Review & Description
Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is a true engineering achievement. Its patented unibody enclosure is the product of precise machining. The new energy-efficient architecture in the MacBook Pro, gives you dramatically longer battery life. On a single charge, the battery in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro lasts up to 10 hours, and you’ll get up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles — that’s nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries. MacBook Pro gives you more options for high-performance graphics, starting with the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M integrated graphics processor in the 13-inch model. It’s up to 80 percent faster than the previous generation and is even more energy-efficient for everyday tasks like writing email and surfing the web. Every MacBook Pro has a pristine LED-backlit display with wide-angle viewing and a color gamut usually seen only on a desktop display. So whether you’re watching a movie or making one, you’ve got the perfect canvas. The ultrathin, seamless glass enclosure makes the display strong and durable. And because it’s power efficient and free of mercury and arsenic, this display is greener than ever. The 13-Inch MacBook Pro has advanced Intel Core 2 Duo processors. It also comes standard with a large hard drive offering up to 250 or 320GB of storage capacity, so there’s plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files. And of course all MacBook Pros come standard with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Operating System and iLife.
The new MacBook Pro sets all-new benchmarks for Mac notebooks. This 13-inch MacBook Pro features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and next-generation NVIDIA graphics that bring high performance to everything from 3D games to photos and videos. And the built-in battery lasts up to 10 hours.
As with previous models, the new 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) thats also highly durable. And it includes a 13.3-inch, LED-backlit glass display as well as a glass trackpad that doesnt include a button (for larger tracking area) that features Apples Multi-Touch technology.
This version of the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro (model MC374LL/A) features a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 250 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of installed RAM. Other features include integrated Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, an SD card slot, and two USB 2.0 ports (see full specifications 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
(see larger image).
Intel Core 2 Duo Processing
Combining fast processing speeds with power-saving features, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor provides greater multitasking performance by combining two independent processor cores while also reducing power requirements and saving on battery life. This Intel Core 2 Duo processor has a 2.4 GHz processor speed, speedy 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your systems performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
High Performance Graphics
Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card, the Mac mini allows you to view flawless video in full screen HD and play the latest games with fast frame rate. Its a great match to editing video masterpieces with iMovie and managing your photos in iPhoto, and it comes with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM thats shared with main memory.
Buttonless Multi-Touch Trackpad
With no button on the glass trackpad, theres more room to track and click--left, right, center, and everywhere in between. Without a separate button, the trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger swipe. And it also now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites.

5 Tips to Consider Before Buying a Laptop Computer
Read More..There are many considerations to take into account before plopping down a large sum of money for a laptop computer. Consider first what you will be using your portable computer for, and then select the laptop that takes care of those needs. For example, if you just need a laptop to check your e-mail, light internet surfing, and word processing, you can probably get by with spending around $500 for a laptop. Here are some general guide lines to keep in mind, and make your decision a little easier.
- Look for a laptop with alternate technology especially if youre on a budget. For example, a notebook utilizing an AMD processor is generally cheaper than one using an Intel processor.
- Choose a laptop that has at least 512 MB of memory. If that isnt possible, make sure that the laptop is upgradeable to 512 MB or more of RAM memory.
- It makes sense that the faster the processor clock speed is the faster your computer will run your programs. Choose a laptop with at least a 1.6 Ghz processor. This speed should put you in the Pentium 4 or higher class of CPUs.
- Select a laptop from one of the top manufactures such as Dell, Gateway, or Toshiba. This will insure you can get parts and service if you ever need them.
- Lastly, make sure your laptop has wireless capabilities. Many businesses and institutions across the US now offer free wireless web access. Most laptops manufactured in the last 3 years have this type of technology. If you are a road warrior this is a must have feature.

What Is A Motherboard
What Is A Motherboard?:Read More..
Many people really have no clue what is actually inside a computer, or what the names of the components are that work together to give them the experience they have.
Laptop repair West Palm Beach companies have it cut out for them when it comes to explaining the why, what, and the how…
One of the main components which really dictates the whole setup of a computer, what it’s capabilities are, what functions it will be able to have, and most importantly what determines what all the rest of the components are made up of, is the motherboard.
There are many makes and models of motherboards. One of our favorite, as well as an computer repair industry favorite is Asus.
Some of the other name brands are BioStar, Gigabyte Technology, PNY Technologies, Intel, eVGA, to name some of the more popular manufacturers.So what exactly does a motherboard do?
A motherboard is the component that everything else plugs into: the RAM, the GPU, CPU, hard drive, SATA or IDE peripheals, video cards, communication cards.
It is basically the control center of how everything communicates with each other.
While it is not responsible for the actually communicating, it holds the channels by which the CPU (central processing unit – AKA the brain) is able to send signals to the other parts of the machine in order to give you the experience you get during use.
Now you can’t just og out an buy a motherboard and then all these other parts and throw them together.
Every mobo has specifications to match to each of the other individual components specifications, and it is a very specific meeting of them all.
Not all parts are created equal and as technologies advance the requirements,channels, and connectors change as well.
From sockets, to dims, PCI slots, and video input/output, mobos are an ever evolving science to meet the demands of the ever evolving components that plug into them. Smaller, faster, and smarter.Consult A Professional
If you are considering doing an upgrade or a custom build, please consult a professional before purchasing the components to do so. You can actually save time and money by having an expert handle those needs for you.
