MacBook Pro Hands on Video, Light Peak Technology and Sandy Bridge Processor [Video]


Nilay Patel Of Engadget has got his hand's on with the the New MacBook Pro 15". This new Macbook Pros has got some great technology known as "ThunderBolt", which gives you the outstanding transfer(Files) speed of about 10Gbps. With it's Sandy Bridge Processor and AMD Radeon graphics it become the Beast.

As for performance, we were given the $2,199 configuration with a 2.2GHz quad-core Sandy Bridge Core i7, discrete AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, 4GB of RAM and a 750GB HD, which clocked a preliminary GeekBench score of 9647. We’ll have tons more testing in our full review, including detailed comparisons of the discrete chip with Intel’s new integrated HD Graphics 3000.


It's ThunderBolt technology gives it the ability to transfer 700mbps on a RAID array. It just takes seconds to transfer 5GB file.Unfortunately however, Thunderbolt hardware isn’t readily available, so the only thing you’ll be plugging into your shiny new MacBook Pro’s port will be a monitor (all your existing dongles WILL work). Hopefully 3rd party accessory manufacturers won’t be too far behind with their external hard disks and the like.

Here's it's Hands-on video previewing it's Thunderbolt Technology:


Here's another Video showing MacBook Pro multitouch gesture:

New Mac Book Pro in Black Revealed in an Intel Core i5 Processor Ad

Intel in their new Ad of Core i5 Processor, has revealed a new Mac Book Pro which is not yet available. Intel no doubt create best processors in the world and in this Ad they have mainly advertised their Processor not the Mac Book Pro. But why did they use an Laptop which is not yet available.  Intel would never leak an upcoming MacBook Pro in their advertising anyway.


Many sources in the tech domain tell us that the ad knowingly or unknowingly reveals an upcoming Mac Book Pro laptop from Apple. Well, the picture in the advertisement doesn’t give any elaborate details regarding the features of the new MacBook Pro except that the rig comes with i5 Core processor from Intel.

Apple cannot be blamed, as it is not a proper MacBook Pro ad. However, from the picture we can understand that this time the new attire of MacBook Pro has changed from silver to stylish black.

However, it is not the first time that Intel reveals Apple machines before they get launched in the market. They have done the same in a Spanish advertisement of i5 Core processor in early January.
