MacBook Pro is loaded with powerful new features that make a great notebook even greater.

New processors and graphics. Pull out all the stops.

Top-of-the-line processors.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro features the new 2.3GHz and 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processors with 6MB of shared L3 cache and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6GHz.

The 13-inch model also speeds things up with either the 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 or the 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 — the fastest mobile dual-core processor available. With Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6GHz, these processors bring more power to everything you do.

The very latest graphics.
The new integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor boosts performance by up to 60 per cent. That extra power gives you a smoother, more fluid experience than before. It’s still highly efficient too, so you get long battery life when you’re out and about.

For graphics-intensive applications, the 15-inch MacBook Pro automatically switches to the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete processor with up to 1GB of video memory. It’s also up to 60 per cent faster than the previous generation, so you see more frames per second in 3D games and get greater speed and responsiveness for your HD video projects.

The fastest, most versatile I/O in a notebook.

Imagine accessing multiple streams of uncompressed HD video — from your MacBook Pro — at speeds that let you edit an HD feature film in real time. Thunderbolt technology allows you to connect the high-performance peripherals that make it possible. Ultra-fast and ultra-flexible, the Thunderbolt pipeline is up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and offers unprecedented expansion capabilities.

FaceTime HD camera. Say “hi” in high def.

Get more of your friends in on the fun with crisp, widescreen HD video. The picture is so clear, it will look and feel almost like you’re in the same room. You can make 720p HD calls from your MacBook Pro to any Mac with a FaceTime HD camera. You can also make video calls to iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch and other Intel-based Mac computers.

Multi-Touch trackpad. Be more hands-on.

The Multi-Touch trackpad is the most natural way to interact with what’s on your screen, and the smooth glass surface gives you plenty of room for gestures. Pinch to zoom in and out, swipe to flip through photos, rotate to adjust an image and much more. The buttonless design lets you click anywhere. And if you’re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you’ll wonder how you ever did without it.

A long-lasting battery. Charge less. Do more.

MacBook Pro delivers amazing battery life. And that’s with more powerful processors and faster graphics than ever. An energy-efficient processor architecture with an integrated video encoder, along with automatic graphics switching in the 15-inch model, helps improve battery life. So you can get up to seven hours on a single charge.

It’s very well connected.

MacBook Pro automatically finds available networks and allows you to join them with a click. And the latest three-stream 802.11n wireless technology gives you the best possible performance at the greatest range. Bluetooth wireless technology is also built in, so you can use your favourite wireless accessories straight out of the box.

Ports with possibility.

With the Thunderbolt port, you can daisy-chain as many as six devices — including an Apple Thunderbolt Display and Mini DisplayPort peripherals — to create a fully fledged workstation. And with support for video and eight-channel audio, it’s easy to connect HDMI-compatible devices — like your TV and home stereo — using an HDMI adapter (sold separately). Current VGA, DVI and DisplayPort adapters are also supported.

Two new USB 3 ports let you access a pipeline that's up to 10 times faster than USB 2. And your USB 2 devices can still plug straight in. If you have devices that use FireWire 800, there’s a port for that too. And an SDXC card slot that supports up to 64GB cards makes it a snap to transfer all those photos to and from your MacBook Pro, so you can edit and share them on the spot.

Burn DVDs super-fast.

Use the 8x SuperDrive on MacBook Pro to burn DVDs in no time. Since the SuperDrive writes to double-layer discs (DVDs with nearly 9GB of space), it’s great for backing up data too.

The inside story. And the outside story too.

With its durable unibody enclosure, LED-backlit display and Multi-Touch trackpad, MacBook Pro looks beautiful. And works beautifully.

Strength. Lightness. Beauty. Seamlessly integrated.

MacBook Pro is machined from a single piece of aluminium, an engineering breakthrough that replaced many parts with just one. It’s called the unibody. And the first time you pick up a MacBook Pro, you’ll notice the difference it makes. The entire enclosure is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable — perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.

A display full of bright ideas.

Everything Apple designers and engineers do, they do for a reason. They chose LED backlight technology for the MacBook Pro because it makes the display instantly bright and allows it to be incredibly thin. They used edge-to-edge glass not just because it looks beautiful, but because it lends structure to the display. And at the top of the screen, they hid the built-in FaceTime HD camera. So you see your friends and family in big, beautiful widescreen — and as little of the camera as possible.

FaceTime HD Camera
The FaceTime HD camera built into the MacBook Pro display lets you make FaceTime video calls in 720p resolution.

Multi-Touch trackpad. It just feels right.

The Multi-Touch trackpad has no button because it is the button. That means there’s more room to track and more room to click — left, right, centre and everywhere in between. Apple designers and engineers spent countless hours considering things like sensitivity (how much pressure triggers a click?), audio feedback (what does the click sound like?) and friction over the smooth glass surface (what does it feel like?). The result is a trackpad that just makes sense to you — and your fingers.

Magnetic Latch
Because the magnetic latch has no moving parts to snag, jam or break, even opening and closing your MacBook Pro is a pleasure.

Plenty of ways to plug in.

With MagSafe power, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, Thunderbolt, USB 3, SDXC and audio in/out, MacBook Pro gives you just about every connection and port you might need.



MagSafe Power Adapter
The power lead is held in place magnetically, so if someone trips over it, the lead disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put safely.

Thunderbolt Port
Thunderbolt lets you connect high-performance devices and high-resolution displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. Mini DisplayPort devices also plug straight in. And VGA, DVI, dual-link DVI and HDMI devices can be connected using adapters (sold separately).
