Apple 發佈新一代 MacBook Pro
Apple 14 日正佈發佈全新設計的 MacBook Pro 行動電腦,採用與 MacBook Air 的一體化機身外殼,能有效減少用料之餘,結構亦更完整,屏幕亦改用最新的背光技術屏幕,令產品更為纖薄,產品體積為 241 x 364 x 249mm ,重量為 2.45kg ,定價 HKD$15,400 起,由今日開始於 Apple Store 接受預定。
全新 MacBook Pro 在全新合鋁一體式機身製成,以往行動電腦需採用許多零件組合成一個機身;在加上所有的必要的組件之後,也等於是累積了重量、體積、複雜度、以及更多發生故障的機率, Apple 為了解決這個問題,全新 MacBook Pro 採用了「一體式機身」設計,機身僅採用一整塊鋁合金,切削出完全沒有接縫的結構。
此外,全新 MacBook Pro 採用了沒有按鈕 Multi-Touch 多重觸控軌跡板設計,因為它本身就是按鈕。沒有按鈕,代表著有更多用來移動鼠標、或是上下左右點按的空間,而且還可以再減少一個組件。蘋果設計師和工程師們花費無數時間,考量像是觸控敏感度 (eg., 多大的壓力啟動點按效果 ?) 、聲音回應 ( 點按的聲音聽起來應該如何 ?) 、以及平滑玻璃表面該有多少摩擦力 ( 觸感會變得如何 ?) 等因素,讓 MacBook Pro 成為有史以來最大、最聰明、設計也最人性的觸控軌跡板。
值得注意的是,全新 MacBook Pro 採用了全新 NVIDIA MCP79 晶片組並可支援 Hybrid SLI 技術,內建了兩組繪圖核心,分別內建整合式 GeForce 9400M 及獨立晶片組 9600M GT ,效能比 Intel 的繪圖晶片快達 5 倍,這樣的設計可讓用家處理不同的工作需要,達至省電效果,在一般情況下,電腦會採用 9400M ,電池續航力約為 5 小時,而全速採用 9600M GT 的情況下,電池續航力約為 4 小時。
