MacBook Pro i7 - After a Long Wait, Apple Didn't Disappoint

After waiting for almost one year, Mac lovers finally got what they deserved - the MacBook Pro i7.

The new MacBook Pro i7 comes integrated with the new Intel Core i7 processor, the fastest dual-core processor to date. This makes the new MacBook Pro up to 50% faster than previous generation Macs. The Intel Core i7 features a Turbo Boost that gives the Mac better performance. It increases the speed of the cores from 2.66GHZ to 3.33GHZ. What this means is that running processor intensive applications such as Final Cut Pro would not be a problem at all. The only potential problem this could possess is being too fast for you.

The Intel Core i7 processor also comes with built-in hyper-threading. This feature allows two threads to run simultaneously on the two cores. What this means is that the Mac OS X recognizes four virtual cores instead of two. So when you are running many applications, the i7 processor distributes the tasks evenly across the four virtual cores thus letting you do more, faster. Talk about efficiency!

Now, since most of us are into gaming and video, Apple decided to spice up our graphical experience with the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M discrete graphics processor. This is an improvement from previous generation MacBooks and is the fastest graphics processor in any Mac. As you would expect, this processor does not reduce efficiency of the MacBook. The truth is, this graphics processor is 30% more energy efficient than the previous generation graphic processors. You therefore get both speed and efficiency at the same time.

Away from the technical stuff now, the MacBook i7 has some other brilliant features. It comes with a keyboard that is precisely cut and curved to fit fingers. The keyboard is also illuminated so you can see the keys even in low-light settings. The trackpad is spacious. This MacBook also comes with a longer battery life of up to 10 hours.

Overall the MacBook Pro i7 is a brilliant machine and I would highly recommend it to those who love notebooks. If you think it's a bit expensive, you could always get it at a discount using online coupons.
