The first generation MacBook Pro appeared externally similar to the PowerBookG4 but used the Intel Core processors instead of PowerPC G4 chips The 15shyinchmodel was released in January 2006 a 17shyinch model in April both of whichreceived several updates and Core 2 Duo processors later in the year

The second model known as the unibody model has a more tapered design anda casing made from a single block of aluminum It debuted in October 2008 as the15shyinch MacBook Pro and the 13shyinch aluminum unibody MacBook Thefollowing January brought the design to the 17shyinch model along with the builtshyinbattery that joined the rest of the MacBook Pro line in June including the 13shyinchmodel which Apple absorbed into the MacBook Pro line Subsequent updatesbrought upgraded Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced IntelsThunderbolt technology

Apple released the third generation of MacBook Pro in June 2012 with a 15shyinchscreen At the same time slightly updated versions of the previous generation 13shyand 15shyinch unibody models were announced and sold in parallel and the 17shyinchvariant was discontinued While dimensionally smaller than its predecessor thesimilarly styled third generation model retained a unibody design The mostsubstantial differences in the third generation MacBook Pro are the fitting of asignificantly higher resolution Retina display the elimination of the optical driveand replacement of hard disk drives with solidshystate drives A 13shyinch thirdgeneration MacBook Pro was released in October 2012

1st generation

The original 15shyinch MacBook Pro was announced on January 10 2006 by Steve Jobs at theMacworld Conference amp Expo[2] The 17shyinch model was unveiled on April 24 2006[3] Thefirst design was largely a carryover from the PowerBook G4 but used Intel Core CPUsinstead of PowerPC G4 chips[4] The 15shyinch MacBook Pro weighed the same as the 15shyinchaluminum PowerBook G4 but was 01 inches (025 cm) deeper 04 inches (10 cm) widerand 01 inches (025 cm) thinner[5] Other changes from the PowerBook include a builtshyiniSight webcam and the inclusion of MagSafe a magnetic power connector designed to detacheasily when pulled to prevent the entire laptop from being pulled off a surface Both featureswere later brought over to the MacBook In order to fit into the slimmer MacBook Pro theoptical drive was half the speed of the one in the PowerBook G4 and could not write to duallayer DVDs[4][6]

Both the original 15shy and 17shyinch model MacBook Pros come with ExpressCard34 slotswhich replace the PC Card slots found in the PowerBook G4 All preshyunibody 15shyinch models

have two USB 20 ports and one FireWire 400 port[7] while the 17shyinch models have three USB 20 ports as well as one FireWire400 port[8] When first introduced the MacBook Pro did not come with FireWire 800 or SshyVideo ports[5][7] although FireWire 800was added in the next 15shyinch model revision[9] and was present in every version of the 17shyinch design[8] SshyVideo capability can beattained through the use of a DVI to SshyVideo adapter[5] External displays with up to a 2560 times 1600 pixel resolution are supportedthrough a dualshylink DVI port[10] All models include a builtshyin Gigabit Ethernet port Bluetooth 20 and 80211abg[7][8] Latermodels include support for the draft 20 specification of 80211n[11] and Bluetooth 21

Updates

Apple refreshed the entire MacBook Pro line on October 24 2006 to include Intel Core 2 Duo processors[9] Memory capacity wasdoubled for each model to 1 GB on the lowshyend 15shyinch and 2 GB for the highshyend 15shy and 17shyinch models[9] FireWire 800 wasadded to the 15shyinch models Hard drive capacity was increased although video card options stayed the same[9] The MacBook Proline received a second update on June 5 2007 with new Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT video cards and faster processor options[12][13]LED backlighting was added to the 15shyinch models screen and its weight was reduced from 56 pounds (25 kg) to 54 pounds(24 kg)[13] Furthermore the speed of the frontshyside bus was increased from 667 MHz to 800 MHz On November 1 2007 Appleadded the option of a 26 GHz Santa Rosa platform Core 2 Duo CPU as well as reconfigured hard drive options[13]

