Full review of macbook pro core 2 duo 2.2 gigahertz
Mercury exposure has been linked to such awful, chronic, and incurable conditions such as Alzheimer's, autism, and multiple sclerosis. No one can be 100 percent sure about the connections-even the guys with the multiple Ph.D.s doing the research-but why take a chance? We should all do our part to limit mercury release into our environment. One of the newest, hippest and most powerful ways to do so are the updated Apple Macbook Pros.
Yes, besides making their new MacBook Pros some of the most potent and sleekest laptops in the world, Apple has also made them some of the most eco-friendly-call them organic Apples. The 15-inch versions are LED-backlit and contain no mercury, unlike most other IT products, which are a major source of the toxic metal.
That's a bonus for tree huggers, enviro-anarchists, and conscientious capitalists out there. But every other reader of Laptopical will savor the fast and the furious side of the Apples.
The engine under the hood in these new MacBook Pros is the Intel Core 2 Duo with at least 4MB of cache, 800MHz on the frontside bus, and 2GB of RAM-with processor speeds starting at 2.2 GHz, up to 2.4 GHz. For graphics, you're looking at a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT.
The wireless is faster too. Instead of using the 802.11g frequency, the MacBooks tap into the 802.11n network, which can boost speeds fivefold and double your wireless range. Bluetooth and Ethernet are included to round out multimedia connectivity, as well as an ExpressCard slot, FireWire port, built-in iSight camera, and a DVI video output.
As with any Apple, you get a bushel of software products, such as the iLife suite, Safari browser and OS X. But with any Apple, you get a price tag. The 15-inch, mercury free 2.2-GHz MacBook starts at $1,999. While at $2,799, you get a 17-inch display with optional uber-resolution (1920x1200), and the 2.4-GHz processor. The only problem with the 17-incher-it's got mercury in it.
