Webcam
A FaceTime HD camera is built into the bezel at the top
center of the screen, as with the iMac
Keyboard
Backlit to make it easier to use in low light. The
backlighting adjusts automatically according to ambient light
Trackpad
The Multi-Touch trackpad supports OS X Lion’s gestures
Battery life All MacBook Pro models will last around seven
hours on a charge, based on Apple’s
example of browsing the web via wifi. Without wifi, you could get even longer,
but apps that work the processors harderwill reduce battery life. Apple’s MagSafe connector ensures
you won’t damage your
laptop if you trip over the power cable while charging - the lead just pops out
Ports
The 13in MacBook Pro has two USB 2 ports, one FireWire 800,
one Thunderbolt and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as 802.11n wifi and Bluetooth 2.1
+ EDR, audio in/out and an SD Card reader. The headphone port doubles as line
in and digital out, and stereo speakers with a subwoofer are built in. The 15in
adds a dedicated line in, while the 17in also has an extra USB 2 and an
ExpressCard/34 slot
Optical drive

All Pros have a built-in 8x slot- loading SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Screen
Like all Apple displays, the MacBook Pro’s screens have a
high-gloss finish.
This maximizes contrast and sharpness, but reflections can
be distracting. The 15in model has an optional higherresolution
screen (more pixels packed into the same area), which in turn has an anti-glare
option, at extra cost. Anti-glare is also a £40 option on the 17in screen
All MacBook Pros can also drive an external display at up to
2560 x 1600 via the Thunderbolt port. This can act as a Mini DisplayPort to
connect to earlier Apple monitors, or connect to DVI or VGA with adaptors from
Apple, or to HDMI with third-party adaptors