On February 26 2008 the MacBook Pro line was again updated[14][15] LED backlightingwas added as an option for the 17shyinch model[14] Processors were updated to Penryn coreswhich are built on the 45 nanometer process (65 nanometer Merom cores were previouslyused) and hard drive and memory capacities were increased[14] Multishytouch capabilities firstintroduced with the MacBook Air earlier that year were brought over to the MacBook Prostrackpad[14] At the time of the introduction of the 15shyinch unibody MacBook Pro on October14 2008 the preshyunibody model with the same screen size was discontinued while the 17shyinch preshyunibody model continued to be sold[16] The original case design was discontinuedon January 6 2009 when the 17shyinch MacBook Pro was also updated with unibodyconstruction[17]

Reception

Some reviewers applauded the MacBook Pro for its doubling or tripling the speed of the PowerBook G4 in some areas[4] Forexample the 3D rendering program Cinema 4D XL was 33 times as fast (23 times faster)[4] and its bootshyup time was less thanhalf[5] The MacBook Pro generally outperformed the PowerBook G4 in performance analyzer utility tests XBench andCinebench[5] Reviewers lauded the screens maximum brightness 67 percent higher than the PowerBook G4 the excellenthorizontal viewing angles the matte options and the bright crisp and true colors[6] Although the screen offered fewer verticalpixels (1440 times 900 in the MacBook Pro instead of 1440 times 960 in the PowerBook) one reviewer called the screen nothing less thanstellar[5] Reviewers praised the new MagSafe power adapter[4] although one reviewer said it disconnected too easily in someinstances[5] They also praised the backlit keyboard large trackpad and the virtually silent operation of the machine[4][6] The newlaptop also offered better wireless performance

One reviewer criticized the decision to underclock the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card by about 30 percent its originalspeed[6] The notebook was also noted for running hot[4][6] Users complained that upgrading system memory was harder than inolder Apple notebooks[5] Since the dimensions for the 15shyinch MacBook Pro were tweaked slightly from the 15shyinch PowerBookG4 older accessories such as notebook sleeves did not work with the new models[5] Some users noted a slight flickering when thescreen was on lower brightness settings[5] Battery life remained about the same threeshyplus hours as in previous models on par withor better than the competition[5] Apple increased the battery capacity by 10 Wh going from 50 in the PowerBook G4 to 60[5] butthe more powerful Core Duo CPU required more power[5]

2nd generation (unibody)

On October 14 2008 in a press event at company headquarters Apple officials announced anew 15shyinch MacBook Pro featuring a precision aluminum unibody enclosure and taperedsides similar to those of the MacBook Air[28][29] Designers shifted the MacBook Pros portsto the left side of the case and moved the optical disc drive slot from the front to the rightside similar to the MacBook The new MacBook Pros had two new video cards the NvidiaGeForce 9600M GT with either 256 or 512 MB of dedicated memory and a GeForce 9400Mwith 256 MB of shared system memory[28] The FireWire 400 port was removed but theFireWire 800 port was retained and the DVI port was replaced with a Mini DisplayPortreceptacle[28] The original unibody MacBook Pro came with a usershyremovable battery Appleclaimed five hours of use[28] with one reviewer reporting results closer to four on a continuous video battery stress test[30] Applesaid that the battery would hold 80 percent of its charge after 300 recharges[31][32]

Design

The unibodyshyconstruction MacBook Pro largely follows the styling of the original aluminum iMac and the MacBook Air and isslightly thinner than its predecessor albeit wider and deeper due to the widescreen display[28] The screen is highshygloss covered byan edgeshytoshyedge reflective glass finish while an antishyglare matte option is available in the 15shy and 17shyinch models in which the glasspanel is removed[33] The trackpad has also been enlarged giving more room for scrolling and multishytouch gestures[33] When theline was updated in April 2010 inertial scrolling was added making the scrolling experience much like that of the iPhone andiPad[34][35][36] The entire touchpad is usable and acts as a clickable button[33] The keys still backlit are now that of Apples nowshystandard sunken keyboard with separated black keys[34]

