History

Introduced in June 2009, the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) replaced the MacBook (13-inch, aluminum, Late 2008). Apple chose to "upgrade" the name to include Pro because of several significant improvements, considered professional-level features. These included a FireWire800 port, an SD card slot (a first for Apple), an improved LED-backlit display and a backlit keyboard on all models. The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) also included the integrated battery introduced with the MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009). The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) was marketed in two configurations, at a price $100 USD lower than previous models, despite the inclusion of more professional features: 2.26 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/$1199 USD, 2.53 GHz/4 GB RAM/250 GB HD/$1499 USD. Custom configuration options included a 320 or 500 GB hard drive, a 128 or 256 GB solid state drive and up to 8 GB of RAM.

Trivia

• In June 2009, Apple decided to rename the MacBook to "MacBook Pro" 13-inch because it was equipped with professional features such as the FireWire800 port and SD card reader, an absolute novelty for MacBooks. • The 2009 MacBook Pro 13" was the first in the line to introduce the integrated non-removable battery, a revolutionary decision that would characterize all future Apple laptops. • Despite the addition of numerous professional features, the price of the entry-level model dropped to just $1,199, a full $100 less than previous models, making pro technology more accessible to consumers.
