**MacBook Pro**

**What is it?**
The company Apple released a series of Macintosh laptops in January 2006 to replace the last of the PowerBook series of laptops. The product was the first of the MacBook family, MacBook Pro. The MacBook series has three models: The standard MacBook, a consumer model that was recently discontinued, the MacBook Pro, a more business oriented form, and the MacBook Air, a small and lighter version for easier carrying. However, the Pro has many factors that stand out above the other two.

**MacBook Pro Advantages**
The great features of the MacBook Pro are mostly physical ones. This includes hardware and the actual laptop body. The Pro features more RAM than a standard Mac, faster processors clocked at higher speeds, better graphics cards installed, increased built-in hard disk space, and better resolution built into the screen. The main advantages of a Pro are more processing power, better graphics, more physical memory, and faster operation. It even sports a backlight keyboard for when its hard to type in the dark, a built in HD FaceTime web camera, and a FireWire 800 port!

**MacBook Pro Vs. PC**
Over the past twenty years, the MacBook is not the only competitive CPU out there making upgrades. When determing which CPU is going to be the right one for the job, one of the first considerations is Mac or PC? PC's have made jaw-dropping advancements when it comes to multitasking and visual software through means of massive amounts of memory, extensive lines of code and massive graphics cards. However due to the additions that allow the PC to perform optimally under the most extreme circumstances, its ability to do the most mundane tasks in some cases has suffered. As demonstrated on [|Hallicino Mac Vs. PC] when comparing a old Mac to the most modern PC the performed almost virtually the same, with the Mac performing better on processes like word and excel. Which is to say that while PC's may be the most powerful system on the market today it truly matters what task you need the CPU for.
