Under the hood, the MacBook has a 2.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 CPU and 2GB of RAM. And as always, Photo Booth's package of special effects is robust and fun to use. The good news is that it was quick to autofocus as we moved around in front of the camera. Although our video, too, was bright with lifelike colors, we noticed some motion blur. As with the MacBook Pro, it captured a good amount of detail, such as the shine in our hair. Moreover, the screen's quality doesn't quite measure up to that of its big brother, the 15-inch Pro.Ĭlick to enlargeLike other MacBooks, this one has a VGA iSight camera embedded in the bezel. The downside is that the bezel picks up fingerprints easily.

The 13.3-inch, 1280 x 800-pixel screen is gorgeous, in no small part because of the seamless, edge-to-edge bezel. Mac users have always been able to "right-click" by tapping with two fingers, but now, users can designate the lower right section of the touchpad for right-clicking.Īnother welcome design change is the MacBook Pro's LED-backlit display with a flat, black bezel. For instance, we were able to zoom in on a Safari page by spreading two fingers apart we could not replicate this in Firefox 3. Unfortunately, you can still use multi-touch only in Apple applications. Mastering the art of multi-touch took a few minutes, but once we did, it became addictive. The touchpad has just the right amount of resistance. Once you realize that you'll get better results by pressing down on the lower end of the pad, using it feels intuitive. Rather, the entire pad doubles as a button.

The default warranty for the MacBook is one year of coverage for parts and labor, but toll-free telephone support is limited to a mere 90 days-well short of what you'd typically find on the PC side-unless you purchase the $349 AppleCare Protection Plan, which extends phone support and repair coverage to three years.Aside from its size, the other notable feature of the touchpad is its lack of buttons. We're still not fans of Apple's nearly obligatory extended warranty upsell (so much so that we've simply copied this complaint from our last MacBook review).

Both systems had identical graphics cards, so we credit the CPU.ĭespite some initial concerns that the revamped MacBook Pro offered less battery life, we got an impressive 4 hours and 23 minutes with our battery drain test-that's 47 minutes more than the older version of the MacBook Pro, and 20 minutes more than the MacBook Air. Running Quake 4 at 1,024x768, we got 88 frames per second, compared to only 65 frames per second from the 2007 version of the MacBook Pro.

The Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card allows for some basic gaming-although if you plan on playing games on the MacBook Pro, you'll probably want to install Windows on a separate partition through Boot Camp. The MacBook Air was well behind-its custom Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, designed to fit into the Air's extra-thin chassis, is slower than the typical Core 2 Duos found in most laptops. With the newest Penryn CPUs, the MacBook Po offers an excellent boost in performance over the previous mid-2007 Pro revision in our benchmark tests, although a pre-Penryn 13-inch MacBook from late 2007 was nearly as fast, reinforcing our opinion that Intel's Penryn CPUs, while more energy efficient, don't offer much of a performance boost.

The MacBook Pro remains the only laptop we can think of with a FireWire 800 jack (along with the more common FireWire 400), useful for digital video fans, but we still think adding a simple SD card slot would be a huge plus for the Pro (and let's get that on the regular 13-inch MacBook, too, while we're at it).

Despite our love for a clean look, we've also become used to having at least a few media control keys-attractive touch-sensitive media controls now regularly pop up on even the cheapest laptops. Physically, the refreshed 15-inch MacBook Pro is identical to its predecessors, still only 1 inch thick, but now that we've had time to get used to the thinner, lighter MacBook Air, it feels positively huge in comparison.īy now we're very familiar with the minimalist layout-open the lid and inside you'll find only a power button, a full-size keyboard, stereo speakers, a sizable touch pad with a single mouse button, and a built-in iSight camera.
