Apple recently unveiled New MacBook Pro models with faster processors and new Nvidia graphics.
One with Intel Core i5 Processor and another one with i7 Processor.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro still stays with Core 2 Duo and the price is also not changed I believe.
Even though these MacBook Pro models are powered by Nvidia graphics, they will also use Apple’s graphics switching technology.
Apple updated three New MacBook Pro models. They are listed below.
- 13-inch MacBook Pro
- 15-inch MacBook Pro
- 17-inch MacBook Pro
All the three have different configurations. I have listed them below.
1. 13-inch MacBook Pro
13-inch MacBook Pro comes with 4GB memory and Nvidia’s GeForce 320M graphics processor. They have two configurations.
1st Model : 2.4GHz processor and 250GB hard drive for $1,199.
2nd Model : 2.66GHz processor and 320GB hard drive for $1,499.
2. 15-inch MacBook Pro
15-inch MacBook Pro comes with three different configurations.
1st Model : 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and 320GB hard drive for $1,799.
2nd Model : 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and 500GB hard drive for $1,999.
3rd Model : 2.66GHz Intel Core i7, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M, and 500GB hard drive for $2,199.
3. 17-inch MacBook Pro
17-inch MacBook Pro comes with only one model.
It has a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, Nvidia GeForce GT 330M, and 500GB hard drive for $2,299.
Updated Battery Life :
For 13″ models : 10 hours (on a single charge)
For 15″ and 17″ models : 8-9 hours
Compared to older models this is much better! 😉
i am seriously considering a macbook pro for my second laptop , use it on large display , monitor . But its expensive at 1800$ for 15″ version , even on student discount ….
These are some great machines, but its hard to justify spending that kind of money for an Apple laptop. I paid $500 for my desktop about a year ago and its a quad core with 8GB of ram…it seems to handle everything I throw at it just fine.
that’s a good list of high end macbooks, sometimes i ask myself that do we really need those high specification stuff, i mean i can surely showoff those high specs to my friends 😛 but i don’t see any real use of those as my core2due is just too fine,
What would be next from Apple ?? 🙂
Thanks a lot pradeep. I really appreciate it..
You are always welcome buddy! 😉
Hey pradeep: Can you tell me the rates in INR..Coz they are normally more than the US currency .. I mean if you convert $ to Rupee then buying in $ is way cheaper in case of Apple devices..
So can you tell me the official cost of these models in India?
Check this Rohit!
