The new MacBook family is available in five models: two 13.3-inch units, two 15.4-inch versions, and a giant 17-inch. The base prices of these models range from $ 1,199 to $ 2,499, but configuration options, such as faster processors, more memory and larger hard drives or SSDs, you can easily increase the cost considerably.
In the past we have dinged Apple for putting a premium on their laptops when compared with models with similar specifications from other manufacturers. From here you can argue, however, that this is simply not a fair comparison to compare apples and oranges if you will, you're not going to find another laptop running the Mac operating system (at least not legally) and you If you are going to be difficult to find another laptop that comes even close to the aesthetic design of the MacBook Pro
The Cores:
Each core can run much faster than its rated clock speed through a feature called Turbo Boost. For example, the CPU to 2.2 GHz in the 17-inch MacBook Pro can execute instructions up to 3.3GHz if you can avoid overheating. This is where the metal-plastic argument against gains traction. A notebook PC plastic housing acts as an insulator, heat pooling around the components, while the MacBook Pro unibody aluminum chassis dissipates. The Mac is better able to keep the heat generating components like the CPU, GPU, wireless, RAM, hard drive and battery (charging) fresh. In the past, this has allowed the MacBook Pro to avoid thermal limitation commonplace in desktop computers. Today, mean core Mac laptop Turbo Boost can kick in more often. Mac laptops that are faster than their PC counterparts is not the mythology of Apple fanboy. This is by design.
Updates:
The MacBook Pro Benchmarks has undergone some improvements, but according to a large number of users who still have problems with loading of material in their units. The new 15 and 17 inch MacBook Pro is said to have problems locking up and freezing when subjected to heavy loads and forced to do a lot of work. It says it is a problem that was widespread and even after an update from Apple, the MacBook Pro still appears to be having a problem.
