Apple MacBook Pro 13inch

The exterior is the same, but the guts of the 2010 version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro have been reorganized. This thin and light notebook now has a faster processor and double the graphics performance. Better yet, it takes about eight hours on one charge, about one and half times more than its predecessor. While $ 1,199 is on the expensive side these days for a laptop, the MacBook Pro offers outstanding performance and endurance in an attractive and comfortable, easy to carry with you.

Design

The 13-inch MacBook Pro looks identical to last season, the MacBook Pro aluminum chassis, black keyboard Island Style, tall and thin multitouch touchpad, the dome cover all the family aspect. Even their weight (4.4 kilos) and dimensions (12.8 x 8.9 x 1 inches) remain the same, what makes this laptop a breeze to wear. ASUS U30Jc-1A, a 13-inch thin and lightweight with powerful graphics, weighs half a pound more.

Like its predecessor, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is made from a seamless piece of aluminum, which means it is more durable than most other notebooks of its price range. The only difference is that now the battery is not removable (more on that later). Our only complaint is that the body of system scratches easily, so you can invest in a custom cover-FIT.

Keyboard and touchpad

As always, the keyboard on the 13-inch MacBook Pro has a stylish finish, and makes little sound when you type. While the keyboard, for example, the 17-inch MacBook Pro may be too large (and built well) for certain hands, the keyboard in the 13-inch is conveniently placed. It is also backlit with ambient light sensor, which is useful for low light environments.

The touch screen is a giant button that serves as the touchpad and mouse button, and is the best in the business. The friction is low and could easily push the button, without thinking that there is no dedicated button touch (if not two.)

In addition, the multitouch gestures work smoothly. Press the four fingers on the trackpad, we have been able to rise through the windows of the screen, the exposure of a clean desk. When using two fingers to zoom in and out of the pages in Safari 4, the response to the display was very quick and smooth. A new feature scrolling through pages in a while, even after completing the pass of the finger, making it easier to travel if large documents.
