That’s not to say that there won’t be products in the future.

It’s a new tech that allows fast file transfer between two devices like an external hard drive as well as power monitors via the DisplayPort tech. Why should you be excited? Because it will let you stream four 1080p uncompressed videos at the same time - an impressive feat, as well as transferring a 5GB file from your hard drive to your computer in around 10 seconds - try and do that at home on your current computer (as demoed to Pocket-lint in a private briefing).īetter still the technology is future proof too, so as accessories get faster - it's roadmapped to 100Gbps but starting at 10Gbps - users won't have to change their laptops, just the Thunderbolt products and cables. Sounds amazing doesn't it? Here’s the rub: there are zero Thunderbolt products on the market available right now to buy. The same can’t be said for the insides that have had a speed boost and new tech added. Thunderbolt is the headline-grabbing feature. Strangely they don't sound as good as our 13-inch MacBook Pro in the office, even though they've got bigger speaker real estate on the laptop. They're okay, but rather tinny on the selection of tracks we tested the laptop with - Clint Mansell and Jessie J. When it comes to audio playback you'll find the speakers are placed either side of the keyboard thanks to the additional space provided by the larger frame.

The chiclet keyboard design sees well spaced out keys that are responsive and comfortable to use and the trackpad is big enough to let you do plenty of gesture movements - something that will become increasingly important in Mac OS X Lion. We had an off the shelf setup, but were very happy with the screen resolution and it's performance, which incidentally is the same for the keyboard and trackpad.

However if you're happy to pay for an upgrade you can increase this by 36 per cent to 1680 x 1050 with either a glossy (an extra £80) or antiglare display (an extra £120) instead. Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 with support for additional 16:10, 5:4, 4:3, and 3:2 aspect ratio resolutions.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 15.4-inch (viewable) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display. Not that you'll need to output to a monitor as you get a very nice display included. On the right you’ll find the 8x slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) sitting next to the security lock slot, and on the left a collection of ports including the MagSafe power socket, an Ethernet port, a FireWire 800 port, two USB 2.0 sockets, Audio Line in and Audio Line out (they are shared on the 13-inch model), an SDXC card reader (a speed and capacity boost from a standard SD card reader) and a new port, Thunderbolt, that now sits where the DisplayPort was and in fact is the same size and dimensions. The only physical difference for the naked eye here is that it has a Thunderbolt logo next to it rather than a square one that looks like a monitor. The clean lines, the unibody aluminium design, the chiclet keyboard and huge trackpad are all present and correct. Here at Pocket-lint we rate the Apple MacBook Pro design highly and the new model gets the same praise, not deviating from the path one iota. Get the new MacBook Pro out of the box and you’ll see that cosmetically nothing has changed.