Updates

During the MacWorld Expo keynote on January 6 2009 Phil Schiller announced a 17shyinchMacBook Pro with unibody construction This version diverged from its 15shyinch sibling withan antishyglare matte screen option (with the glossy finish standard) and a non usershyremovablelithium polymer battery[37] Apple affirmed the batterys design was unlike any existingnotebook battery Instead of traditional round cells inside the casing the lithiumshyion polymerbatteries are shaped and fitted into each laptop without wasting space Adaptive chargingextends battery life which uses a chip to optimize the charge flow to reduce wear and tear[37]Compared to the previous iteration battery life for the 17 version is quoted at eight hourswith 80 percent of this charge remaining after 1000 chargeshydischarge cycles This battery isnot intended to be usershyremovable[37]

At Apples Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 8 2009 it was announcedthat the 13shyinch unibody MacBook would be upgraded and reshybranded as a MacBook Pro[38] leaving only the white polycarbonateMacBook in the MacBook line[39] It was also announced that the entire MacBook Pro line would use the non usershyremovable batteryinherited from the 17shyinch MacBook Pro[40] The updated MacBook Pro 13shy and the 15shyinch would each have up to a claimed sevenhours of battery life while the 17shyinch would keep its eightshyhour capacity[38][40] Some sources even reported up to eight hours of

httpenwikipediaorgwikiMacBook_Pro 620

battery life for the 13shy and 15shyinch MacBook Pros during casual use[41] while others reported around six hours[33] Like the 17shyinchMacBook Pro Apple claims that they will last around 1000 charge cycles while still containing 80 percent of their capacity[42]

Graphics card options stayed the same from the previous release although the 13shyinch[43] and the base model 15shyinch came withonly the GeForce 9400M GPU[44] The screens were also improved gaining a claimed 60 percent greater color gamut[43][44] All ofthese mid 2009 models also included a FireWire 800 port and all except the 17shyinch models would receive an SD card slot[29] The17shyinch model would retain its ExpressCard34 slot[40] For the 13shyinch MacBook Pro the Kensington lock slot was moved to theright side of computer body[45] In August 2009 Apple extended the matte antishyglare display option to the 15shyinch MacBookPro[46]

On April 13 2010 the MacBook Pro saw another update[47] Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs were introduced in the 15shy and 17shyinchmodels while the 13shyinch retained the Core 2 Duo with a speed increase[47] The power brick was redesigned[34] and a highshyresolution display (of 1680 times 1050) was announced as an option for the 15shyinch models[35] For video cards the 13shyinch gained anintegrated Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics processing unit (GPU) with 256 MB of shared memory while the 15shy and 17shyinch modelswere upgraded to the GeForce GT 330M with either 256 or 512 MB of dedicated memory[47] The 15 and 17 models also have anintegrated Intel GPU that is built into the Core i5 and i7 processors[47] The 15shyinch model also gained 01 pounds (0045 kg)[35]Save for a third USB 20 slot all the ports on the 17shyinch MacBook Pro are the same in type and number as on the 15shyinchversion[48] All models come with 4 GB of system memory that is upgradeable to 8 GB across the board[47] Battery life was alsoextended further in this update to an estimated ten hours for the 13shyinch and 8ndash9 hours on the 15shy and 17shyinch MacBook Pros[47]

This was achieved through greater power efficiency and adding more battery capacity[47] Through stress test use one reviewerreported nearer six hours for a continuous video battery stress test (in the 15shyinch)[36] and another who called the battery lifeunbeatable reported nearer eight (in the 13shyinch) in their highly demanding battery drain test[34]

