Among these is the somewhat small 'Enter' key. The keyboard consists of 79 normally-sized backlit keys. The input devices remain the same as those of previous MacBook Pros, which are by no means bad. With the recommended retail price (RRP) of 249 Euro, Apple Care comes a bit cheaper here than with the 15' and 17' models (349 Euro)-still not exactly a bargain. There's always the option of opting into the extended warranty called Apple Care Protection Plan (ACPP), which extends over-the-phone support to a total of 36 months from the purchase date. The MacBook Pro comes with a short 12-month warranty including 90 days of over-the-phone technical support.

The laptop comes with the Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard operating system pre-installed.

Furthermore, there's also an infrared receiving for use with the AppleRemote (unidirectional).īesides the laptop itself, the variety of accessories remains minimal, including a power supply and cable, a user manual called 'Everything Mac', additional instructions called 'Everything Else', two software DVDs, stickers and a cleaning cloth.

Additionally, Apple has put in place a dedicated Bluetooth 3.0 chip (most likely the BCM2070 according to iFixit), but Apple is still advertising it only as the 2.1+EDR version. The Broadcom BCM4331 wifi card now uses 3 antennae, helping it achieve a slightly longer range and slightly higher transfer rates. A small alteration is to be found within the case concerning the wireless internet connection.
