Apple MacBook Pro on BidsTick.com
Although the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro may look the same on the outside as older models, it now comes with significant upgrades and changes.
Inside the sleek aluminum case is Intel’s 2.4GHz mobile Core 2 Duo CPU, an upgrade that makes this machine capable of holding up against the horde of Windows Vista notebooks. You also get a new LED-backlit display on this 15-inch model, more power-efficient than the traditional LCD display, which makes for a longer battery life.
As always, Apple excels at aesthetics. Its minimalist design—a power button, a full-sized keyboard, stereo speakers, a touch pad with a single mouse button, and a built-in iSight camera—which is a staple of Apple’s, sets it apart from other notebooks in the market. In addition, the MacBook Pro’s thin aluminum chassis gives it a classy and streamlined look while making it lighter and easier to lug around when you’re on the go.
The MacBook Pro excels at benchmark tests thanks to its 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor. Also contributing to the machine’s performance is the built-in NVIDIA Geforce 8600M GT. This allows users to crush middle to even high level games at high resolutions. Performance-wise, you’re pretty safe with the MacBook Pro.
Of course, a review on the Apple MacBook Pro would not be complete without at least mentioning the software that comes with the machine. Apple’s OS X is touted by some as light years ahead of Vista (Yes, I know, I know, this can be an exaggeration). The software is bundled with unique programs that are handy and pretty easy to use.
It’s pretty amazing how Apple’s stuffed all these features into such a slim case. The MacBook Pro’s design and craftsmanship is definitely first class. The machine’s performance is also in top shape. If this notebook tickles your fancy, then head down to our penny auction system and start bidding!
