You may not note the differences in the latest MacBook Pros that has been introduced in April, 2010. This new model is available in three different screen sizes such as 13, 15 and 17. You may notice that it is not different from other models having features as in earlier models such as same touch pad, keyboard.

However, in order to see the advancements, you have to use the system because only then you will be able to evaluate its performance. Long lasting battery life is another feature which keeps the system going for longer time than ever before. This is the best laptop for your requirements.

The MacBook Pro MC373LL/A is the top-of-the-line model in Apple’s updated 15.4″ MacBook Pro laptop lineup.

The MacBook Pro comes with the Intel Core i7 2.66GHz processor, the switchable GPU solution with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB video card for performance-demanding tasks and Intel’s integrated GPU for longer battery life, a 1440×900-pixel LED-backlit glossy screen, 4GB of DDR3 memory, the SuperDrive DVD burner, the aluminum unibody enclosure, and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

When configuring the laptop at the Apple online store, upgrade options are up to 512MB of solid state drive storage, 8GB RAM, and 1680-by-1050 anti glare or glossy display.

It’s battery life is 8 to 9 hours, as same as in the Core i5-based MC372LL/A and MC371LL/A.

Apple’s new notebooks weigh 5.6 pounds and sport a multi-touch trackpad and illuminated keyboard, the iSight webcam, stereo speakers, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, Gigabit LAN, two USB ports, a Mini DisplayPort video connector, an SD card slot, and a FireWire 800 port.

In the new lineup, the MC372LL/A sits between the lower-end MC371LL/A and higher-end MC373LL/A and includes the Intel Core i5 CPU at 2.53GHz and a 500GB hard drive, which can be replaced by 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB solid state drive at the time of a purchase on the Apple Store.

Other features are the switchable GPU solution combining the NVIDIA GeForce GT330M 256MB video card for more demanding graphics tasks and the Intel’s HD GPU for a longer battery life, 4GB of DDR3 memory upgradeable to 8GB, the SuperDrive DVD burner, the aluminum unibody enclosure, and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

Its standard display is a glossy one at 1440-by-900 pixels, and can be upgraded to 1680-by-1050 with anti glare or glossy coating. All screen options include LED-backlight.

Apple says the new 15.4″ MacBook Pros, including the MC372LL/A, deliver 8 to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge.

The notebook also sports a multitouch trackpad, illuminated keyboard, the iSight video camera, stereo speakers, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, Gigabit LAN, two USB ports, Mini DisplayPort output, an SD card slot, and a FireWire 800 port.

Apple has finally confirmed the updated MacBook Pro with Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro features a faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.4GHz and 2.66GHz), a larger hard drives (250GB and 320GB), an nVidia GeForce 320M graphics, and a 4GB RAM. Meanwhile, the new 15-inch MacBook Pro has an Intel Core i5 – i7 processors with a 4GB RAM, and a 320GB – 500GB hard drive. And finally, the 17-inch MacBook Pro is powered by a 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 processor, a 4GB RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. All models features an SD card slot and a battery that will last for up to 9-10 hours. The new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro also feature an automatic switching between an Intel HD graphics and an nVidia GeForce GT 330M.

Everything you know about computers just changed.

With its introduction of the iPad, Apple is likely to transform the way you do everything from read the newspaper to prepare business presentations. You might not experience these changes this year or next, but several years from now, you will likely look back on your current computer, even if it’s a brand-new model — yes, even one from Apple — as an archaic system that was clunky and frustrating to use.

The reason for this can be summed up in one word: touch.

The iPad is controlled with a 9.7-inch, touch-sensitive screen, and it heralds a transition from using a mouse and a keyboard for typical computing tasks to touching, tapping and gliding your fingers on a silky glass screen. Anyone who owns an iPhone or iPod touch, Apple’s other devices with a so-called “multitouch interface,” knows how wonderfully intuitive and intimate the experience can be, especially when compared to a hulking desktop machine.

The iPad signals the moment when computers changed from being bulky products tethered to desktops and power cords to thin, portable devices you can carry in one hand and slip into a backpack.

It might be easy to dismiss the iPad as a toy — as nothing more than an oversized iPhone or iPod touch — and certainly it won’t be sufficient for many business professionals, especially those requiring specialized software or big screens, at least in its current incarnation.

But two elements of Apple’s iPad announcement made clear the company’s ambitions to have the device function as more than a plaything. One was its reworking of three Office-like Macintosh applications — Numbers (for spreadsheet), Pages (for word-processing) and Keynote (for presentations) — for the iPad. The other was the iPad’s ability to connect to Apple’s wireless keyboard, or to purchase a docking station with its own keyboard. Taken together, these mean the iPad will be more than capable when it comes to preparing documents, designing PowerPoint-like presentations and crunching numbers.

For me, and for others likely to be among the iPad’s early adopters, I expect the iPad will likely relegate our other computers into devices used infrequently, and possibly only as glorified hard drives used mainly to store songs and photos and as a hub for our phones and iPads. I was planning to buy a new MacBook, but now I’ll just buy an iPad and use my MacBook, well, as a way to organize my files and use applications not available yet as web-based products or iPad apps.

The iPad may also be a lifeline for struggling media companies — in particular, book publishers, newspapers and magazines. That’s not because the iPad introduced any magical way to sell their content, but because millions of consumers will have an all-purpose computing device they can hold in their hand and display soon-to-be-invented ideas of what books, magazines and newspaper can be. That “soon-to-be-invented” part is the key, as it remains an open question whether slow-moving media organizations will have the business acumen, as well as the creativity and resources, to deliver wow-inducing publications (think video and audio, as well as easy ways to annotate and share content) that readers will be willing to pay for.

With an iPad magazine (or, for that matter, a book or newspaper), you’d be getting far more than text. A magazine-like layout would be interactive, controlled with your fingers. Tap the screen, and a video clip starts to play. Touch a photo, and it zooms to fill the screen. Glide your fingers along the screen to move from page to page. Activate the microphone, and you could add an audio annotation. And you’d be holding this in your hand, just like a “real” magazine. That will be worth plunking down the cost of a subscription.

Now, does this mean you should rush out to drop $499 (or more) on an iPad once it’s available? Not at all. In fact, you may never buy Apple’s version of a tablet computer; others will likely mimic its innovations, and do so, perhaps, in devices that are cheaper or better. But just as Apple transformed the music industry with the iPod and iTunes, and the phone industry with the iPhone, these changes are going to be find their way into our computers. The apps, the multitouch interface, the simplicity and ease of use — all of these are vast improvements over today’s computers.

But it’s the “touch” that really sets the iPad apart. A computer, even a lightweight notebook computer, always feels somewhat cumbersome. But a touch-screen interface feels natural, like it’s an extension of you; it’s more akin to holding a book, or a pen and notepad, than operating a computer. And that’s a meaningful, even revolutionary, change.

Apple comes back with its new unibody MacBook for the mass market. The system sports a 13.3-inch 1280 x 800 glossy LED backlit display, 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB graphics card, a 2GB RAM (up to 4GB), a 250GB hard drive, a glass multi-touch trackpad, a built-in SuperDrive, a built-in iSight camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, two USB ports, a Mini DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet and a built-in lithium-polymer battery that provides up to 7 hours on a single charge. The new unibody MacBook is now available for purchase from Apple’s stores for $999.

Twelve South has recently announced the BookArc, which is a metal stand designed to hold any Apple MacBook, from MacBook Air to the 17-inch MacBook Pro.
