Seamlessly Integrated Strength, Lightness and Beauty
Designed from a single piece of aluminum, the innovative Unibody design is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. This engineering breakthrough replaced many parts with just one for a strikingly sleek device. The first time you pick up a MacBook Pro you'll notice the difference it makes.

A Display of Bright Ideas
LED backlight technology makes the display instantly bright and allows it to be incredibly thin. The edge-to-edge glass lends structure to the display. The top of the screen includes the hidden, built-in FaceTime HD camera. See your friends and family in big, beautiful widescreen.

Hardware and Software Made for Each Other
The software built into every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac so you get a fully integrated system in which everything works together perfectly. OS X Mountain Lion works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible performance.

Multi-Touch Trackpad
The Multi-Touch trackpad has no button because it is the button. That means there's more room to track and more room to click.

Get Connected
With MagSafe power, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, Thunderbolt, USB 3, SDXC, and audio in/out, MacBook Pro gives you just about every connection and port you need.

Remarkably Simplicity
From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything is designed to be easy and intuitive. And it all makes perfect sense, especially if you have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

Incredible Power
OS X is loaded with advanced technologies. It’s built on a rock-solid, time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry-leading support for Internet standards. And the incredible graphics performance in OS X allows applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro to give you unprecedented photo and video editing capabilities.

Magnetic Latch
Because the magnetic latch has no moving parts to snag, jam, or break, even opening and closing your MacBook Pro is a pleasure.

MagSafe Power Adapter
The power cord is held in place magnetically, so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Pro stays put.

It All Works Together with iCloud
Sign in once with your Apple ID and iCloud is automatically set up in all the apps that use it and connects your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Accessories
In addition to the Macbook Pro, you will receive a hardshell case, silicone keyboard cover, Bluetooth headphones, USB card reader, USB hub, travel mouse, nylon tote and mac software program. The case, cover and mouse come in your choice of color.

Choosing a Notebook:

Choosing a portable computer, usually called a laptop or notebook, is in many ways similar to choosing a standard desktop computer. Think about your computer needs and balance those with cost. Just remember that bigger screens and extra features usually mean more weight, and the whole point of buying this kind of computer over a desktop model is its portability.

Here's a quick rundown of the advantages and disadvantages between desktop and notebook computers:

Desktop computers are…

  • Generally less expensive than notebooks.
  • Usually have bigger keyboards and larger screens.
  • Are difficult to transport.
  • Often bulky and can take up a lot of desk space.

    Notebook computers are…

  • Lightweight and easy to take anywhere.
  • Small and take up very little space.
  • Usually more expensive than desktop models with similar features.
  • More difficult to upgrade and repair.
  • More susceptible to dropping and/or breaking.
