PowerPC Macs won’t let you install OS X to a USB drive or choose it as your startup volume, although there is a work around for that.

Power PC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes.

Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. This will wake up your ‘Book and restore use of the built-in display. To resume use of the internal display, you need to disconnect the external display, put the computer to sleep, and then open the lid. Since all video RAM is now dedicated to the external monitor, you may have more colors available at higher resolutions. The built-in display will remain off, and the external monitor will become your only display. Your ‘Book will go to sleep, but you can wake it by moving the mouse or using the keyboard. Power up your ‘Book until the desktop appears on the external display and then close the lid.

To used closed lid mode, your ‘Book must be plugged into the AC adapter and connected to an external display and a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard (you might also want to consider external speakers).

Unlike early MacBooks, where every USB port could provide 500 mA of power, only one USB port provides full power – the port closer to the front.īattery life is claimed to be 7 hours of wireless productivity.Ĭlosed Lid Mode: All Intel ‘Books support “lid closed” (or clamshell) mode, which leaves the built-in display off and dedicates all video RAM to an external display. Note that the built-in display is only capable of 18-bit color, not the full 24-bit color you might expect.

At this time we do not know if they apply to the new Unibody model. If you are replacing your hard drive with another hard drive or an SSD, it might be wise to replace the cable proactively.Įditor’s note: The next two paragraphs are from the profile of the previous version of the MacBook Pro. 128, 256, and 512 GB SSDs are extra cost options.Ĭaution: There is an issue with all 20 pre-Retina 13″ MacBook Pros – the hard drive cables are subject to failure due to the way they are routed. 4 GB of RAM is standard, and it can be upgraded to 16 GB. The new model comes in 2.3 GHz i5 and 2.7 GHz i7 versions. The black keys look sharp with the aluminum enclosure, and the 13″ MacBook Pro only comes with a glossy screen. The 13″ MBP uses the same keyboard as before, complete with backlighting. The entire trackpad functions as the mouse button. It supports 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-finger gestures. The glass trackpad is the same one found in the previous generation of MacBook Pro models. In testing, the Early 2011 models generally match or outperform the 2010 models. The new models are rated at only 7 hours of battery power, down from 10 for last year’s models, due to changes in the way Apple measures battery life. The 13″ MacBook Pro also takes some steps backward: The Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics give way to integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics, which uses 384 MB of system memory (up from 256 MB in last year’s model). Thunderbolt can be used for video, hard drives, and networking, and adapters let you connect FireWire and USB devices.Īpple has improved AirPort performance by building three WiFi antennas into the Early 2011 MacBook Pros, allowing three channels with 150 Mbps bandwidth for a maximum bandwidth of 450 Mbps. Thunderbolt is 12 times as fast as FireWire 800, over 20 times as fast as USB 2.0, and twice as fast as USB 3.0, which Apple seems in no hurry to adopt. The hot new technology for this generation is Thunderbolt, a 10 Gbps data connection that uses the Mac’s Mini DisplayPort.

These dual-core mobile CPUs have a 3-4 MB Level 3 cache shared by both cores and, thanks to Turbo Boost architecture, should be significantly more powerful than the Core 2 Duo processors they replace despite a tiny change in rated CPU speed. The Early 2011 model migrates from the dated Intel Core 2 Duo to Intel’s newer Core i5 and i7 CPUs. Apple took some big steps forward with the refreshed 13.3″ MacBook Pro.
