The Fastest MacBooks Ever!

You’ve never seen a notebook computer with the power and speed of the Apple MacBook Pro. Powered by a dual-core Intel engine that's up to four times the speed of the PowerBook G4, the MacBook Pro delivers eight times the graphics bandwidth. Built-in iSight allows instant video conferencing on the move. Use Front Row with Apple Remote to dazzle your clients. And the Mac experts at Sweetwater can configure a MacBook-based music system custom-made for you!

Apple MacBook Pro Notebook Computer at a Glance:
  • Blazing-fast performance from Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
  • Built-in iSight for videoconferencing anywhere you are
  • Front Row and Apple Remote controls your music, video, and more
  • Includes iLife '06 software bundle


Blazing-fast performance from Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
The Apple MacBook Pro is the first Mac notebook built upon the revolutionary new Intel Core 2 Duo - which is actually two processors engineered onto a single chip. It provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between both cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding. And the new engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro has a frontside bus and memory that, at 667MHz, runs faster than any previous Mac notebook. It’s the first Mac notebook with PCI Express, a Serial ATA hard drive and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 for super-fast graphics performance.

Built-in iSight for videoconferencing anywhere you are
Sit down. Click on someone’s iChat icon. And video conference from anywhere in the world. Though you can barely see it, there’s an iSight camera built into the thin bezel just above the MacBook Pro display. So now you can conference with associates during the day and chat with the kids at night. iChat AV lets you video chat with up to three other people simultaneously. MacBook Pro also comes with Apple’s new Photo Booth application, a fun program that lets you take warped and Warholesque snapshots. With the new iLife ’06 (included, of course), you can even record movies with iSight right into iMovie, then use the new iLife’s newest application, iWeb, to create a video blog entry or podcast in just a few clicks.

Front Row and Apple Remote controls your music, video, and more
The first notebook to deliver the Front Row media experience, MacBook Pro makes it easy (and rather spectacular) to showcase your latest creations. Whether you’re at the client’s office, on location, or back at your hotel room, you just use the Apple Remote to control your videos, music, movies, and more. Front Row lets you quickly navigate through your work and play from anywhere in the room. You can even use the Apple Remote with your MacBook Pro to navigate through Keynote presentations.

Includes iLife '06 software bundle
MacBook Pro comes with iLife ’06, a suite of easy-to-use applications that make it easy for anyone to make postcards, calendars, DVDs, websites and podcasts. Even professionals with proficiencies in high-end applications can appreciate the ease of creating initial compositions. Or posting pictures, videos, and commentary of current events almost before they happened. Enjoy the freedom of the press on MacBook Pro.
