Apple Inc. released on Thursday its newest generation of MacBook Pro, which has made “very big leaps forward,” the Cupertino, Calif.-based company announced.
The new MacBook Pro family features high-speed Thunderbolt I/O technology, state-of-the-art Intel processors, next-generation graphics, a new FaceTime HD camera, and the latest dual-core and quad-core Intel Core processors, allowing the notebook computers to perform up to twice as fast as the previous generation launched in April 2010.
The industry-leading MacBook Pro became the first computer on the market to include the Thunderbolt I/O technology, which allows unprecedented expandability on a laptop. Developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple, the technology enables its users to access multiple streams of uncompressed HD videos and even edit one in real time.
“Thunderbolt is a revolutionary new I/O technology that delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second and can support every important I/O standard which is ideal for the new MacBook Pro,” Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said in a press release.
Apple expects Thunderbolt to be widely adopted as a new standard for high-performance I/O.
The new lineup also features a built-in FaceTime HD camera with three times the resolution of the previous generation. Users can make 720p wide-screen HD calls to another MacBook Pro, Intel-based Mac computers, iPhone 4, or the new iPod Touch.
The series continue to feature its beloved features, including the glass Multi-Touch trackpad, aluminum unibody enclosure, seven-hour battery life, illuminated full-size keyboard, and LED-backlit wide-screen display.
In the new line, the 13-inch model MacBook Pro starts at $1,199, 15-inch at $1,799, and 17-inch at $2,499.
