History

The MacBook Pro was the first Mac laptop to use Intel processors. The name of Apple's professional portable computer was ostensibly changed from PowerBook because Apple believed that all Macintosh computers should have "Mac" in their product names. Although the MacBook Pro included a number of improvements over the last iteration of the PowerBook G4—a thinner case, an integrated iSight camera, a remote control with Apple's Front Row home media center software, an ExpressCard/34 slot, improved wireless reception, a larger screen, and the new "MagSafe" power connector designed to be less prone to damage—there were also some notable omissions. The MacBook Pro no longer included FireWire800 ports, s-video, or a modem (a USB modem was available separately), and the slot-loading SuperDrive no longer supported dual-layer DVD+R media. The MacBook Pro was marketed in two configurations: 1.83 GHz/80 GB/$1999 U.S. and 2.0 GHz/100 GB/$2499 U.S.

Trivia

• The MacBook Pro was the first Mac laptop to use Intel processors, marking a technological revolution in the history of Apple computers. • The name "MacBook Pro" was chosen because Apple wanted all Macintosh products to have "Mac" in the product name, thus replacing the historic PowerBook line. • The MagSafe connector, introduced on the MacBook Pro, was innovative because it was designed to detach easily in case of impact, thus protecting the computer from damage caused by accidental drops.
