Apple MacBook Pro MC700LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop

ntroducing the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The state-of-the-art dual-core Intel i5 processor delivers up to 2x faster performance (over the previous generation of MacBook Pro). New Thunderbolt technology lets you connect high-performance peripherals and high-resolution displays to a single port, and transfer files at lightning speeds. And with the new built-in FaceTime HD camera, you can make astonishingly crisp HD video calls.

With the revolutionary Thunderbolt technology, you'll be able to achieve bi-directional channels with transfer speeds to peripherals like external hard drives and servers up to an amazing 10 Gbps--while also connecting to a DisplayPort-compatible high-resolution display.

As with previous models, the MacBook Pro features a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, creating a thin and light mobile computing workhorse (less than 1 inch thin and just 4.5 pounds) that's also highly durable. And it includes a 13.3-inch, LED-backlit glass display as well as a glass trackpad that doesn't include a button (for larger tracking area) that features Apple's Multi-Touch technology. You'll also get up to 7 hours of battery life while on the go.

This version of the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro (model MC700LL/A) features a 2.3 GHz Core i5 "Sandy Bridge" dual-core processor, 320 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM. Other features include integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics, ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, an SDXC card slot, two USB 2.0 ports, and a FireWire 800 port (see fullspecifications below). It also comes with the Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system as well as the iLife software suite, which includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.

Key Features

Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology

Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds in both directions. Built into the MacBook Pro, the Thunderbolt port allows you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub.

And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, you'll be able to connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. Any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to include your display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.

Next-Generation Dual-Core Intel Processor

This MacBook Pro is powered by a second-generation Intel Core i5 dual-core processor (dubbed "Sandy Bridge"), which provides breakthrough digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload.

Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking. And you'll enjoy a rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual experience with no additional hardware. The "Sandy Bridge" Core i5 processor also provides faster access to the installed RAM, with an integrated memory controller to connect fast 1333 MHz memory directly to the processor.

With new microarchitecture, the graphics processor resides on the same chip as the central processor and has direct access to the 3 MB of shared L3 cache--helping your applications run at peak performance. And an integrated video encoder enables HD video calls with FaceTime, while an efficient decoder gives you long battery life when you're watching DVDs or iTunes movies.

Comparing the MacBook and PC Notebook.

Comparing the MacBook and PC Notebook.
The world is my question. I often encounter the term. It is always oppressive. If I want to answer questions and decide.
That embarrassment, because by then. I think that the computer is a tool. We will be working. Which is that there are different factors that go. As the implementation of each one. It is not my sport, weightlifting. Will be called to give them one by one. I lifted the sleeve of the green, it does not raise the rest of the red, did nothing but shout out to summon elemental forces, it is not that something. It is troubling to think that there must be an issue.
However, by being placed into a mental refuge. For the Mac's office would help such a question always comes back to me. Especially with the sisters. Who are considering buying a Laptop for use with washing machines. And very often have their PC Expo trade show.
The introduction of our first touch before anything else, it is the "price" are now sitting typing this in the MacBook 13-inch version, the cheapest is $ 35,900 in computers that we have been cultivating the comparison. Spec Spec bring the computer with the stick compared to the MacBook is not surprising that expensive. That is such a model is the cheapest. If you look at the market price rises a bit later, I found that the MacBook is more expensive than other models as much. On the other hand, there are better and some of the Spec. (Compare Laptop prices from 59,900 to 60,000 baht from the database. Notebookspec) printed matter that is not inferior to the other MacBook Spec's another thing I was good at Spec. What is the difference between the price if compared with some of the Brand and the price is cause for hesitation.However, in other issues. If the common good. The MacBook has a much better, but it also uses the same view. In determining value. What might make us overlook them unfortunately. This would allow me to look in other areas such as post.

Benefits of the Macbook.

Do not think that the high price of my Macbook. I take advantage of it, he said. (As far as I know), it might change your mind. If we are to love this Mac. Terms of use. 1. How many programs I do not hold today, our work does not stop moving from one job to open the Word program. There may be music. Or even the many files open simultaneously. Or as he called Muti Tasking and the story of the Mac as fast as 10 programs on a hard, it may not hold. As freezes, it does not hold true to Restart, the CPU chip is Intel's Core 2 Duo iMac it out.
2. A beautiful one All in One. The following, I will talk to my iMac's design distinct May be one of the purchasing decisions of many people. The hardware unit such as CPU, hard disk, RAM is that everything is ready to run. The screen behind the screen of it, but it is not too thick. It is ideal for work because the iMac has a selection of 20 and 24 inches, many people may be compared with the 17-inch or 19-inch screen of its own. I really need to experience before. I find it very beautiful 4.'s Hardware, software, it's inevitable. Mac OS is equipped with a playoff system, so no need to come down. The new operating system with the ability to play with the camera easily. The many windows. Are you tired of looking at the window, I do not know. Com to the end. Enough to break the window with Spaces.
3. Comfortable with the program fully. Available, and extremely capable. Let me explain a little here. For in-depth capabilities of the software. I will explain in Part 2 Do not forget to watch it. Companies such as cutting the VDO my experience it is. To editing video on a computer that I will have to wait very long or Preview VDO, or as he called me Render me wait too long, but even took the mouse to move around. I played it a little Effect of eye-catching style that Mac will do it or not. It can be done immediately. The template is beautiful. I wanted to drag out the site, we do not immediately get the Scripts Scripts must be written to be called a blog post within 5 minutes.
