Thunderbolt consists of two bi-directional channels offering transfer speeds up to 10Gbps each, hooking up PCI Express directly to external peripherals such as RAID arrays. The Mini DisplayPort from previous iterations has been replaced by a new Apple Thunderbolt port on the updated MacBook Pro range, which offers backward compatibility with the DisplayPort connector via a bundled dongle, but also high-speed data transfers. There's also a slot-loading 8x SuperDrive DVD-burner – Apple still refuses to consider Blu-ray – and a webcam, now renamed from iSight to FaceTime-HD.

As before, the glossy display runs at 1920 x 1200 as standard, but can be specified with a matte finish, while storage is 750GB as standard and up to 512GB of SSD as an option.Īll of the new models have an SDXC memory card slot (aside from the 17-inch, which has an ExpressCard slot), WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, gigabit ethernet and a FireWire 800 port. Finally, a single 17-inch MacBook Pro SKU has been revealed, running Intel's quad-core 2.2GHz Core i7 processor and the same double graphics options: Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB with automatic switching.
