Adds SD card slot and reacquires FireWire ; lower starting price ; same solid unibody construction and giant multitouch trackpad
Nonremovable battery ; no matte screen or discrete graphics options
Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminum unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

Apple MacBook Pro Summer 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 15-inch)

Price cut from previous version ; new SD card slot ; keeps the same solid unibody construction and oversize trackpad
Loses the ExpressCard slot ; switching GPUs not as seamless as it should be
Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.

Nice Unibody Aluminium Glass construct with a great touchpad and a great keyboard. The performance is stellar and mine runs at 2.6Ghz with 4GB Ram a worthwhile upgrade
Display could be brighter and I wish the Apple logo on the backside could be dimmed a bit. It is heavier than I expected and I wish the power-supply would yet be smaller and lighter
