Macbook Pro 22 Ghz Intel Core I7 Review

Long-term feel: After having reviewed the powerful version of the MacBook Pro with a Santa Rosa interior, the smaller two.2 GHz version now undergoes our endurance test. We intend to report about the first results of the endurance test of the Alu-Notebook equally well equally the Mac OS X x.4.

Apart from the prices, in that location is piddling difference between the two xv inch MacBook Pro with regard to the equipment options; 120 GB to 160GB hard disk drive infinite, two.ii to 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and 128MB to 256MB graphic card retentiveness of the nVidia GeForce Go 8600 GT. The price differences are mainly due to the meaning price differences of the CPUs. The graphic card retentiveness of the "small book" was probably intentionally reduced in society to win more customers for the ii.4GHz version. At the time of writing this article prices were as followed: 1899 Euros for the "slow book" and 2399 Euros for the "fast book". In addition to this, there are extra costs of 439 Euros for a guarantee prolongation to three years (this is highly recommended for a working device since the cost of repairing laptops after a year is probable to surmount its bodily selling value.). Apple is definitely acting a bit off the top regarding this exorbitant price whereas Dell offers an upgrade from i to iii years of for case the Vostro 1500 for only 159 Euros. Dell even provides on-site service that Apple does non include (!).

Nosotros purchased our MacBook in the notebook shop www.notebook.de, which was unable to deliver it on time due to bottlenecks in Apple's delivery. Therefore nosotros received the examination model a few weeks afterward than expected. By the way, Apple's 2.4GHz version was bachelor earlier. Was this maybe on purpose?

The unpacking of the Apple product is a pure delight – as usual.

The entire packing was created and styled by designers and is thus, from an visual betoken of view, aesthetically very appealing.

Apple MacBook Pro

Fabrication

Even after several weeks of testing under our editorial role weather condition, the MacBook Pro does not give in. There are not whatsoever evidences of creaking or torsions thanks to the massive aluminium chassis. The notebook does non yield on any expanse where pressure level is put on and delivers an impression of a high-quality instance. You will most probable take hold of yourself stroking subconsciously the perforated areas next to the keyboard.

The mutual weakness of inexpensive notebooks is the stability of the keyboard, which does not leave any area for business organisation regarding the MacBook Pro. Information technology is installed very fixed and does not give in under pressure.

Unordinary and also partly uncomfortable would exist the lack of a status LED of the hd bulldoze. Due to the fact that our hd in the test model was (fortunately) very repose, nosotros can watch its activity only on Mac OS X'due south notice board. There is an pulsing (blinks in the same frequency of a man'south respiration rhythm) status LED attached on the unlocking key that turn on when the MacBook is utilised and when going to standby way (LED is constantly on until the device turned off completely). Even when the display darkens due to free energy saving purpose, the LED shines indicating the operating country.

The Apple MacBook Pro presents a simple but very elegant design; rectangular forms – with rounded corners – dominate the layout. Apple uses aluminium as surface covers and edges are protected past constructed materials. However, the forepart edge still crusade inconveniences when typing. The central design element is the engulfed display articulation, which allows flapping the display to the back making an overall robust impression. Unfortunately the brandish is express in the opening angle due to this type of display fixture, which volition be annoying particularly when working with the MacBook on the lap causing a highly uncomfortable body position.

However, the finishing does not come up forth without any negative aspects. Our Apple notebook showed a very mildly warped subsonic that resulted in wobbling of the device on fifty-fifty ground. But this problem could be solved by little transmission swerve. We take heard of far worse scenarios of warped subsonics in which our readers did some extreme swerve actions, which happened owing to a drop of a Powerbook on the floor). The interior is not flexible and therefore users need to accept expert care of information technology when angle the laptop. Besides this there is a pregnant space between the display and the subsonic. This is mainly due to the lacy centred interlocking, which is a bit tricky to use but looks proficient though.

