So fast, you’ll forget it’s a notebook.
MacBook Pro puts desktop-class graphics in a portable package. That makes it the ultimate mobile solution for gamers, video editors, photographers, and design professionals.
Get the best of both worlds.
The new MacBook Pro combines the efficiency of an integrated graphics processor with the desktop-class performance of a discrete graphics processor. That’s because it has both. Out of the box, it runs the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor, which provides plenty of performance for everyday use with up to 5 hours of battery life.* But when you need turbocharged performance for the most graphically intensive tasks, the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT processor delivers. And thanks to a new graphics architecture, it’s easy to switch between these two processors.
Play faster.
With faster performance and higher frame rates for graphically demanding 3D games like Quake, Call of Duty, and Spore, MacBook Pro plays like a console — an extremely portable one.
Gaming Performance
Get up to 2.3x faster performance with discrete graphics over integrated graphics.
Organise faster.
Whether you’re a professional photographer or a casual photographer who takes professional-quality pictures, MacBook Pro and Aperture make quick work of even the largest RAW files. With even more powerful graphics performance, search through thousands of photos more efficiently. Examine images closely, make final selects, and enhance — all on location.
Edit and animate faster.
Professional editing and animation demand professional performance. With MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio 2, journalists can capture breaking stories, edit, and deliver footage on the fly. Editors can cut on set or on an airplane. And with improvements across the board for rendering and encoding, MacBook Pro is a portable animation studio.
Create faster.
The combination of the powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics processor, and the stunning 15-inch LED-backlit display makes the new MacBook Pro the perfect notebook for Adobe Creative Suite MacBook Pro has all the power you need to design, illustrate, and animate — wherever and whenever inspiration strikes.
Mini DisplayPort.
The new MacBook Pro has a small port that makes a big difference. The Mini DisplayPort is a brand-new, industry-standard port. It delivers a pure digital connection to external displays — even large 30-inch displays — quickly and without a glitch. No more multiple-pin connectors with unwieldy screws; the ultracompact Mini DisplayPort gives you plug-and-play performance with the new Apple LED Cinema Display. And it supports VGA and DVI connections, too.
Get the (really) big picture.
With a MacBook Pro, you can work or play anywhere. But there are times when great graphics performance positively begs for more pixels. Introducing the Apple LED Cinema Display: the first display designed specifically for the new MacBook Pro.
The new 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display transforms your MacBook Pro into a desktop computer in seconds. Plug in three simple connectors — Mini DisplayPort, USB, and MagSafe — and suddenly you have more room to work and play, plenty of space for peripherals, and an automatic charge for your MacBook Pro. You don’t even need to take your power adapter out of your bag. And instantly, everything you see is bigger, brighter, and even more brilliant.
