Thread: Apple MacBook Pro 15 "i7

The model we will examine this time is the mythical MacBook Pro from Apple 15 "Core i7-620 dual core 2.66 GHz and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (there is the possibility of increasing the memory to 8 GB). The difference between the three versions available are mainly related to the size of the Hard Disk, besides being able to equip your gem with a high resolution monitor (1680 × 1050 pixels).

At first glance, we are usually in front of the houses made ​​in Silicon Valley in a unique body design with clean and spartan with the apple and nothing else, while the display returns to be framed by an elegant black border.The ports are all arranged on the left, which is now part of the tradition, while the right is the Kensington lock and a DVD burner (unfortunately not seem to be available as a Blu-Ray). 2 USB ports are certainly not many, but the Bluetooth 3.0 and the Magic Mouse reduce the ports used, and the Display Port needs an expensive HDMI or VGA adapter to connect it to a video output.



The keyboard is the usual Apple which has accustomed us, buttons visible at a distance and with backlight for easier typing in the dark. The touchpad is wide and smooth, made ​​of glass and is equipped with all possible multi-gesture on the iPhone.

The screen is what you would expect from this computer. The 15-inch 1440 × 900 is more than enough for a good overall view and the brightness is controlled by a sensor that adjusts as needed, while the high contrast (690:1) provides a deep black. Unfortunately, the choice of the glossy screen (the matte screen is only available on high-resolution screen) causes is difficult in open space vision. In contrast, viewing angles are well supported.
