Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is a true engineering achievement. Its patented unibody enclosure is the product of precise machining. From the thumbscoop to the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't sleep indicator, no detail is unaccounted for. The end result is a notebook that's not only breakthrough, but thin, light, polished, and refined. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. So you can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, at school, at the office, or on location without a second thought.

Every MacBook Pro has a pristine LED-backlit display with wide-angle viewing and a color gamut usually seen only on a desktop display. So whether you're watching a movie or making one, you've got the perfect canvas. The ultrathin, seamless glass enclosure makes the display strong and durable. And because it's power efficient and free of mercury and arsenic, this display is greener than ever.

Each MacBook Pro comes standard with a large hard drive, so there's plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files. MacBook Pro also features ample high-speed memory, so you can run more applications at once and quickly access your data and media.

Product Review for product Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Absolutely fantastic what a change from windows. The computer is beautifully design and I particularly like the led lit keyboard. Great for dimly lit rooms. The shortcomings in my opinion is that Apple could have done better with increasing the limited usb ports (only 2). Screen is very clear but for the price a higher resolution screen would have suited this model. Never the less, great build, design, superb OS and bundled software. Highly recommended.