The MagSafe electricity plug (a cable that is attached to the laptop through a magnet and prevents the laptop from moving in case someone trips over the cable), which was introduced with the MacBook serial is past all means a useful characteristic simply on the downside of it nosotros could take it accidently out hands. Furthermore the white power supple (that has very useful flaps for winding up the cable) unit is very vulnerable to scratches. This is owing to the very shiny plastic surface

Apple MacBook Pro interfaces

With regard to the interfaces, Apple seemed to be quite ungenerous that is fairly disappointing when looking at the price nosotros paid. Specially the two USB ports are assigned very rapidly that can be solved past using a USB hub. The lack of an S-Video output (an adapter for the DVI-D port is available for nineteen Euros) and Modem output (55 Euros extra for a USB modem) is very surprising and still disappointing in this toll category. Another drawback of the MacBook is the 34mm thin Express Card slot.

The DVI-D output that is capable of Dual Link for big LCD screens sticks (also available in the slower version) out positively. An adapter of an analogue VGA is included. This analogue output delivers a proficient quality prototype (nosotros examined this on a Dell 24" TFT in 1920x1200px). In add-on to a FireWire 400 port, yous volition get a FireWire port as well for which there are currently a limited number of devices bachelor. The Gigabit LAN is not able reach its potential fully either. Yet, the wireless devices brand a very positive impression: The MacBook offers both a WLAN 802.11 b/m/n (Draft-n) and Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR (Enhanced Information Rate).

Tastatur Apple MacBook Pro

Apple'south MacBook Pro presents a keyboard with pleasingly large keys although the Enter bar stands in constrast to the other keys; it is tiny and sits also far on the correct. This is the reason for involuntarily pressing the sharp "#" primal when writing quickly by using all fingers.

The layout needs getting used to, which will be primarily Windows (and Linux) users. The missing correct "Alt" key and the lack of lettering of the [ ] / { } brackets will lead to frequent operating errors. Terminal but not least the lack of "Del", "Home" and "Terminate" is likely to cause nuisance.

The stroke of each individual key tin be described as soft, slightly heavy with a noticeable force per unit area point. Our model had a production defect. The keys operated merely when pressing them directly on the centre; when nosotros pressed a key on its corner, no indicate was sent to the MacBook. So the notebook occasionally ignored some messages, which is worsened when using it on the lap. In order to solve this problem we needed to contact the Apple tree back up starting time. Then we were told to go to a local Apple partner for the repair, where the defect keyboard was replaced safe and audio. The replacement required a full disassembly of the entire notebook that can be seen on the photo gallery on the right column.

The reaction time of all keys was noticeable improved although there were still cases when the keys did not react equally we wished when stroking on the edges. However, this phenomenon tin can be seen on well-nigh notebook keyboards.

Quite positive was the keyboard illumination that will do good the user in combination with the brightness sensor when working in accented Darkness (I should avert working in darkness since this can harm the eyes).

The often discussed varying spaces between each key could be seen on your model simply it does not affect the everyday tipper in a negative fashion.

The big touchpad in 16:10 format (called "Trackpad" past Apple) presents a very precise (especially when using Mac OS X) and smooth surface that helps the fingers to glide on the pad without any resistance. A scrollbar does not visually exist on the touchpad but Apple tree found its own solution by using 2 fingers replacing the scrollbar; one keeps pressing and the other 1 glides up or downwardly, which works in practice simply like a scrollbar. It needs to exist mentioned that this function does not piece of work as fine under Windows every bit under Mac Os X.  Furthermore, the only touchpad push is striking out, but in a negative mode: the push operated well (by producing a loud clicking racket) but non even Windows users will miss a 2d button for the secondary click. This can exist achieved by using two fingers on the touchpad and a click on the push button (works with a brusk double click on the pad, too). However, this works fine merely non Mac users will need to get used to it.

Hot keys are nowhere to be constitute in the MacBook, in detail a hardware WLAN switch would be desirable. Apple includes a white remote control to recoup this lack though.

Apple MacBook Pro
Representation in bright environment

The xv.4" wide screen has a pleasing resolution of 1440x900 pixels, has a sufficient brightness of 390cd/yard² and thus can be used for outdoor purpose (although we would like to have a brighter display at direct sunlight). Our MacBook was equipped with a non-reflecting dim panel that is optimal for long term utilise. Thanks to the durable LED background lightning, the overall brightness patently does non fall significantly afterward a few years. Moreover, the brightness of the console fits immediately later existence turned on. The battery as well benefits from the LED lightning fifty-fifty though only marginally.

