remaining everyday graphics experience with up to a 5x performance increase.

    4.0 out of five stars
    Switched from Windows: More good than bad. Great hardware,
    July 6, 2009

    By&nbsp,Jeffrey Stanley Wichita, KS United States See all my reviews
    REAL NAME
    &nbsp,&nbsp,

    &nbsp,&nbsp,

    This is my 1st Mac computer. My 1st four computers ran Win 3.1, Windows 95, XP, and Vista from about 1995 present. I have quite many of time spent on each of them. Switching from Windows to Mac isn’t hard, but it may be a bit frustrating for a week or so. There are Windows features that you’ll miss, but they’re usually overcome by in general benefits I believe.

    I’ve spent two weeks with this machine now. If I had written this review after one day, I could have most likely stated that I regretted the switch to Mac. After to get more proficient with the machine and realizing how well it works, I could certainly recommend it to a friend.

    This review is going to be a mix of my impressions of both the hardware and the Mac operating system from a new Mac user perspective.

    The only difference between my machine and the one on this product page is that I ordered directly from Apple and upgraded the hard drive to 250GB from the 160GB base option. I’m using 2gb of ram and the lower end processor.

    My Mac OS impressions:

    The biggest thing I missed from Windows at 1st was the task bar. Mac uses the “dock” to replace the task bar. The dock is kind of like the fast launch toolbar in Windows spread out across the complete bar, with big icons. Having used windows with a task bar for the past 13 years, I missed the capability to see all open programs and switch between them with the task bar. The dock has a tiny dot below the icon on running programs, but nothing else to separate it from other program and folder icons. The dock isn’t almost as useful for multitasking as the task bar.

    The saving grace that rescues the Mac from uncomfortable app switching while multitasking is called expose. Expose is activated by either pressing a key or using a multitouch gesture four finger swipe. Expose uses the complete screen to display all open windows and let you to switch between them. It is like alt+tab on steroids. Having used the machine for a couple weeks, I miss using expose when I use my Windows machine. As much as I hated the dock at 1st, I have to give the advantage to the Mac for managing many windows while multitasking.

    The controls for open windows are quite different than in MS Windows. In Mac, there’s a resize, hide, and minimize button instead of maximize, minimize, restore, and close. To shut an app on the mac you have to use a menu command or keyboard shortcut. The Mac resize button kind of works like restore/maximize, only it is a bit more uncomfortable. A commenter here pointed out that it resizes the window for ideal looking at without using the complete screen. I find myself resizing windows by dragging corners more than I ever did on a Windows machine. I really miss the capability to maximize, if for no other reason but to avoid distractions. The green resize button can be better on an huge monitor, but not on a 13″ notebook. When you minimize or hide an app on the Mac, it’s only available from the dock and is hidden from expose. I will give the window size management advantage to Windows in this contest. The windows system is just easier and more logical I believe. It is not a deal breaker, but I do miss the Windows “window controls.” If you’re a recurrent user of the F11 key while web browsing in Windows you will have to kiss that feature goodbye. Neither Firefox nor Safari will go full screen.

    Windows Explorer is “replaced” with an app called Finder. Finder is kind of like the start menu and an explorer window all rolled up into one. Compared with older variants of Windows, finder is adequate but Vista’s explorer is a pretty bit easier and more logical to use. I favor Vista’s preview pane to Mac’s coverflow. I miss the “up folder” button. I have found myself usually using the view that puts files, folders and apps into a column view for simplest computer browsing, and it just is not as elegant as Windows Vista. The lack of a maximize button caused frustration particularly in the finder, because the finder likes to stay in a small window unless you drag the corners.

    The Safari web browser is nice and fast and has a decent security repute. I have been switching back and forth between Safari and Firefox. Firefox crashed a couple of times and I really like being able to use multitouch gestures with Safari, so I am leaning toward making Safari my major web tool. Reading RSS feeds, and the bookmark toolbar are really well done in Safari. Browsers are so personal that it is hard to recommend one over the other, but as a Firefox user in Windows I think I have high standard and Safari has met or exceeded them.

    I totally hate the iPhoto app. Iphoto doesn’t let you to manage and browse your photos in folders. It imports your pictures and kinds them itself depending on time/date stamps on the photos. This works good for personal vacation snapshots but it totally mixed up the rest of my pictures. Folders that were neatly organized for work projects, and fun web clippings, and adult stuff were all shuffled into one big mess after I imported my image collection. I ended up just deleting all of them and not using iphoto at all. Now I am just using Finder to browse my photos and the preview app to view them. Light editing work is not possible in the preview app and I still have not decided what to use for a basic photo editor still. Vista’s photo app is junk but it is still superior to iPhoto if you like to keep your photos organized using your folder system. I know people who love iphoto. It comes down to if you want the capability to manage your collection yourself. If you have a big mess of photos, you will love iphoto’s capability to manage them via event and face recognition.

