Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.4GHz 2GB RAM Intel Core 2 Duo

The MacBookPro is all about ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity, and mobility. Built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo which packs the power of two processor cores (in this case 2.4GHz) inside a single chip, it provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. Whether you re creating 3D animation, editing photos from the day s shoot, or playing your favorite video game, the MacBook Pro delivers serious processing power with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller. It also delivers up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory with a faster, 800MHz frontside bus and support for hard drives up to 250GB. Amazingly enough, all this power comes in a package only one inch thick and a mere 6.8 pounds, making the MacBook Pro model among the thinnest, lightest notebooks in its display class.

Looks are everything The combination of a 16-lane PCI Express architecture and the powerful NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor brings a new level of realism to MacBook Pro users. 16x full screen anti-aliasing, 128-bit High Dynamic Range rendering, and a texture fill rate of up to 8.2 billion per second provide unrivaled picture quality and lifelike contrast and tone for next-generation 3D animation and games. You'll see blacker blacks, whiter whites, and many more colors in between on a brilliant 17-inch, 1680-by-1050-pixel digital display. The new MacBook Pro graphics performance is up to 57% faster than the original Core Duo-based MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro is the ideal vehicle for viewing high-resolution Photoshop images or the latest HD Hollywood blockbusters. The optional 1920-by-1200 resolution on the 17-inch MacBook Pro offers a 30% increase in viewable area over the display. With more than half a million extra pixels at your disposal, you can view 1080 resolution HD video in all its glory-no need to resize the window to fit the screen.

The MacBook Pro offers an antiglare widescreen display that s perfect for color-minded professionals. For a more immersive viewing experience, you can configure the MacBook Pro display with a glossy finish. This gives everything you see a richer, more saturated feel.

When you connect an Apple Cinema Display to MacBook Pro, you lose nothing in translation. That s because the DVI connection gives you a pure digital signal from system to display. View more than 4 million pixels on the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. You get three options for using your display: dual-display mode, video mirroring, and lid-closed mode.

Roam If You Want To
Free yourself from the confines of a desk with the wireless technology built in to MacBook Pro. Collaborate with colleagues around the world from across the room using a Bluetooth headset and iChat AV over wireless Internet, or make last-minute changes to a presentation by sharing files over Bluetooth. Connect to your PDA or cell phone, sync addresses, download pictures, send



Apple iPod Video 80GB Black

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With an 80GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music — up to 20,000 songs, in fact.

Watch this space
How much can your pocket hold? That's up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 25,000 photos, and up to 100 hours of video — or any combination of each.(1) So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want, then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, 99 songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts. Go ahead. Fill 'er up.

Suit yourself
From cases to car kits, customize your iPod with accessories made especially for it. Pick up an iPod Universal Dock for more convenient syncing. Add an iPod Hi-Fi for room-filling sound. Sync photos on the go with an iPod Camera Connector. Attach a voice recorder to take audio notes.

Play all day
With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 20 hours. Or, if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to six-and-a-half hours.

Pack light
It might be a miracle. Otherwise, it's hard to explain exactly how an 80GB iPod can be the same size as the 60GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry your entire music collection — plus a nice selection of video — absolutely everywhere you go. And a 60% brighter, more vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph.

Search and enjoy
Finding what you want to hear among 20,000 songs could be quite a chore — unless you have an iPod. A new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it's continuous, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.

(1) Song capacity based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content. Photo capacity based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes. Video capacity based on H.264 1.5-Mbps video at 640-by-480 resolution combined with 128-Kbps audio; actual capacity varies by content.