A dainty just practically useless and even bothersome feature is the brightness sensors that intent to adjust the brightness of the brandish also as the keyboard lightning by metering the surrounding luminance level. Unfortunately there will be situations when for example the TV runs in a dim room, which will result in a constant flaring due to the varying refresh charge per unit. Luckily this feature can be easily disabled in the system configuration.

The display presented a rather bluish colour tone when used without whatsoever color adjustments (the crimson colour curve was lifted, the blueish ane was lowered), which was the reason for a slightly cool appearance.

There was a rather yellowish standard calibration agile under Mac OS X (that pleased us visually a lot) whereas in that location was a clear outshining to be seen under a Windows operating organisation.

Afterwards three months of use, three brilliant spots appeared on the display. These areas that had a diameter of almost 2mm seemed as if the background lightning was partly too bright. This is probable going to exist a case for the Apple guarantee - again.

The functioning of the "slower" version was in particular interesting in comparison to the "fast" one equipped with the most powerful processor unit, twice as much graphic card retentivity and bigger hard disk. The "slower" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz was surprisingly faster than the expensive ane (especially under Mac Bone X) in lots of categories. Either Apple tree has improved the drivers of both operating systems of the "slower" laptop or we simply had a defect laptop in our test.

Back to our endurance test; the performance results were expert, very skilful as to be expected from the installed hardware. Only the 128MB small graphic menu retentivity pulled upwards partly some of the very new games resp. in high resolutions was a breakdown of the frame charge per unit to exist noticed. Nevertheless, the performance is very impressive thanks to the GDDR3 memory.

Since the Fujitsu hard disk does not belong to the high-speed HDD category, the mildly lower PCMark results (in comparison to the Asus G1s) could be excused. However, the overall functioning is absolutely sufficient for all sorts of applications. In both operating systems – whether Mac OS Ten or Windows XP – all programmes responded chop-chop and without any leaks.

Additional Performance Results

Historic period of Empires iii ran with the native resolution of 1440x900px in Windows at about xv to 30fps (light slowdowns). All the same the bad performance was due to the great number of CPU players.

The game World of Conflict was playable on Windows using medium quality settings (1024x768px XGA).

Loudness

The endurance test made obvious that the loudness of the MacBook Pro (every bit already noticed in the test of the 2.4GHz model) is pleasingly low. In that location are only the 2 fans mildly noticeable in idle style that are located below the keyboard (which turn with about 2000rmp). The 32dB recorded make the MacBook usable for tranquility locations such as libraries. Also the installed Fujitsu MHW2120BH 120GB hard disk drive contributes to the silence of the laptop; information technology tin be rarely noticed in idle mode.

Only when enervating the MacBook full performance, the two fans run at 42dB (Windows turns the fans on earlier than Mac OS X). Although the overall racket level is dominated by higher frequencies, this still remains acceptable cheers to the relatively express noise produced. Still, silent places ought to be avoided when the MacBook runs on its highest performance level.

It gets really loud when installing software as the integrated DVD author created noise levels upwards to 47dB. Fortunately the drive is slowed downwards in reading mode.

Temperature

The flat case, the conservative fans and the high-performance hardware components result in high temperatures. The aluminium body can reach temperatures upwardly to 46°C on the MacBook's lesser side that tin can be very uncomfortable when operating with it on the womb. The cardinal upper side and especially where the ball of the thumb rests bear witness temperatures of 35°C, which does not vary noticeably when working on medium operation. So this attribute does not really crusade any significant concern.

The white and non-scratch resistant power supply unit reached temperatures of 49°C and therefore you should not get into straight contact with it.

Audio

The sound of both small loudspeakers can be described as articulate and precise all the same with no existent bass. The maximum audio level is sufficient for occasional use. The integrated optic-digital sound inputs and outputs enable the lossless connection with external devices. Furthermore, the audio quality of counterpart headsets was fine without any noise or neat.

