15-inch MacBook Pro/2.66GHz
Apple's June 2009 overhaul of its laptop line created a trio of 15-inch MacBook Pro models, each with a restored FireWire port and the lithium-polymer battery previously available only in the 17-inch MacBook Pro. This 15-inch configuration features a 2.66GHz processor, a 320GB hard drive, and two graphics chips-one integrated in the motherboard (GeForce 9400M) and the other discrete (GeForce 9600M GT).

With a faster processor speed and more RAM than its predecessor, this MacBook Pro model is an excellent choice if you're a switcher, a new buyer, or have one of Apple's older notebook models. Its graphics performance also makes this a good choice for gamers, unlike the 2.53GHz configuration.
Pros: Bootable SD card slot; improved battery life; higher quality display; lower price.
Cons: No ExpressCard slot; no matte screen option; no video adapters or Apple Remote included.