    Edited to add: you may be able to manage your photos into “albums” after you import them into iPhoto, but be prepared to use up many of time reorganizing everything. After you manage into albums, the major library screen gives you views of your complete collection perhaps things you do not want everyone to see.

    I haven’t used Garage Band or iMovie still. I will update afterward when I get a chance.

    Edited to add: I played with garage band a bit and it is pretty powerful. It lets you to import and export AAC and MP3 tracks and record sound in many tracks. Easy to use. The only other audio app I have ever used is audacity and I much favor Garage Band. I have not used any of the music lessons it offers still but plan to soon.

    I played with iMovie for some minutes and it looks pretty nice and intuitive. I really do not mind Windows Movie Maker, which is included with Vista. I could not think about it a big step up from Win Movie Maker, but it is a nice app.

    The mail, calendar, and address book apps are basic but work very well. The address app will import common file types easily. It’ll sync with out of the box. Address book will only sync with Google contacts if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch.

    Everyone has an opinion about iTunes. I am a big fan of it. It is exactly like the windows variant only it runs a bit faster without the bugs. If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, the Windows iTunes bug with time/date being wrong after the computer sleeps isn’t an issue on the Mac.

    Time machine is the Mac’s backup app. It’s amazing and simple. I am using an external drive plugged into my Apple Airport wireless router, as a backup disk. My wireless disk showed up on my desktop instantly once I plugged it into the router. Time machine noticed the external drive now and went to work backing up my files after asking permission of course. Now my machine automatically backs up any changes every hour as long as I am in range of my wireless access point. Time machine is a big load off my mind. If I ever have a drive failure or my computer is destroyed I have an exact backup of everything without remembering to backup my files. Vista will backup as indicated by a set schedule, but it lacks the capability to easily look through backups for particular files. Time machine is great and make wireless backup effortless.

    The Mac disk utility is nearly as good as the one in Vista and it is easier to use. It is far superior to the one in XP. I used it to format my external wireless drive because the Mac router could not read NTFS formating although the computer can read NTFS drives via USB for many reason.

    The graphics control software is a delight to use. When I plug in my external monitor it now extends my desktop to the new monitor. Adjusting everything from resolution to rotation could not be any easier.

    Boot camp is a utility that lets you to create a partition and install Windows as a secondary boot system you have to own or purchase a legal single disk 32bit copy of either Windows XP or Windows Vista. When you start up the boot camp utility, it gives you a choice between using either five or 32 GB of space for the Windows partition. I learned the hard way that Windows XP SP3 will not fit into 5GB. You have to give it at least the 32 GB which left me with nearly exactly 200GB on my “250″ GB drive. Installing Windows using the Boot Camp utility is very easy. Once you get Windows loaded, your OSX install disk makes fast work of installing drivers for your laptop’s hardware. It is too bad that Nvidia and HP are not as good at putting together easy Windows driver packages as Apple. To boot into Windows, you simply press the “option” key throughout bootup and it lets you to decide which OS to run. Windows XP totally screams on this hardware.

    The hardware:

    The hardware is where this computer really shines.

    The biggest advantage is.

    5.0 out of five stars
    Macbook graduates to PRO status!,
    June 15, 2009

    By&nbsp,Nate “bigetan” MD See all my reviews

    This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MB991LL/A 13.3 Inch Laptop Personal Computers

    Well I must say I’m happy i didn’t purchase apple’s 1st iteration of the 13″ aluminum macbook last year b/c they really got it right the second time around upgrading it to a macbook pro! Its nice to have that “pro” stamp on a 13″ now! Apple listened to their customers adding nearly everything we asked for and more, and managed to decrease the price! Thanks Apple!

    CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR

    $100 less

    13″ aluminum macbooks became macbook pros

    2.53Ghz up from 2.4GHz dual core

    4GB RAM up from 2GB

    Led display has 60 greater color gamut than last model

    New advanced fitted battery that lasts up to seven hours vs 4hrs

    FireWire is back after all the complaints of 1st model

    SD card slot replaces express card slot

    New models now come with iLife ‘09

    Separate audio input is gone

    New model uses the same integrated mic and headset port as the iPhone

    PROS

    A price cut with a performance upgrade! i knew apple could do it. I has been tired of paying for aesthetics and not performance.

    New Snow Leopard Operating System comes pre installed! Same great easy use with much faster performance!

    Much better lcd screen! inline with the pro models.Still glossy and still many glare but much nicer!

