Photo Booth, Mac OS X' fun webcam program, allowed us to record video clips of ourselves, snap photos using a variety of filters (such as Sepia, Thermal Camera, and X-Ray), and even fire off four quick photos in succession like a traditional photo booth. It captured a good amount of detail and delivered near-lifelike colors, but friends reported some motion blur when we engaged in Meebo video chats. Conspicuous in its absence: an ExpressCard slot, found on the previous 15-inch MacBook Pro, but replaced by an SD Card slot that accepts all manner of SD Cards, from mini to SDHC (with the correct adapter).Ībove the display, a VGA iSight webcam is embedded in the bezel. Built into the left side are two closely placed USB 2.0 ports, Mini DisplayPort, a FireWire 800 port, the MagSafe power port, and headphone and mic jacks. On the right side of the system, you'll find the 8X SuperDrive and Kensington lock slot.
When we streamed Lyn Collins' "Think" from Slacker, we enjoyed loud and clear audio, although funk classic lacked a robust bottom end. Its attractive black bezel border easily picks up fingerprints and smudges, but that's nothing a cloth can't remedy.įlanking the keyboard are a pair of speakers that deliver solid (if unspectacular) sound. Our only gripe with the display is that it kicks back too much reflection, especially when viewing content that has a dark background, or if you're anywhere but directly in front of it. The panel offers a 60 percent greater color gamut than its predecessor, and it really brought out skin tones and made other details pop while watching episodes of 30 Rock on Hulu or when we popped a DVD of There Will be Blood into the optical drive. Once again, Apple wows with a gorgeous edge-to-edge, glass 15.4-inch LED display (with a 1440 x 900-pixel resolution).
