     Apple's late 2011 MacBook Pro refresh brings in minor change on the hardware front and comes loaded   with the latest version of  operating system -OS X Lion. There is no change in physical design or construction
which is a good thing.It still has an aluminium unibody casing in silver and a 13.3-inch LED IPS display .The
The display is a resolution of of 1280x800 pixels and it offers excellent colours,brightness and viewing angle
 Like earlier MacBook screens, even this one suffers from the issue of being highly reflective.If there is a light
 source behind you,you have no other option but to use the screen at a fairly high brightness level (which
 effects the battery).
    On the right side is the slot loading DVD drive while all other ports-two USB's Ethernet,FireWire, Thunder-
bolt,a card Reader,3.5mm/line in combo jack and a battery indicator-are on the left.Despite the smaller size,the
13-inch Pro still comes with a full size blacklit keyboard.The keyboard offers excellent feedback and is comfortable to use for long durations. The glass multi-touch trackpad is superb in response and as OS X Lion relies heavily on trackpad gesture, the large size of the  trackpad is an added benefit.
    The new Pro still uses a second generation Intel core i series processor with 4BG RAM and intel HD 3000 graphics(with 384MB shared memory). The only different from the previous generation is that the current i7 processor runs at 2.8Ghz instead  of 2.7Ghz and storage now is 750GB as opppsed to 500GB.
The 2.8Ghz  core i7 is the fastest dual core processor available and can go up to 3.5Ghz with Turbo Boost.
As impressive as that sounds on paper,with day-to0day usage,we did not notice any difference in performance between the two models -be it gaming or image/video editing.
     With normal usage,the MacBook Pro 13 stayed at about 45-degrees Celsius-normal for most notebooks .However,when we stressed the processor by converting HD videos and editing heavy RAM images files,temperature rose to 70 degree Celsius.The palmrest also gets a bit warm for comfortable use.
When When using with a notebook cooler,there was a drop of temperature of around 5 degree in both conditions. What really  is the speed at which the notebook cooled back down.Within 5 minutes,the temperature came down to 60 degrees and dropped down to normal 45-50 degree range.
      Audio output from the speaker is exceptionally loud for a 13.3 inch notebook with the maximum
 volume of good enough for a small room. The default Quick Time player is capable of working with selected formats only,however once VLC Media Player is installed,the machine offers a great video watching experience.
     The Pro gives us six and a half hours of Battery backup including browsing,multi-media playback and
image editing with 60% brightness and Wi-Fi connected - just short of the claimed 7 hours,but a pretty
good result nonetheless.
