Apple updates MacBook Pro family

Apple today updated the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro line to include
13-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch models featuring Apple's innovative
built-in battery for up to 40 percent longer battery life. Each
MacBook Pro includes an LED-backlit display with greater color
intensity, the innovative glass Multi-Touch trackpad, an illuminated
keyboard, an SD card or ExpressCard slot, a FireWire 800 port and
state of the art NVIDIA graphics. Starting at just $1,199, the
MacBook Pro line is more affordable than ever, with some models up to
$300 less than the previous generation. The industry's greenest
notebook lineup, every Mac notebook achieves EPEAT* Gold status and
meets Energy Star 5.0 requirements, setting a new standard for
environmentally friendly notebook design.

"Across the line, all of our new MacBook Pro models now include
Apple's innovative built-in battery for up to seven hours of battery
life, while staying just as thin and light as before," said Philip
Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product
Marketing. "Starting at just $1,199, the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro
is more affordable than ever and sets a new standard for
environmentally friendly notebook design."

The new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models include Apple's
innovative built-in notebook battery for up to seven hours of
wireless productivity on a single charge without adding thickness,
weight or cost. Using Adaptive Charging and advanced chemistry first
introduced with the 17-inch MacBook Pro earlier this year, the
built-in battery delivers up to 1,000 recharges before it reaches 80
percent of its original capacity--nearly three times the lifespan of
conventional batteries.** The longer battery lifespan equals fewer
depleted batteries and less waste.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is a significant upgrade at a lower price
than the original aluminum MacBook it replaces. With the same sleek
and durable design popular with consumers, students and
professionals, all 13-inch MacBook Pro models now include a seven
hour built-in battery, an SD card slot, a FireWire 800 port, an
illuminated keyboard and an improved LED-backlit display with 60
percent greater color gamut. Featuring the powerful NVIDIA GeForce
9400M integrated graphics processor, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is
available in two models: one with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB of
RAM and a 160GB hard drive priced at $1,199, and another with a 2.53
GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive priced at
$1,499.

The perfect balance of performance and portability, the 15-inch
MacBook Pro now features a seven hour built-in battery, an SD card
slot, an improved LED-backlit display with 60 percent greater color
gamut and 4GB of RAM across the line at an entry price $300 less than
before. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is available in three models: a
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system with a 250GB hard drive and NVIDIA
GeForce 9400M graphics for a new entry price of $1,699; a 2.66 GHz
Intel Core 2 Duo system with a 320GB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce
9400M and 9600M GT graphics for $1,999; and a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2
Duo system with a 500GB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and
9600M GT graphics for $2,299.

The 17-inch MacBook Pro, which includes an eight hour built-in
battery, an ExpressCard slot, a brilliant LED-backlit display, 4GB of
RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT graphics, has been updated
to include a faster 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a larger
500GB hard drive for $2,499, which is $300 less than before.

All MacBook Pro systems feature Apple's revolutionary aluminum
unibody design and for the first time can be upgraded with up to 8GB
of RAM, and up to a 500GB hard drive or up to a 256GB solid state
drive. The 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models can also be
upgraded to a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. All MacBook Pro
systems include a next generation, industry-standard Mini DisplayPort
to connect with the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display.

Apple today also updated the incredibly thin and light MacBook Air,
making it more powerful and more affordable. Measuring just 0.16 to
0.76-inches thin and weighing just three pounds, the MacBook Air is
available in two models starting with the new entry price of $1,499
for a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system with a 120GB hard drive and
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, and a 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system
with a 128GB solid state drive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics for
$1,799.

Every Mac notebook achieves EPEAT Gold status and meets Energy Star
5.0 requirements, setting a new standard for environmentally friendly
notebook design. Each unibody enclosure is made of highly recyclable
aluminum and comes standard with energy efficient LED-backlit
displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass. All
MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models contain no brominated flame
retardants and use internal cables and components that are PVC-free.
The built-in battery design results in less waste and depleted
batteries can be replaced for $129 or $179, which includes
installation and disposal of your old battery in an environmentally
responsible manner.

Every MacBook Pro comes with Apple's innovative iLife '09 featuring
iPhoto for managing photos, iMovie for making movies and GarageBand
for creating and learning to play music. Every Mac also runs Leopard,
the world's most advanced operating system, featuring Time Machine,
an effortless way to automatically back up everything on a Mac;
Spaces, an intuitive feature used to create groups of applications
and instantly switch between them; Mail with easy setup and elegant,
personalized stationery; and iChat, the most advanced video chat.
