Description
The Apple MacBook Pro “Core 2 Duo” 2.16 15-Inch features a 2.16 GHz “Core 2 Duo” processor (T7400), with two independent processor “cores”, a 4 MB shared “on chip” level 2 cache, a 667 MHz frontside bus, 1.0 GB of 667 MHz PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM, a 120 GB hard drive with “Sudden Motion Sensor” technology, and a 6X dual-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW SuperDrive (compared to a single-layer drive in earlier 15-inch models). It also includes an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 128 MB of GDDR3 video memory and dual-link DVI functionality, and a 15.4″ widescreen 1440×900 TFT active-matrix display (glossy display option available).
Like the previous 15-inch MacBook Pro models, this model has the same fiber-optic-based “ambient light sensor” that adjusts keyboard illumination and screen brightness, “scrolling TrackPad”, “MagSafe” power connector, integrated iSight video camera, and included Apple Remote. Connectivity includes the same ExpressCard/34 slot, AirPort Extreme (although the Core 2 Duo models support 802.11n as well as 802.11g after a firmware update), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire “400” port, two USB 2.0 ports, optical digital audio in/out, and DVI out. However, the MacBook Pro “Core 2 Duo” models also added a single Firewire “800” port, much to the delight of videographers.