The 60Wh Lithium-Polymer battery enables the MacBook Pro to attain good results in the test. In practical utilize the bombardment is capable to run for 3.5 hours using WLAN in Mac OS Ten. The battery runtime is only one 60 minutes when operating on the highest performance modes where both the 2 CPU cores and the GPU are used upward to their very capacity limits.

The bombardment could exist fully recharged within two hours causing ver picayune CPU load in Mac OS X in the first week.

One highlight of the Apple tree MacBook Pro laptops is the included Mac OS Ten operating system, which is not compatible in terms of programmes with Microsoft's Windows due to its UNIX cadre. But on the other hand most Linux applications are uniform to Mac Bone X (eastward.thousand. via MacPort). Some other upside of this system is the non-existence of the abrasive registry à la Windows.

In order to use Windows programmes ane is given 2 possibilities. Since the MacBook is equipped with Intel components information technology is fully compatible to Windows. Y'all can install an additional Windows XP or Vista onto your notebook through the Apple software called Boot Camp (currently as Beta); drivers are supplied as well in this programme (see our short description in the first MacBook review).

Our first effort to installing Boot Camp failed and the following mistake message was displayed:

" The hard disk cannot be partitioned since certain files are unable to be moved. "

It seems the 27GB bachelor were insufficient for a 10GB partitioning to move all files. Subsequently creating more hard disk space under Mac OS X and a restart of the organization the try to create a division succeeded. The installation of Windows passed without issues (the Kick Camp tool was difficult to notice in "utilities" though). Also this the installation of the CD created went automatically without any problems (some Windows laptops ought to crib from this).

The second possibility is to run a Windows system simultaneously via Parallels Desktop. This solution has the reward that normal windows can be used in the aforementioned way as in Mac Os X, which really works fine despite the long booting fourth dimension for Windows in Parallels Desktops. The only real disadvantage of this solution is that it is not recommended for gaming although old games like Quake 3 Loonshit ran nicely with 49fps.

The installation of this visualisation program was easy as usual with Bundle Manager. Our Kicking Camp was recognised immediately and could be started in Mac Os Ten. But the mouse stopped working subsequently the short automatic installation of the Parallels Desktop tool in Windows XP i.e. the mouse could non be moved by neither the touchpad nor the external mouse. A restart solved this problem in the end.

Useful – Parallels Desktop mounted when started all partitions available in Windows (even USB and NTFS) in Mac OS X every bit well. This has the reward that files that are formatted on NTFS can be copied on USB devices (Mac Bone 10 is normally just capable of reading the Windows standard file system NTFS).

There are sure inconveniences arising for those switching from Windows PC to Mac Os Ten.

Peculiarly confusing is the fact that the "Apple" key is exactly where the Windows "Alt" would be. Instead of typing an "@" users would close the running application since Apple + Q is the command for closing programmes.

In add-on to this, the Pos1 and Finish keys are unlike equally in Windows or Linux resulting to the line's beginning / finish, information technology will movement the cursor to the document's outset / end. This can cause real anger when working with long text documents. However, this trouble can be solved past using the tools keyfixer and keyfixer firefox at least for the near important applications (e.thou. in Eclipse users need to change the options manually to solve the problem).

Likewise, the control of the Mac windows is quite tricky at the beginning. For case the size of the windows can simply be changed by moving the correct corner on the bottom of a window. Furthermore, there are occasionally no ways of getting full screens of certain applications as the greenish (+) in Mac Bone 10 enlarges only to the optimum size. There is also the lack of switching between applications in Mac that many Windows users volition miss (despite the excellent Exposé). The tool "Witch" helped us to deal with this problem and besides changed the "Apple" central to the Windows "Alt". So when pressing Apple + Tab, we were able to switch between our running applications.

Another useful tool is "Hide" that helps to alter the standby way of the MacBook Pro (standby, hide or standby + hide). The hibernation mode did not work at the start (the laptop awoke but demanded a restart of the organization). But the tool "MacFuse" (used to e.g. draw NTFS in the finder) was the crusade of this malfunction. After the uninstalling of MacFuse the problem did not occur any longer.

