So, you'll need to find them by trial and error at the beginning.

MACBOOK INTEL CORE 2 DUO FAN CLICKING FOR MAC OS X

The layout is optimized for Mac OS X and characterized by being only sparsely labelled (e.g., the labels for the following characters are missing: '|').

The cursor keys stayed small (which is especially inconvenient for gamers) and so did the very small enter key.Īs usual we have to warn Windows PC switchers. In our test we were able to touch type immediately without problems. The layout of the Apple keyboard is very good for Mac OS X. Compared to the similarly looking keyboard of the MacBook Air, the key feedback appeared to be somewhat softer in our test. It also does not give, because of the aluminium shell.

Because the keyboard unit is screwed to the full body the keys are tightly embedded in the case an do not clatter. Similar to the expensive MacBook model also the keys of the MacBook Pro are lighted from below. The keys are now directly embedded in the case and have a soft yet clear feedback. The new keyboard of the MacBook Pro is also based on the research done for the MacBook Air and is the same as the new MacBook aluminium keyboard. However, a noticeable detail is that this lighting cannot be completely turned off under Windows Vista (in contrast to Mac OS X). Especially in dim rooms this feature is very useful. The keyboard lighting, which is well-known from former models, works also without problems in the new laptop by Apple. This might be due to the spread within a series.

Compared to the MacBook test sample the keyboard of the MacBook Pro appeared to be a little softer (although it is apparently the same keyboard unit). Except of the space bar typing is also very quiet. Each key has a soft, short travel with perceptible feedback. The single-key keyboard is also user-friendly if used for a longer time.

This is preferable for right-handers, but could cause troubles for left handers. It is noteworthy that all interfaces except of the Kensington lock are now on the left side. In order to be able to connect most of the available external screens a DVI or VGA adpater is also required. The old Dual-Link DVI interface was replaced by a modern mini DisplayPort. Actually the connectivity is even worse, because Apple did not provide the old FireWire 400 port, because of lack of available space. In practice you'll often come to the limits of the 2 USB ports and you'll miss an adapter for the mini DisplayPort (which does not transmit sound, and, so, can never be used with fully-fledged HDMI adapter).Īlike the former MBP (MacBook Pro) also the new model is only sparsely equipped with interfaces. Only the 'old' Magsafe plug (I know like in the MacBook Pro) does no longer match the new look of this Apple laptop.Īlso in terms of connectivity, the first (somewhat sparse) impression persists. The opening angle of the display is now bigger by some degrees and, so, also sufficient for working on the lap. The magnetic lock works trouble-free and holds the lid sufficiently tight if closed.įinally, Apple also reacted to the biggest disadvantage of the beautifully counter-sunk display hinge.

Typical Apple the gaps are precise and the display lid finally closes due to the new closing mechanism of the MacBook Air absolutely flush. Compared to the former model, the case is even thinner and marginally lighter. The full body aluminium case has an excellent haptics and appears to be of very high-quality. The aluminium case only finds a contrast in the display's black border (with crystal coat) and in the black plastic cover of the hinge (in order to guarantee WLAN and Bluetooth reception). Nevertheless, we liked the old power-button of the MacBook Pro even more. And also the power switch and the keyboard are the same. In the 5 th generation of MacBook Pros Apple completely re-engineered the MacBook Pro, and adopted the trend-setting MacBook Air design.Įspecially the rounded display lid reminds very much on the MacBook Air. So, this part is identical to the case section of the first MacBook Pro 15" review. Only the battery cover was not 100% accurately fitting and wobbled a little bit in the second test sample. Even if you use the MacBook Pro 15" for a longer time, the excellent impression the design and the workmanship of this laptop left persists.
