Apple’s new MacBook Pro range is here with faster processors and a massive boost in graphic performance and visuals. With exterior similar to the previous MacBook editions except for the backlit 13 inch glossy monitor, makes the new MacBook Pro a sturdy and attractive MacBook packed with high performance.

A bit on the pricey side but thanks to the durable aluminum frame, huge multi touch-pad and weighing just over 4 pounds- the new MacBook proves worthy of the title “Pro” and perhaps makes up for the costly price.

With raving reviews and a bunch of excited Apple fanatics, there is no doubt that the new powerful MacBook is jam-packed with performance without compensating the style and the quality of its predecessors. Hitting the shelves the about the same time as Apples new over sized I-phone look-a-like, the I-pad- Apple continues to live up to its standards and still manufactures the cute and now more powerful MacBooks that we learned to love.

This is mainly a review for the 13inch MacBook Pro, but you should definitely have a look at the 15inch and 17inch since they come standard with the new Core i5 processors where the 13inch only with an Intel Core 2 Duo.

Depending on your needs or intentions the 13inch with the Intel Core 2 Duo might be more than enough for you, if you are a gamer or you use applications that require a bit more power than the average Mac go for the 15” or 17”, see below for the 13’ specs.

The Pro’s

• Still the classy Mac Style

• 8 hour battery life

• Sturdy and Strong Aluminum Frame

• Major graphics improvement

• Software suite included

• Large and easy to use multi touch-pad

• Better than your friends Mac

The Con’s

• The price is slightly high

• Lacks the Power of the Core I5 processor featured in the 15-17 inch

• Only 2 USB ports

If you are looking for a classy, trustworthy laptop with high performance then the MacBook Pro is definitely worth a look.

My only concern as mentioned before; is that the 13inch only comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and not a Core i5 like the 15” and 17” MacBook Pro has, and with the 13” still over the $1000 mark, you better of getting the 15” that includes the Core i5 if you prepared to pay $600 more.