However, "Quicksilver" needs to be mentioned, which is a powerful tool that opens up all sorts of programmes (merely press Ctrl+Infinite).

Following negative aspects arose during the endurance test using Mac Os 10.4:

  • Mac OS X can only read NTFS file systems, which is quite abrasive when exchanging files via Boot Camp. Parallels Desktop solves this problem at the expense of the low gaming operation in Windows.

  • Even server connections need to be done by third party applications (e.thou. Fugu or Cyberduck – our preferred tool) that almost Linux distributions tin handle automatically.

  • The uninstalling of Mac Os Ten applications that were put on via "Installer" also requires third party tools to de deleted without whatsoever residua in the system (east.g. OSXPM – OSX Packet Manager). The uninstalling procedure is quite easy past drag & drop wait with programmes that were installed by "Installer".

  • The WLAN connection (witha Netgear 802.11b router and WAP encryption) takes longer than in Windows XP / Vista.

Our result is that after having gotten used to Mac Bone X, we did not really miss Windows. The design, the impressive UNIX core and the consequent only useful drag & drop office make this product very appealing. Since you lot do not use the so chosen "standard operating system" Windows whatever longer, there will be some difficulties occurring with peripheral devices. In the test even a Microsoft Comfort Curved keyboard worked very well with the MacBook Pro; Mac Bone X driver for hot keys are likewise available. On the downside there were non any drivers suitable for the Logitech G5 gaming mouse. In this case shareware drivers such as "USB Overdrive" we required in gild to make use of resp. to configure the other keys (the mouse worked well even without whatever drivers).

Even subsequently the endurance exam the overall impression of the MacBook to exist a quality product with an excellent design and a very good finishing were maintained. Particularly the small details (MagSafe, remote command, etc.) are very delighting.

The number of interfaces was limited though due to the flat example. The two USB inputs are definitely not sufficient, thus making the lack of a docking station very painful and disappointing.

The keyboard is (for Windows users in particular) the greatest weakness of this laptop. The response characteristics are non optimal and the layout (since based for Mac users) requires quite a lot of time to getting used to. In addition to this, on the one hand the lack of the second track pad central is a bit disturbing while one the other paw the two finger ringlet system is quite prissy.

The weaker fifteen.4" MacBook Pro with 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo is noticeable slower in new games than the faster i attributable to the 128MB graphic retention (faster MacBook uses 256MB). All the same, the gaming operation is high enough (thanks to the fast processor and GDDR3 graphic memory) for most electric current games. All the same you need to weigh upwardly on your own whether it would be worth spending more than on the faster laptop. An interesting fact is though that the weaker MacBook attained improve results in the benchmarks than the expensive 2.4GHz model. This surprising consequence might be traced back by either defect hardware of the 2.4GHz 1 or bug with drivers that reduced the benchmark performance.

A very pregnant incentive for ownership is the fifteen.4 inch wide screen with LED background lightning, which is even suitable for intensive outdoor utilise while requiring less energy than similar screens. He viewing angle is alright although the adequately limited vertical indination of the hinges can cause some disappointment. This tin can lead to partly apartment colours when being used on the womb.

Very surprising is the low dissonance emission of the apartment notebook despite the high-performance hardware. The fans tin just be noticed under load and nevertheless are not unpleasantly loud. The downside of this is the very high temperature on the bottom side of the MacBook. Again this tin cause bug on the lap.

The outstanding features of this device actually is the included version of Mac OS Ten. Windows users are well-nigh likely struggle with the keyboard layout as well equally the windows functions at the outset. Simply with the help of some utilities (meet above) that can be gathered fairly quickly, even Windows users will soon capeesh the adequately simple merely functional pattern of the MacBook Pro'due south operating system.

All in all the sum of highlights and features are convincing. In that location are only a few competitive notebooks in this category that tin keep upward with the MacBook in terms of performance and mobility. The only real rival is the Lenovo Thinkpad T61p, which is not available in a inexpensive version (with a fast GPU). The fourteen" Zepto Znote 6324W might be taken into consideration as a substitute that is equipped with a GeForce Go 8600M TG graphics card.
