Hardware Physicals
Aesthetically, the computer is virtually identical to the MacBook unibody ‘old’ 13. “It looks beautiful, with high quality finishes and a feeling of strength, thanks to high housing monocoque design. Has improved, at least for the model 15 that I had, the hinge of the screen and a 13″ is more difficult and not have the problems that had some models on the screen up at certain angles.
Obviously, because of the new built-in battery, no longer have the inner cover to access the battery, while removing a few screws, easy access to the guts “of the computer and we can change the RAM or hard drive easily (speaking also explained in the manual of the device and void the warranty).
Las dimensiones y me parecen muy weight cómodas para shipping (just más de 2 kilos) y además es muy fino.
The distribution of ports is equal to the previous model, with the only differences from the entrance of FW800 and the SD slot. On the right side we have the Superdrive and the left side we have the MagSafe, 2 USB, FW800, SD card reader, Ethernet and I / O (dual audio).
COMPUTER OPERATION
In this regard, I have little to comment on the computer. It works very fast and fluid. Begins in about 25 seconds and off in just over 5 seconds. The programs open fast and the few times you see the ball “of color.” With 4GB of RAM will be even better.
The operation of the computer is completely silent, even more than the model 15 that had previously. Literally, the noise is 0, as long you can hear the hard drive when you work a bit ‘more difficult.
The temperatures during normal use (JDownloader, Safari, Mail …) the temperature of the processor is between 50 and 60 degrees, and the hard drive in 32 sets, most of the time. When I use my Logitech Alto shelf, the temperature can drop a couple of degrees, but little else.
CONNECTIVITY
In the field of computer connectivity upgrade to its predecessor with the inclusion of Firewire 800 and the SD reader. Moreover, as mentioned above, includes 2 USB ports, Ethernet, Mini DisplayPort, audio in / out and Bluetooth 2.1 wireless connectivity and 802.11n wireless.
Although it is ill-served, there are users who can take more missing USB, ExpressCard slot or a video output VGA / DVI, such as the Mini DisplayPort is not widespread and that we should go and buy the cards.
For wireless connections, works perfectly.
SCREEN
The screen is one of the improvements that were introduced in MacBook Pro, 13. Continue to have 13′3-inch resolution of 1280×800 pixels and LED backlight, but the display quality improved enough to the previous model. Has a better brightness, better color definition viewing angles and better with much less yellowing when viewed sideways. I can not say much more about this subject, and I could not make a good picture of the screen, since I do not have the camera at home.
With regards reflexes, such as glass remains the same and yes, they are reflected, but not much more than any other computer display brighter. Yes, I would rather kill or make anti-reflective treatment, but it seems not to be a problem so exaggerated.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The MacBook Pro equips the new Apple keyboard popular, the same style as the rest of the range Apple, with separate buttons. I have already enjoyed in my previous MacBook Air and Pro and it seems a fantastic keyboard. The keys are the size (in the model of 13 “I think they are a bit ’smaller than IT 15″) and the ideal separation, and is very convenient to work on it. The touch is also good. E ‘in the light, which for me is a great advantage. When you have this option, you think it’s silly, but lacked the computer that I had after the air.
The touchpad is the same as in the previous generation of MacBook. N. buttons, features multitouch technology, is made of glass and is enormous. And ‘the best I’ve ever tasted touchpad, the touch is exquisite, perfectly responds to both clicks and gestures and that the size is convenient. In fact, words can not express how well they work and how wonderful it is better to try. It’s perfect.
OPERATING SYSTEM
For those who are not in a good position in Apple computers, said as usual, the MacBook Pro (and other Apple computers) with the latest version of the system, called Leopard 10.5.
This is a very user friendly system, which usually is a golden opportunity quickly very stable and does not need anti-virus, because the threats are more focused on Windows. More software for Mac (quality), and all that is used in Windows, or is it the same version of the program for the Mac, or if there is another who does the same thing (The only exception is Autocad, which is comparable, but I think people interested in that particular). Furthermore, we are able to install Windows natively with Boot Camp or virtualization software or Parralles VM.
As my computer was purchased after June 8, have the right to purchase the new version of the system of 8′95 million (€ 29 ones with Leopard pre-June 8.) This new version of the operating system is more focused on improving the performance of the team that provide important new interface and new features.

BATTERY
Another important development of the new MacBook Pro is the battery. It is now integrated in the computer has a new design that makes better use and forms of cargo and last longer (up to 1000 according to Apple). Autonomy, according to Apple, which increases up to 7 hours.
The 7 hours is not the conditions, but has great autonomy. With the screen with a high level of brightness, Wifi, keyboard and mouse connected by BT and surf the Internet, takes about 5 ½ hours, an amount that seems very good autonomy, more than twice as long is the Dell XPS 13 ” we have is more like the MacBook Pro 13 that we have.
The burden is also quite fast, just under 2 hours is rather flat. In conclusion, improved battery life seems pretty great.
CONCLUSIONS
I think a fantastic key factors are good size and weight, high quality finish and solid feel, good screen, great battery, keyboard and touchpad are fantastic and even the price (€ 1010) seems consistent with what you buy. Also, finally, includes FW800.
Some decisions you can make the team, maybe the Mini DisplayPort is a damn USB and some more.
I highly recommend. I think it is an ideal.
Pros:
- Design and finishes
- Screen
- Battery
- Keyboard and Touchpad
- Card reader FW800 and (finally)
- Very quiet
CONS:
- Too few USB port .
- Mini DisplayPort underused.
