Apple 17-inch MacBook Pro is long on looks, battery life

摘要

Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro is appropriate for high-value content producers and executives who desire a highly capable desktop replacement that makes a bang when it enters the room. The first thing 1 noticed about Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro notebook-whichrnearned an eWEEK Analyst's Choice award-is the appealing fit and finish. The solid aluminum unibody enclosure operates smoothly-from the opening of the magnetic clasp to the easy-yet-sure swing of the display to the seamless undercarriage. Announced in January and available since mid-February, the 17-inch MacBook Pro ranges in price from $2,799 for the unit I tested to $4,899. The MacBook Pro I tested came equipped with a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of 1,066MHz DDR3 RAM, a 320GB Serial ATA drive and an internal optical drive.
