Design:The Apple MacBook Pro MB985LL / A ships with a new lighter and thinner uni-body chassis. However, like all MacBook Pro laptops, the overall design hasn’t changed, which is good if you like Apple’s shiny silver and white design. At 5.5 pounds, the laptop is lighter while maintaining the same solidly built chassis. The new 15-inch LED-backlit glass display is vibrant and sharp while increasing energy efficiency. Again, like most MacBook Pro laptops, the keyboard is extremely comfortable to use, while the etched glass multi-gesture trackpad is much larger than normal due to the buttonless design.
Specifications: While the MB985LL / A is not surprising with a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, it offers a dual graphics solution. With an integrated Nvidia 9400M and a discrete Nvidia 9600M GT, users can switch between the two on the fly, depending on their needs. While the Apple MacBook Pro MB985LL / A maintains Apple’s current practice of internal non-removable batteries, they have introduced their own lithium polymer batteries. These new batteries offer up to 7 hours of operation while maintaining a slimmer, thinner, and easier-to-cool build. The laptop offers 320GB of hard drive storage, 4GB of RAM, and a SuperDrive DVD burner. Connections include two USB ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a Firewire 800 port, a mini-DisplayPort, and an SD card reader.
Features and performance: In terms of tasks, the 15.4-inch MB985LL / A enables users the full range of applications including Internet browsing, office work, multimedia, and gaming. While the Nvidia 9400M integrated graphics offer longer battery life, the discreet Nvidia 9600M GT is powerful enough to run the latest 3D games like Call of Duty, as well as image, photo and video processing programs.
Since both can be easily changed, the Apple MacBook Pro MB985LL / A offers users the ability to change the graphics engines when needed. Custom components like lithium polymer batteries also make the Apple MacBook Pro MB985LL / A one of the coolest notebooks in its class. An affordable price tag makes the laptop perfect for the performance user on a budget, while top-notch features ensure excellent performance. At the moment, this laptop model retails for around $ 1815 each.
