The aluminum 13-inch MacBook has morphed into the 13-inch MacBook Pro. It was introduced today at Apple’s WWDC. You can get up to 8GB of RAM, up to a 500GB hard disk or 128GB SSD, and a 72-percent NTSC color gamut 13-inch LCD. FireWire is back, the 800 kind (but not 400). In addition to FireWire, Apple squeezed in a SD card reader. That’s nice and I know you can’t cram everything into the left of a MacBook but how about a CF card reader if Apple really is targeting the professional photographers with the Pro model? Another ‘feature’ that I don’t like is the integrated lithium polymer battery just like the one in the new 15.4-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro’s. Sure it allows the 13-inch MacBook Pro to last 7 hours, 2 more than the 13-inch MacBook, but a professional-grade notebook PC should really have a replaceable battery. Right? What is right is the price: starting at just $1199.

battery life qouted as of doing nothing, even worse in bootcamp… (I’ve had the mb pro, returned after two weeks, non replacable battery just kills the overall quite nice device)
And that’s exactly why I use the white MacBook with the replaceable battery and FireWire 400. The price was right too.
This notebook has outstanding features and design. It is very user friendly and suits according to buy budget. Planning to buy one. For more details refer http://www.etechreviews.net/mac-is-back-13-inch-macbook-pro-summer-2009-notebook/