The line was updated on February 24 2011 with the introduction of Intel Thunderbolt technology and dual core Intel Core i5 and i7(on 13shyinch model) or quadshycore i7 (on 15shy and 17shyinch models) Sandy Bridge processors as well as a high definition FaceTimecamera Intel HD Graphics 3000 come integrated with the CPU while the 15shy and 17shyinch models also utilize graphics cards fromAMD the Radeon HD 6490M and Radeon HD 6750M models Later editions of these models following the release of OS X Lionalso lacked a dashboard (F4) key replacing the dashboard key with a launchpad key The bottoms which include the information arealso engraved differently from the 2010 models[49] The 2011 models also debuted Intels Thunderbolt serial bus platform that canachieve speeds of up to 10 Gbits[50] which is up to twice as fast as the USB 30 specification 20 times faster than the USB 20specification and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800[51] Apple says that it can be used to drive displays or to transfer largequantities of data in a short amount of time[51]

On June 11 2012 Apple showcased its upgraded Mac notebooks OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6 at the Worldwide DevelopersConference (WWDC) in San Francisco[52] The new MacBook Pro models were updated with Ivy Bridge processors and USB 30ports and the default RAM on premium models was increased to 8 GB[53] Following this announcement the 17 model wasdiscontinued After a media event on October 22 2013 Apple discontinued all second generation MacBook Pros except for the entry25 GHz 13 model[54]

Reception

Some reviewers praised the new laptops compact size for its performance[30] the quality of the screen and sturdy unibody build[30]

which allowed easier upgrading of internal components as compared to the original models[30] Some reviewers also noted that thenew MacBook Pro ran more quietly and at cooler temperatures[30] However others criticized the amount of heat generated by thenew design[55][56]

Reviewers lamented the loss of a matte screen option for the 2008 unibody MacBook Pro noting the reflectiveness of the screen insunlight even when its brightness was turned all the way up[30] CNETs Dan Ackerman commented of the midshy2009 modelsAccording to Apple the new display offers a wider color gamut and the screen certainly looks bright and colorful but we wish thesame matteshyscreen option offered on the 17shyinch MacBook Pro was available across the line While the LED screen means a thinnerlid and some battery life benefits the edgeshytoshyedge glass covering the entire display panel grabs stray light rays with ease making theglossy screen hard to see in some lighting conditions[33] As of 2011 however matte screens are offered for both the 15 and 17

models Furthermore the addition of Mini DisplayPort instead of the more popular HDMI was criticized[30] The relatively lownumber of ports and lower end technical specifications when compared to similarly priced laptops from other brands were alsofrowned upon[30]

Laptop Magazine s Michael Prospero praised the 2010 15shyinch models display calling it bright and crisp He further commentedWhile reflections from the glossy display werent overwhelming its also nice to know theres an antiglare optionmdashthough only forthe higher resolution display Still colors were bright blacks were deep and dark and viewing angles were excellent both verticallyand horizontally He also lauded the quality of the iSight webcam the responsiveness of the touchpad the microphone and speakersas well as the performance of the new CPUs for the 15 model and the long battery life Complaints included the price of the laptopthe low number of USB ports and the lack of HDMI[35]

CNET praised the automatic graphics switching features of the 15shy and 17shyinch 2010 models as well as the graphics cardsthemselves Acclaim was also given to the Core i5 and i7 CPUs the multishytouch trackpad and the addition of audio capabilities tothe Mini DisplayPort video output[36] They also called for the addition of HDMI and the Blushyray optical disc format saying thatmost other computers in the MacBook Pros price range possessed these features[36] CNET also criticized the option of a higherresolution screen in the 15shyinch model saying the highershyresolution screen should be included by default[36]

