Key Features
Intel Core i5 Dual-Core Processing
The MacBook Pro packs plenty of power thanks to the latest Intel Core  i5 processor, which features a faster processor, more powerful  graphics, and a memory controller integrated into a single chip. The  third-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 has a 2.5 GHz speed, which can  dynamically accelerate up to 3.1 GHz to match your workload thanks to  updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
And with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor, you get up to 60 percent faster graphics. So the video you watch, the FaceTime calls you make, and pretty much everything else you do is smoother and more detailed.
High-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3 Ports
A high-speed Thunderbolt port allows the MacBook Pro to transfer data at  lightning-fast speeds and connect displays like the Apple Thunderbolt  Display, enabling you to turn this highly portable notebook into a  highly versatile workstation. And with two USB 3 ports, you'll be able  to connect the latest USB 3 devices and access a pipeline that's up to  10 times faster than USB 2.
Because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, you'll be  able to connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. Any  Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you  can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA  connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to include  your display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.
Integrated HD FaceTime Webcam
You'll  be able to easily connect with friends, family, and business colleagues  using the MacBook Pro's HD 720p FaceTime camera, which is integrated  into the thin bezel above the display and features three times the  resolution of the previous FaceTime camera. And with Apple's FaceTime  application, you're not limited to video chats with other Macs--you can  now make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch users.
Buttonless Multi-Touch Trackpad
With  no button on the glass trackpad, there's more room to track and  click--left, right, center, and everywhere in between. Without a  separate button, the trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on  the large, silky glass surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch  gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger swipe. And it  also now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through  large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites.
