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 naming to include "Pro" due to several significant improvements, which were 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 and 2.53 GHz/4 GB RAM/250 GB HD/$1499 USD. Build-to-order 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 transformed the MacBook into the MacBook Pro 13" by adding the word "Pro" to emphasize new professional features such as the FireWire800 port and backlit keyboard. • The MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2009 was the first Apple computer to include an SD card slot, an absolute novelty for Cupertino at the time. • Despite the addition of advanced professional features, prices dropped by 100 dollars compared to the previous model, starting from 1,199 dollars in the base configuration.