Early and Late 2011 model GPU Issues

Early and Late 2011 models reportedly suffer from manufacturing problems leading to overheating graphical issues and eventuallycomplete GPU and logic board failure A thread was opened on the Apple Support community[69] that reached more than 12000posts and 4000000 visits (Feb 2015) Users started a petition requesting a recall over the issue As of 5 February 2015 it has 37003signatures[70] A similar but nonidentical issue affected iMac GPUs which were later recalled by Apple[71] The problem was coveredby many articles in Macshyfocused magazines starting late 2013 throughout 2014[72][73][74][75][76] In August 2014 the law firmWhitfield Bryson amp Mason LLP had begun investigating the problem to determine if any legal claim exists[77] On October 28 2014the firm announced that it has filed a classshyaction lawsuit in a California federal court against Apple The lawsuit will cover residentsresiding in both California and Florida who have purchased a 2011 MacBook Pro notebook with an AMD graphics card The firm isalso investigating similar cases across the United States[78] On February 20 2015 Apple instituted the MacBook Pro RepairExtension Program for Video Issues (httpwwwapplecomsupportmacbookproshyvideoissues) which will repair affectedMacBook Pro systems free of charge

3rd generation (Retina)

On June 11 2012 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco Apple introduced a new third generationMacBook Pro marketed as the MacBook Pro with Retina display to differentiate it from the updated models of the previousgeneration released the same day[52] The new model includes Intels third generation Core i7 processors (Ivy Bridgemicroarchitecture) along with USB 30 integrated and a highshyresolution 154 IPS 2880x1800shypixel Retina display[53] Other new orchanged features include a second Thunderbolt port an HDMI port and a new thinner MagSafe port dubbed the MagSafe 2[79]

On October 23 2012 Apple introduced a 13shyinch version with very similar specifications to the 15shyinch version but with slightlylower capabilities such as less powerful processors and a 2560x1600 pixel display representing 227 pixels per inch[80]

Third generation MacBook Pro 15shyinchwith Retina display

The 3rd generation MacBook Pro as seenbelow a MacBook Air has a MagSafe 2and two Thunderbolt ports

The new models omit Ethernet and FireWire 800 ports though Apple offers Thunderboltadapters for both interfaces[81] They also omit a SuperDrive making the 15shyinch modelApples first professional notebook since the PowerBook 2400c to ship without a builtshyinoptical drive[82] Instead of a hard disk drive the new models ship with a solid state drivestandard in a proprietary flash module design rather than a 25 notebook drive Applealso claims improved speakers and microphones and a new system for cooling thenotebook with improved fans[79] The new case design does not have a Kensington lockslot so alternative products are required to physically secure them[83]

The Retina models also have fewer usershyaccessible upgrade or replacement options thanprevious MacBooks Unlike the previous generations the memory is soldered onto thelogic board and thus is not upgradable Because of this the amount of memory can onlybe chosen at time of purchase The solid state drive is not soldered and can be replacedwith a larger unit[84] The battery is glued into place attempts to remove it may destroythe battery andor trackpad[85] The entire case uses proprietary pentalobe screws andcannot be disassembled with standard tools While the battery is glued in recyclingcompanies have stated that the design is only mildly inconvenient and does not hamperthe recycling process[86]

On February 13 2013 Apple announced updated prices and processors for the MacBookPro with Retina Display and increased the RAM of the highshyend 15shyinch model to 16GB[87]

On October 22 2013 Apple updated the line with Intels Haswell processors and IrisGraphics 80211ac wishyfi Thunderbolt 2 and PCIeshybased flash storage The chassis of the 13shyinch version was slightly slimmed to071 in to match the 15shyinch model The lowershyend 15shyinch model only included integrated graphics while the highershyend modelcontinued to include a discrete Nvidia graphic card in addition to integrated graphics[88] Support for 4K video output via HDMI wasadded but limited the number of external displays from three to two[89] On July 29 2014 Apple announced updated prices andprocessors for the Haswell MacBook Pro with Retina Display[90]

