Major Mac Muscle, Now Featuring Thunderbolt!
With a MacBook Pro, you've got unbelievable power at your fingertips. This machine's ready to handle serious audio and video projects, whether you're on the go or parked at your desktop. And this latest version is more capable than ever. In addition to boasting a blazing-fast, state-of-the-art Core i7 processor, this Macbook Pro is decked out with something you'll be hearing a lot more about soon: Thunderbolt. This new connection port blows USB and FireWire out of the water, in terms of performance. In fact, it's up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than FireWire 800. You get 10Gbps of throughput, in both directions. That's mega fast. And if you're into pro audio and video, we can already see where your head is heading.
Yes, with the MacBook Pro and this new Thunderbolt port, the pro audio possibilities are huge. Way more simultaneous recording tracks. Crazy-fast streaming of samples. And, all in all, a better recording experience. Pro video, too, is within reach- even when you're on a flight across the country. This is one serious Mac.
We can't leave out all the other goodies onboard this MacBook Pro, though. There's good stuff like top-notch graphics cards and a built-in FaceTime HD camera (with three times the resolution of the previous MacBook's camera!). In fact, you can even make 720p HD calls from one MacBook Pro to another. Very cool. You can even make video calls to other Intel-based Mac computers, the iPhone 4, or the new iPod touch. Talk about mobile connectivity! This particular MacBook Pro also sports a gorgeously brilliant high-resolution LED display. Gotta love that! Then factor in the latest Apple mainstays... the workflow-enhancing Multi-Touch trackpad, the ultra-long-lasting battery, and a plethora of I/O ports (including FireWire 800, USB 2.0, Thunderbolt, and even an SDXC card slot)... and you've got an Apple MacBook Pro that's built with your lifestyle and recording needs in mind.
