What CPU and Screen Res MacPro 13" has??

As stated above...i'm a PC user and is planning on buying...a Mac Pro book 13" for my neice...on apple.com they don't give me the detailed specs of the rig...in Model # CPU and Screen Res?....anyone pls help!

 

The cheapest 13" MBP uses the P7550 processor, the highest configuration has the P8700. Both utilizes 1280 x 800 screen resolution.

 

The screen is LED backlit and it actually quite a pleasure to work on.

 

I'm not so sure about this, mine has a P7550 (bought August, built in July). A friend of mine bought one a couple weeks ago (built in October), still had the P7550.

 

You will find most of the spec's under the main page, there is a tab there for Technical Specifications, then click the 13" model

The 2.53 HGz is the P8700 cpu, i am not sure on the lower model.

 

The lower end 13" MBP has a p7550. I just booted Win7 and ran CPUz.

I could have sworn it was supposed to be a p8400. FYI I bought mine in September brand new.

 

Well it seems that it will come either with a P7550 or the P8400 as described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro. Either way, the processors are pretty much identical in fact I think the P7550 is newer.

 

Don't wanna sound harsh, but when will people learn NOT to trust wikipedia? Even the citation for the P8400 is some random canadian BLOG that doesn't appear to have any significant amount of traffic?

 

Your earlier statement contradicts the newer one.

I had a Late 2009 13" MBP, and Windows 7 and CPU-z identifies the processor as a P7550.

The P8400 and the P7550 are nearly identical, but the P8400's edge over the P7550 is virtualization support.

 

I've never had to reason not to trust Wikipedia, it's always worked out great for me. I generally trust what others say, call it naive if you will.

Fixed.

 

I wouldn't trust a website that doesn't give you details specs on your machine. It means they are trying to hide something.

Might I recommend one of the Dell XPS 13 or a nice netbook (Dell or Toshiba I find are the best) for the young lass instead.

 

have you ever looked at the specs Apple gives? Don't trust them just because they didn't give a model number on the processor... and instead just the details about what it actually has?

thats a lot more useful information to most people than some model number they have to go look up and see a buncha details that don't really matter to them.

and yeah.. i can see why the OP wouldn't know the screen resolution either...

 

Have you even looked at the Apple website? All the specs are there, and they are not trying to "hide something".

Yeah, because Dell is always open and up front about their issues.

What issue? That is a way to extend battery life to new levels.

 

LOL! Unfortunately at the extreme cost of productivity!

 

That's one of the biggest reasons that I switched to Apple in the first place. They don't try to use (if they can avoid it) technical jargon that the most basic computer user can't understand.