Design

The Retina display MacBook Pros largely follow the styling of the previous generation with its aluminum enclosure and separatedblack keys The most apparent body changes are a thinner chassis and a display with a redesigned hinge and thinner bezel Thepower button is now located on the keyboard rather than the upper right corner of the chassis replacing the optical disc ejectbutton[91] At 071 inches (18 mm) thick the 15shyinch model is 25 percent thinner than its predecessor Unlike any previous Macintoshlaptops the model name is not visible when the computer is in normal use as the model now has its name on the underside of thechassis similar to an iOS device rather than the screen bezel where it had been located on all Macintosh laptops after thePowerBook 280c in 1995[92][93]

Reception

The third generation MacBook Pro received positive reviews because of the Retina display flash storage and power It wascriticized however because of the price and lack of an ethernet port and optical drive Roman Loyola of Macworld said that theRetina MacBook Pro was groundbreaking and made people rethink how they use technology He praised the inclusion of USB30 and the slimmer body[94] Dan Ackerman of CNET commented Ive previously called the 15shyinch MacBook Pro one of the mostuniversally useful allshyaround laptops you can buy This new version adds to that with HDMI faster ports and more portability But italso subtracts from that with its exclusion of an optical drive and Ethernet port plus its very high starting price The Pro and RetinaPro are clearly two laptops designed for two different users and with the exception of allshyday commuters who need something closerto a MacBook Air or ultrabook one of the two branches of the MacBook Pro family tree is still probably the most universally usefullaptop you can buy[95]

Joel Santo Domingo of PC Magazine gave the MacBook Pro an Editors Choice rating He praised ldquobrilliant Retina displayrdquo thethin design port selection and speedy storage and highlighted the expansibility via Thunderbolt ports which support up to sevendevices each[96] David Pogue of The New York Times praised the 15shyinch models screen keyboard sound startshyup time cosmetics

The Retina MacBook line have nooptical drives requiring the use of anexternal one This is the officialApple external drive designed forthese computers

battery life storage and RAM capacity however criticized the lack of a SuperDrive pricing and compatibility of the MagSafe 2connector[97]

Since the battery is glued in and cannot be easily disassembled for recycling (an EPEAT requirement) Apple received criticismsabout the machines ability to be recycled Greenpeace spokesman Casey Harrell said Applehas pitted design against the environmentmdashand chosen design Theyre making a big bet thatpeople dont care but recycling is a big issue[98] Wired also criticized Apples recyclabilityclaims stating [t]he design may well be comprised of highly recyclable aluminum andglassmdashbut my friends in the electronics recycling industry tell me they have no way ofrecycling aluminum that has glass glued to it like Apple did with both this machine and therecent iPad[99]

The Retina displays on the MacBook Pro have been criticized for image retention usuallywhen they were manufactured by LG[100][101]

Software and operating systems

The OS X operating system has been preshyinstalled on all MacBook Pros since release starting with version 1044 (Tiger)[2] Alongwith OS X iLife has also shipped with all systems beginning with iLife 06[2]

The MacBook Pro comes with the successor to BIOS Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) 11 EFI handles booting differently fromBIOSshybased computers[103] but provides backwards compatibility allowing dual and triple boot configurations In addition to OS Xthe Microsoft Windows operating system is installable on Intel x86shybased Apple computers Officially this is limited to both 32shybitand 64shybit versions of Windows XP Vista 7 and 8 with the necessary hardware drivers included with the Boot Campsoftware[60][104] Other x86 operating systems such as Linux are also unofficially supported[105] This is made possible by thepresence of the Intel architecture as provided by the CPU and the BIOS emulation Apple has provided on top of EFI[106][107]

As the MacBook Pro uses a different hardware platform than earlier PowerPC (PPC)shybased Macintoshes versions of OS X prior toLion can run PPC applications only via the Rosetta emulator which exacts some performance penalty cannot emulate some lowershylevel PPC code and does not support 64shybit (G5 specific) PPC features[108] Rosetta is not present in Lion and later so PPCapplications cannot be run under those versions of OS X[109]
