About This Mac

Midway through 2010, Apple introduced a new MacBook Pro line-up powered by “Intel Core i5” processors. The first in the line-up is the MacBook Pro “Core i5” 2.4 GHz 15-inch. Some of its main characteristics that make it a relevant device even in today’s standards include – coming with two graphics processors built into it, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (providing better graphics) and Intel HD Graphics (providing better battery life) the switch between the two is determined by the operating system depending on what applications are in use. A turbo boost for the processor speed is also supported on this system when there is significant workload. It is a device of high quality and one that still holds sway among its peers from other competitors till date.

Storage

The Hard drive storage is increased to 320 GB capacity which is almost double the previous year. This may seem small by today’s standards but considering the base model MacBook Pro 2017 has only 256 GB SDD, this is a fairly large storage for the time.

Screen Size and Resolution

This version of the MacBook Pro came in with a 15.4’ screen but also a customizable display. The default display is the TFT active-matrix “glossy” display (1440×900 native resolution) but for US$100 you could get a custom “high-resolution glossy” 1680×1050 display and for US$150 get a custom “high-resolution antiglare” 1680×1050 display.
