Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch) (2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

Description

Solutions inc. are pleased to introduce the new Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch) (2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) - bringing precision engineering and advanced technology to everyone. Now featuring an advanced built-in battery that lasts up to 8 hours on a single charge, stunning aluminium unibody enclosure, vibrant glass display, NVIDIA-powered graphics, glass touchpad, SD card slot and a host of fantastic software and features - the new Apple MacBook Pro is the choice for the serious road warrior.

Features

State-of-the-art meets work of art: The new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it's not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design, and create.

Brilliant brilliance: The moment you open your MacBook Pro you're greeted by glorious, full screen brightness. But that's only one gleaming quality of the glossy LED-backlit widescreen display. The picture is brilliant and sharp from corner to corner. And anything you view - including the ultrathin display itself - is a spectacular experience. The seamless glass enclosure makes this display stronger and more durable. It's more power efficient and mercury- and arsenic-free, so it's greener than ever.

Graphics in full force: The new MacBook Pro reaches a new level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensive applications like Aperture and Motion. Use the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor for great everyday performance with up to five hours of battery life. Or switch to the discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics processor for the fastest, smoothest, clearest graphics yet.

The longest-lasting Mac notebook battery ever: Built right into each of the new MacBook Pro notebooks is a breakthrough battery that lasts dramatically longer and does so without increasing the size or weight of MacBook Pro. On a single charge, the battery in the new MacBook Pro lasts up to 7 hours and can be recharged up to 1000 times. That’s compared with only 200 to 300 times for typical notebooks. Advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging allows the battery to maintain charging capabilities longer and determines the optimal way to charge the battery’s cells. Because the battery lasts up to five years, MacBook Pro uses just one battery in the same time a typical notebook uses three. That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally friendly battery.

Strong. Silent. Type. The rigid aluminium keyboard webbing has been cut precisely to hold the keys. And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers. The result? Pure typing bliss. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you're in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you're typing.

It all just clicks: The first thing you might notice - or not notice - is the missing click button. Now the entire trackpad doubles as the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, your hands have 39 percent more room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you're coming from a right-click world, you can even configure a right-click area on the trackpad to access shortcut menus. The more you use Multi-Touch, the more you'll wonder what you ever did without it.

Ports with possibilities: Every MacBook Pro is iPod, iPhone, digital camera and external hard drive ready. If it has a cable, there’s a place for it. You’ll find three USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port for connecting faster peripherals. The Mini DisplayPort is a perfect fit for the Apple LED Cinema Display. MacBook Pro even recognises what you plug in, so you don’t have to install new drivers. Transfer your photos and videos to and from your MacBook Pro just as fast as you’re able to take them. Also built into the new 17-inch MacBook Pro is an ExpressCard34 expansion slot for adding additional ports/card readers.
