The Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 Notebook - A Detailed Assessment

By Aaron Yamasaki Xavier


Apple MacBooks have been around for a while, and dedicated fans as well as new ones will be interested to see what the Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 Notebook has added to earlier versions. A lot of people are always glad to see one of the updates Apple offers quite often for its products. Others have trouble staying current on the most recent version for their computer, including the latest operating system. So, here is a preview of what you can expect from the Apple MacBook Pro so you can make an intelligent decision as to whether it is for you or not.

Intel's HD Graphics is included in the latest version of the MacBook Pro notebooks. Apple realizes that one of the most sought after uses of their computers is for people who use a lot of graphics. Regardless of your graphics needs, this graphics system loads fast and provides crisp and clear images. It's great for gamers, for using FaceTime for video calls, or for just watching your favorite video. If you're a gaming enthusiast or prefer higher resolution for your videos, you can access the AMD Radeon graphics for applications that need a higher-end graphics processor. This is available when you buy a 15" or 17" MacBooks Pro. With more games becoming available for the Mac computers, gamers and others will no longer have to complain about the lack of games that are available.

Actually, Mac computers have had this capability for a few years, but many people still aren't aware of it and don't realize that you don't have to sacrifice Windows capability when you buy a Mac. You do have to buy and install Windows, though, and there will be an additional cost for this. Alternatively, many more Macintosh programs are available, and some programs are compatible with both systems.

The battery life of the Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 Notebook is better than average, something that can be important when you're running it in an environment where it can't be plugged in. People that invest in the 13 inch model find that the battery will last seven hours or more. For those of you that use Bootcamp to run Windows, you will find that your battery life will be considerably shorter. For this reason, if you're going to be running your Apple MacBook Pro using battery power, it's best to stick to the Mac OS, and try to save any Windows related tasks for when you have a chance to plug the notebook in so your battery doesn't run out.

The change in graphics to Intel's HD graphics from the discrete Nvidia graphics that was included with previous MacBook Notebooks is thought of as a step backwards by a lot of users. The main groups to whom this switch will be relevant are gamers and high-use graphics users. The average Notebook user will discover that they get high quality pictures from either graphics system. Unfortunately, the Apple MacBook Pro may not be suitable for a gamer or any other specialists who needs a more advanced graphics system.

All of the improvements on the Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 notebook shows this company's dedication to constantly improving everything it makes. Sharing photos, video conferencing, and a variety of other features make the MacBook Pro computers the ones to get. Overall, the Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 computer is perfect for people in business and students alike.
