Apple Macbook MA611LLA 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo T7600, 2GB DDR2, 160GB, DVD-RW DL, Mac OS X, 17in TFT

Apple® 2.33GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro (MA611LL/A)

Slender yet powerful: This MacBook Pro features a 2.33GHz Intel® Core 2 Duo processor, 4MB L2 cache, 2GB of DDR2 memory in a design that’s just one inch thin. The PCI Express, a Serial ATA hard drive and the ATI® Mobility Radeon™ X1600 graphics processor add even more speed.

Dual-core performance: With two execution cores built into a single chip, the Intel Core 2 Duo gives the MacBook Pro up to 39% more performance than the previous MacBook Pro and seven times the performance of PowerBook G4. This MacBook Pro can render complex 3D models, play smooth 1080p HD video or host a four-way video conference, all without breaking a sweat.

Incredible software: MacBook Pro comes with iLife ’06, a suite of easy-to-use applications that gives you the tools to make things you never thought you could make. Fun things like movies, podcasts, gorgeous coffee-table books, hollywood-style DVDs, beautiful music and even your own daily blog.

Integrated webcam: An iSight camera is placed in the bevel of every MacBook Pro. And iLife software lets you use this camera in some entirely new ways. Use iChat AV to video chat with up to three other people at once. Take warped and Warholesque snapshots with Photo Booth. Or record right into iMovie and use iWeb to create a video blog entry or podcast in just a few clicks.

Sensitive display: The brilliant 17-inch, 1680 by 1050 pixel screen captures subtle shifts in the color space that you won’t see on other notebooks. You’ll see blacker blacks, whiter whites and many more colors in between.

Graphics powerhouse: The ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, dual-link DVI support and 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM power this traveling visual studio. Retouch color, edit on location or video conference with colleagues anywhere. Or relax and enjoy the smooth video playback and texture-rich 3D performance in next-generation games.

Windows-compatible: Thanks to programs such as Parallels Desktop for Mac (sold separately), new Apples can run Mac and Windows XP operating systems side by side. There’s no need to choose between the fun of owning a Mac and the convenience of your Windows-only applications.

Share your ideas: Spend some time with your MacBook Pro and you’ll want to get creative. Use the slot-loading 8x SuperDrive to share your new ideas on DVD or file them away for another day in the 160GB 5400RPM Serial ATA hard drive.

Remote control: Entertain the room with music, movies and slideshows. Effortlessly navigate through a business presentation. The Apple Remote and Front Row software let you orchestrate your digital show from anywhere in the room.

Skilled communicator: The MacBook Pro makes it easy to stay in touch. Choose between built-in Wireless-G, Bluetooth 2.0 or a Gigabit Ethernet connection.

Innovative power cord: The MagSafe power adapter features a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So if you trip over the power cord, it will break cleanly away. No damage and no worries.

Shock protection: The MacBook Pro features a sudden motion sensor. If the sensor detects a fall, this smart notebook safely parks the hard drive head to protect your data.

Illuminated keyboard: The backlit keyboard lets you enjoy the MacBook no matter what the hour. The built-in ambient light sensor adjusts the keyboard and display to provide optimum brightness.
