  • Features Intel and Apple’s “Thunderbolt” technology – connects cameras, camcorders to the computer instead of using USB ports.
  • USB and FireWire connections.
  • The computers come with Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 dual-core processors. Their speeds range from 2.0 to 2.7 gigahertz but can jump to 3.4 gigahertz, the company says. Apple claims these processors make the new MacBook Pro twice as fast at processing data and three times as fast at rendering images.
  • Have FaceTime – which is similar to Skype, allows users to video chat with people on mobile phones, and iPods, not just computer to computer.
