Technology Overview 25 MacBook Pro Unique Mobility Features 1.0" 14.1" Instant On The Instant On feature enables MacBook Pro to wake from sleep in less than a second, so it's ready to work when you are. 9.6" From its Intel Core Duo processor to its brilliant display and integrated wireless technologies, MacBook Pro is ready to work wherever you go. Every tiny detail has been designed for ultimate usability. Only 1 inch thin and weighing just 5.6 pounds,6 it's one of the thinnest and lightest 15-inch notebooks on the market. And with more high-performance features than ever, MacBook Pro is the ideal combination of form and function in a notebook computer. Thin, Light Aluminum Design For the perfect balance of weight, strength, and durability, Apple uses an aluminum alloy for the MacBook Pro enclosure. Approximately one-third the weight of steel, but with a superior strength-to-weight ratio, aluminum is the material of choice for performance motorcycle and bicycle frames, aircraft parts, and most car engines. To create the enclosure, the aluminum alloy is cold-rolled and work-hardened for added strength. After final forming, it undergoes a special anodizing process to harden and protect the surface against stains, scratches, and discoloration. The result is an enclosure that is lightweight, durable, and modern. Further enhancing its durability, MacBook Pro features a lightweight internal frame for superior sti∂ness and shock resistance. The hard drive is rubber-mounted to the frame, providing additional protection for your valuable data. Apple Power Adapter with MagSafe Connector Each notebook release from Apple has set new standards of excellence and placed Apple at the forefront of design for the mobile lifestyle. Among the latest innovations is the MagSafe magnetic power connector. The MagSafe connector guides the plug into the power port magnetically for a quick and sure connection, making it easier than ever to charge the system's battery. When the connection is secure, an LED at the head of the plug lights orange to indicate that MacBook Pro is charging its battery or green to signal that the battery is fully charged. The MagSafe power connector also disconnects easily from MacBook Pro the moment there is strain on the power cord-preventing the computer from falling to the floor or preventing someone from tripping on the cord. At the same time, this feature safeguards the power cord from fraying or weakening over time.
