Apple has launched yet another updated version of laptops in India, after MacBook Air. The new line introduced is called MacBook Pro. It comes with notable internal overhaul, including new Penryn-class Intel CPUs, new touch pad gestures and even a backlit LED option. Apart from this, it has many other improved features and technical specifications, making it one of the hottest gadgets in the market right now. The notebook rates well both on outer appearance as well as functioning.

The design of the MacBook Pro is highly classy. It is a slimmer and lighter version than any other laptop. The keyboard is spacious enough to use the keys. There are a number of other keys on top of the MacBook Proalphabet and numeric keys, for easy and quick access of ready-to-use functions such as volume and brightness. To make it more user-friendly, MacBook Pro has been equipped with a backlit keyboard, aided with the ambient light sensor, to be used in the dark. It has a two-finger scroll, which makes navigation across the screen easy.

The screen provides a better resolution and is even 67 per cent brighter than the laptops it replaces. The images exude solid colors and do not carry a textured look. The battery life is also satisfying. The wireless of MacBook Pro has a wide range and strong signal reception. The sound system is also pleasing, but is enthralling with headphones. Another outstanding feature of MacBook Pro is its aluminum chassis body, which acts like a heatsink and absorbs the heat, radiating it out and keeping the laptop cool.

I have a 5 year old ibook G4 and I would take it ANYDAY over my new Windows desktop. I have made that poor thing a cover so it doesn't get too dusty until I can sell it
