Introducing the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro. The
state-of-the-art quad-core Intel i7 processor delivers up to
2x faster performance (over the previous generation of
MacBook Pro). New Thunderbolt technology lets you connect
high-performance peripherals and high-resolution displays to
a single port, and transfer files at lightning speeds. And
with the built-in FaceTime HD camera, you can make
astonishingly crisp HD video calls.

technology.
With the revolutionary Thunderbolt technology, you'll be
able to achieve bi-directional channels with transfer speeds
to peripherals like external hard drives and servers up to
an amazing 10 Gbps--while also connecting to a
DisplayPort-compatible high-resolution display.
As with previous models, the MacBook Pro features a
precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of
aluminum, creating a thin and light mobile computing
workhorse (less than 1 inch thin and just 5.6 pounds) that's
also highly durable. It includes a 15.4-inch, LED-backlit
glass display as well as a glass trackpad that doesn't
include a button (for larger tracking area) that features
Apple's Multi-Touch technology. And it comes standard with
automatic graphics switching that provides performance when
you need it and energy efficiency when you don't. You'll
also get up to 7 hours of battery life while on the go.
This version of the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro (model
MD322LL/A) features a second-generation 2.4 GHz Core i7
quad-core processor, 750 GB hard drive, and 4 GB of
installed RAM. Other features include ultra-fast Wireless-N
Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth connectivity, an SDXC card slot,
two USB 2.0 ports, and a FireWire 800 port (see full specifications below).

settings.
OS X Lion
Every Mac comes with OS X Lion, the latest release of the
world's most advanced desktop operating system. With over
250 features including Multi-Touch gestures, Mission
Control, full-screen apps, and Launchpad, OS X Lion takes
the Mac further than ever.
Key OS X Lion Features
- Mission Control provides a bird's-eye view
of everything running on your Mac.
- Launchpad puts all your apps front and
center for easy access.
- View apps full screen and switch between
them with a swipe.
- Interact with your Mac using intuitive new
Multi-Touch gestures.
Key Features
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple,
high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output) technology
delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer
speeds in both directions. Built into the MacBook Pro, the
Thunderbolt port allows you to connect to new
Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB
and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be
able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0
and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and
you can daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without
using a hub.
And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort
technology, you'll be able to connect to a high-resolution
display from the same port. Any Mini DisplayPort display
plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also
connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA
connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to
include your display into a daisy-chained set of
peripherals.
Next-Generation Quad-Core Intel Processor
This MacBook Pro is powered by a second-generation Intel
Core i7 quad-core processor, which provides breakthrough
digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming
capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0,
the latest Core i7 increases speed automatically for
whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance
to match your workload.
Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each core of
your processor to work on two tasks at the same time,
delivering the performance you need for smart multitasking.
And you'll enjoy a rich set of new features for a stunning
and seamless visual experience with no additional hardware.
The Core i7 processor also provides faster access to the
installed RAM, with an integrated memory controller to
connect fast 1333 MHz memory directly to the processor.
With new microarchitecture, the graphics processor
resides on the same chip as the central processor and has
direct access to the 6 MB of shared L3 cache--helping your
applications run at peak performance. And an integrated
video encoder enables HD video calls with FaceTime, while an
efficient decoder gives you long battery life when you're
watching DVDs or iTunes movies.
Automatic Graphics Switching
The MacBook Pro offers excellent graphics flexibility
with two video processors--the discrete AMD Radeon HD 6770M
processor (with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory) for heavier
workloads and an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor
for better battery life on the go. When gaming or using
processor-intensive applications like Aperture or Final Cut
Pro, you'll appreciate the power of the AMD Radeon HD 6770M,
which lets you see more frames per second and experience
better responsiveness. And the automatic graphics switching
feature determines which graphics processor an application
needs and switches instantly between the processors.
Buttonless Multi-Touch Trackpad
With no button on the glass trackpad, there's more room
to track and click--left, right, center, and everywhere in
between. Without a separate button, the trackpad gives your
hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass
surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch
gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger
swipe. And it also now supports inertial scrolling, an
intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries,
lengthy documents and long web sites.
