13-inch MacBook Pro/2.26GHz
In overhauling its laptop lineup in June 2009, Apple created a pair of 13-inch MacBook Pro models that not only sport the unibody enclosure introduced the previous fall but also adapt the 17-inch MacBook Pro's lithium-polymer battery. A FireWire port also returns. This model ships with 2GB of RAM (expandable to 8GB) and a 160GB hard drive.

With its lower price, the return of FireWire, longer battery life, better looking display and a new built-in SD Card slot that you can boot from, the newest member of the MacBook Pro makes an impressive debut.
Pros: Has FireWire 800 port; improved battery life; high quality display; bootable SD card slot; entry-level price tag.
Cons: No matte screen option; no video adapters or Apple Remote included; no CPU or 7,200 rpm upgrade options available.
