Apple® today updated its MacBook® Pro
line of notebooks with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors, memory up to
4GB, and high-speed graphics in a stunning, lightweight, aluminum enclosure
that is just one-inch thin. The new MacBook Pro is available in 15-inch
models with a new mercury-free, power-efficient LED-backlit display and a
17-inch model with an optional high-resolution display. All models include a
built-in iSight® video camera for video conferencing on-the-go, Apple’s
MagSafe® Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain, and
built-in 802.11n wireless networking for up to five times the performance
and twice the range of 802.11g.*

“With Intel Core 2 Duo performance, more memory and state-of-the-art
graphics, this MacBook Pro is a portable powerhouse for creative and
professional users,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of
Worldwide Product Marketing. “Apple’s notebooks have always led the industry
in innovation with features like built-in 802.11 and the MagSafe Power
Adapter, and now the industry’s first 15-inch LED-backlit display is another
step toward completely eliminating mercury from our displays.”

Every MacBook Pro model includes an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB of
shared L2 cache, an 800 MHz frontside bus and 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory,
running professional applications like Final Cut Pro® 6 and Logic® Pro 7
more than 50 percent faster than the original MacBook Pro with Core Duo.
Delivering more realistic graphics for animation and gaming, every MacBook
Pro now includes the state-of-the art NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT and is more
than 50 percent faster than the original MacBook Pro with Core Duo.**

The MacBook Pro’s lightweight, aluminum enclosure is just one-inch thin and
is available in three models: 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro
models, and a 2.4 GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro model. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro
models feature a brand-new, power-efficient LED-backlit display and are the
first of Apple’s notebooks to transition to LED backlighting as part of the
company’s effort to eliminate the use of mercury in its products. The
17-inch model now offers a new optional 1920-by-1200 high-resolution
display, providing over 30 percent more screen real estate than the standard
1680-by-1050 display.

Designed for mobile professionals, the MacBook Pro includes a built-in
iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go, Apple’s MagSafe Power
Adapter that magnetically connects the power cord to the MacBook Pro and
safely disconnects when under strain, and the latest generation of 802.11n
wireless networking for up to five times the performance and twice the range
of 802.11g. Every new MacBook Pro also includes built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed networking, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data
Rate), a FireWire® 800 and a FireWire 400 port, a backlit illuminated
keyboard, an ExpressCard/34 expansion card slot for expansion solutions such

award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto®,
iMovie® HD, iDVD®, GarageBand™ and iWeb™. The MacBook Pro also comes with