    Backlight keyboard on all 13″ models now! i really enjoy this as it may be controlled from low to high

    Battery life is considerably better than last year. I get about six hours with regular use not the 7hrs that’s reported

    The computer is intended beautifully really a head turner.

    ILife 09 suite is superb for pictures, movies, and music. Good software really does sell hardware.

    SD card slot accepts SDHC, which goes up to 32GB and works like a charm. Can boot from SD card as well

    CONS

    Aluminum outer casing does dent easily if dropped. Buy a soft case for it!

    Power cord is short and doesn’t reach as many places as I could like.Must sit close to power outlet.

    Battery can not be removed easily

    SD card sticks about half way out of slot. Eye sore.

    Blu ray choice could have been nice but understandable given licensing fees. Many blurays are offering digital copies which help

    Taking into consideration all the great enhancements over last year with a nice price cut I can now really recommend this near perfect Macbook Pro!

    5.0 out of five stars
    Not sure why all of the haters keep griping about Compact Flash.,
    June 30, 2009

    By&nbsp,D. Rich Atlanta, GA USA See all my reviews
    REAL NAME
    &nbsp,&nbsp,

    I just got my brand new 13.3″ Macbook Pro in the mail. I customized mine with 4GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, but with the entry level 2.26 GHz Intel processor. I unboxed it in front of my mother and sister, and they were both oohing and aahing about how beautiful and thin it was. They also loved the magnetic connector on the end of the power adapter that snaps the power cord into the computer almost by itself. I powered the computer up, went through the Leopard setup screens, and inside minutes has been logged in. While starting up, the light sensor powered on, the screen dimmed, and the keyboard lit up automatically. Everything about this computer suggests ingenious design and engineering, with great attention to every detail. It’s light, and since I’m using this for school, I’m happy with the size and form factor, especially the charger. Switching from a big Dell that sported a charger that may be used to bludgeon somebody to death, the small white charger that’s about the size of a wallet is a breath of new air. This laptop will be a pleasure to travel with.

    Are there things this computer lacks? Yes, there’s no Blu Ray player, which could have been nice, but for me wasn’t a deal breaker. I suspect that the next gen MBP’s will phase out the rotating hard drives and switch to hard state as the standard, and will all have Blu Ray players. Till that time, this little laptop is more than enough.

    If I had to create a gripe about this computer, there’s really only one and this is true for most of Apple’s products the iPod, iPhone, and MBP’s I wish that they could not coat movable merchandise with textures that are so easy to scratch. It’s obvious that after some months of toting this to class, it’s going to have many scuffs on it. It looks like some a paradox that a company that puts so much value on aesthetics looks only to care about how the product looks when it’s taken out of the original packaging. That said, this laptop feels very tough, and separately from normal wear and tear marks, I’m not fearful that it’ll fall separately, which is a whole lot more than I can say for my last part of crap plastic Dell.

    In reading other reviews, people seem to be unable to understand that this qualifies as an ultra portable laptop. It’s simply not going to have a peripheral hookup for each kind of flash card and five USB hookups. Are people serious with lambasting Apple for merging the audio jack in/out ports into one single port? Really, who gives a rat’s a$$? This is a movable computer, not a media center. If you’re a user who favors those things, then you’re free to go out and buy the needed adapters, but I could rather have a lightweight computer that I can tote around. If you want a laptop that’s prepared for any occasion, go purchase an eight lb. Dell desktop substitute, and have fun. I for one think people just want a reason to moan or find something to complain about. The fact is that for the money, you aren’t going to find a better laptop than this one. It costs a bit more than competing PC merchandise, but I owned Dell’s and HP’s, and I can tell you, you get what you pay for. If you use your laptop for at least a couple of hours a day, I think it’s worth a couple hundred extra to get a really high quality product that makes you happy, and that’s why I upgraded to the MBP.

    Verified PurchaseWhat’s this?

    Just received my Asus UL30A X5 yesterday. After much review, and a try out with an Acer 1410, I decided that I wanted a full sized chiclet/island keyboard and the bigger screen. I am already quite happy with my choice. At the &lt,$700 price point, this is an excellent notebook.

    Pros

    Keyboard. A pleasure to type on.

    Touchpad. It drags at 1st, but once you get many finger oil on it, and change the pointer speed, it is one of the best that I have used. Smooth two finger scroller. Support for customized two and three finger click.

    Screen. Bright and easy to read at 30 degree angles.

    Battery life. Yes, it’ll do over ten hours.

    Weight/size. One inch thin and light.

    Body. Love the brushed black metal look on the case.

    Asus facial recognition login. Did not think that I could care, but it is nice to have the computer log in, without touch, when I am sitting in front of it.

    Asus FastBoot not the BIOS fast boot. This allows you to configure which programs load throughout startup and which load after. Speeds up the boot a pretty bit.

