Internally, however, it has a substantially different architecture with a faster 'Core i5' processor and faster graphics as well, although it shares the same memory.

This model uses a 'Unibody' aluminum case design - milled from a single piece of aluminum - and has a backlit keyboard, a new 'no button' glass 'inertial' multi-touch trackpad, and a non-swappable battery design that provides up to 8-9 hours of battery life.Ĭompared to its predecessor, this model has a very similar external enclosure, but an enhanced trackpad, and the same connectivity, except for the enhanced audio passing Mini DisplayPort. The standard configuration of this model has an LED-backlit 15.4' widescreen TFT active-matrix 'glossy' display (1440x900 native resolution), but it also is available via custom configuration with a 'high-resolution glossy' 1680x1050 display and a 'high-resolution antiglare' 1680x1050 display for an additional US$100 and US$150, respectively.Ĭonnectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire '800' port, two USB 2.0 ports, optical digital/analog audio in/out, a 'Mini DisplayPort' that supports an external display at 2560x1600 (it also passes an audio signal), and an SD card slot. This system also supports 'Turbo Boost' - which 'automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload' up to 3.06 GHz for this model - and 'Hyper Threading' - which allows the system to recognize four 'virtual cores' or 'threads.'īy default, it is configured with 4 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) installed in pairs (two 2 GB modules), a 500 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive, an 8X DL 'SuperDrive', and dual graphics processors - a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR3 memory and Intel HD Graphics with 256 MB of RAM shared with the system - that Mac OS X automatically switches between for better graphics performance and better battery life, respectively, depending on application use. The MacBook Pro 'Core i5' 2.53 15-Inch (Mid-2010) is powered by a 32 nm, dual-core 2.53 GHz Intel 'Core i5' I5-540M (Arrandale) processor, with dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and an 3 MB shared level 3 cache.
