Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Adds SD card slot and reacquires FireWire
  • Lower starting price
  • Same solid unibody construction and giant multi-touch trackpad
The bad:
  • Non-removable battery
  • No matte screen or discrete graphics options
The bottomline:

Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

Editors’ rating:

8.6/10

RRP: AU$2399.00