    Decent speakers. Not ear destroying, but suited for the size. Much better than most netbooks.

    Cons

    Placement of touchpad. It still registers my palm as I am typing at the extreme setting. Downloaded the new touchpad driver, but that did not fix. Still looking for a solution. This is by far the most frustrating problem. UPDATE: The TouchFreeze utility looks to nearly fix the issue.

    Case still shows fingerprints.

    Web cam is low res and has difficulty in low light haven’t tried different drivers yet.

    Excellent Ultra Portable Laptop at a Great Price!,
    October 27, 2009

    By&nbsp,TJ Colorado See all my reviews

    Verified PurchaseWhat’s this?

    I newly bought the Asus UL30A X5 through and am happy with my choice. Let me 1st begin by shortly explaining what I looked for in a new laptop, as I believe that will give the reader better info when deciding if this laptop is right for them. I’m now a student on a budget and looked for the following: 1 Less than $700 in price, 2 Screen size between 13 14″, 3 Windows seven already installed I did not want an older computer with Vista that I could have to manually upgrade to Win seven myself, 4 At least 320GB HD, three GB DDR3 RAM, and a Pentium Core two Duo SU7300 equivalent or greater processor, 5 Thin and light, and 6 4+ hard hours of battery life. Though a netbook offers a small size and easy portability, I did not want to sacrifice power and performance for everyday tasks. On the other hand, I also did not want a big “desktop replacement” laptop that could be a annoyance to carry around or hard to take with me anytime I was away from home. In summary, I wanted a laptop that offered a good mix of power, performance, and size for my money. With that being said, here is my impression far after two days of using this computer:

    Pros:

    Performance: Able to smoothly and proficiently handle everything I wanted to do to this point. It’s faster than my three year old 15.6″ Dell Inspiron that I first paid $1300 for at the time.

    Size and Weight: could not be happier with the sleek look and light weight. It seems better in person than in the pictures.

    Quality: many people may think you’re sacrificing quality for a laptop with the specifications for under $700. I think this computer is built well, and could argue it stands up to the much costly or name brand models in the same class.

    Warranty: The accidental protection warranty offers another part of mind, which is something not frequently included without an extra cost in other laptops.

    Keyboard: easy to use, great design!

    Mousepad: I love the textured touchpad on this model. It’s hard to see in the pictures, but the touchpad is really not a conventional “pad”, but a bunch of tiny dots that track the motion of your finger. As well, I really like the extra features like being able to scroll up or down a page by using two fingers anywhere on the pad.

    Cons:

    The only thing that I’m not too excited about is the small or “smaller” when in comparison to my bigger laptop mouse buttons below the touchpad. This may be something that just takes a little to get used to, but it’s more hard to click the buttons than on my older laptop. Again, this is my 1st 13.3″ laptop so it most likely just comes with the nature of a smaller laptop and I’ll get used to it with time, but it is just something I wanted to point out if you’re transitioning from a big laptop to a smaller one.

    Overall, I could not be happier with my buy. Sure, there are better laptops on the market as many will argue, but only if you’re wanting to use up $1000+. This computer certainly earns “5 stars” and I think anybody who is looking for an cheap, ultra portable laptop with powerful performance will be happy also.

    Verified PurchaseWhat’s this?

    I really love this computer in spite of the facts that it has many issues. I really like the finish, it is thin, less than one inch, but by no means is thinner than the macbook air. The casing is sexy, it seems nice from all angles. The keyboard is amazing, the only problem is that it has a little flex but its not the end of the world I can type pretty well. The most annoying thing may be the touchpad, whenever you type and you have your hands located close to it, the touchpad may register many click while you type. Many of people are talking about the battery life of this computer that it will not reach ten hours, I can confirm I get 11+ hours on this lappie, Windows seven is more energy economical than Vista note: I tested under wireless off, lowest screen light, power saving mode, word 2007. I really enjoy the price point its less than $700, which is the ideal price for the performance.

    PROS:

    Stylish, sexy looking.

    Keyboard feels amazing.

    Multi touch track pad works well

    Fast in comparison to a netbook C2D, 4GB DDR3

    Battery life 11+ hours

    Smart Logon, nice cool feature

    Big hard drive 500GB

    LED screen has nice looking at angles

    Light and portable

    The charger is small and movable too.

    Deafening quality speakers from small size

    Warranty, one Year of accidental Damage

    Price its a deal!

    CONS:

    Fingerprint magnet inside and outside

    Deafening Hard drive a little annoying

    Little flex on the keyboard

    ASUS bloatware

    Intel GMA4500MHD, where’s the UL30A VT? Can not do gaming

    It does not cook, do laundry, or cleans my room.

    This computer is perfect for students, and travelers. Recommended
