Unlike early MacBooks, where every USB port could provide 500 mA of power, only one USB port provides full power – the port closer to the front.Ĭlosed Lid Mode: All Intel ‘Books support “lid closed” (or clamshell) mode, which leaves the built-in display off and dedicates all video RAM to an external display. Note that the built-in display is only capable of 18-bit color, not the full 24-bit color you might expect. At this time we do not know if they apply to the new Unibody model. This is the oldest MacBook Pro to officially support macOS Sierra.Įditor’s note: The next two paragraphs are from the profile of the previous version of the MacBook Pro. Memory and the hard drive are easily accessed from the bottom of the computer. The new model comes in 2.4 GHz and 2.66 GHz versions.

The black keys look sharp with the aluminum enclosure, and the 13″ MacBook Pro only comes with a glossy screen. The 13″ MBP uses the same keyboard as before, complete with backlighting. The entire trackpad functions as the mouse button. It supports 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-finger gestures. The glass trackpad is the same one found in the previous generation of MacBook Pro models. 4 GB of RAM is standard (8 GB maximum), and hard drives are bigger. CPU speeds for the new 13-incher are 2.4 GHz and 2.66 GHz, about 5% faster than least year’s models. The 13″ MacBook Pro is the only Pro model to retain the Intel Core 2 CPU – the bigger MacBook Pro models ship with Intel’s new i5 CPU and can be custom ordered with the more powerful i7. They all use new Nvidia GPUs and claim to increase battery life – in the case of the 13″ model, from 7 hours to an impressive 10. Apple introduced redesigned MacBook Pro models in April 2010.
