Apple is displaying their new MacBook Pro at Macworld, a much faster laptop than the previous iMac, powered by Intel’s Core Duo technology. Other than running at speed twice as fast as the previous iMac, the MacBook Pro also comes with lovely features such as a backlit keyboard with ambient light sensors for automatic adjustment of keyboard illumination and screen brightness; the new power adapter with MagSafe connector, which is designed to magnetically guide your cord into place and disconnect smoothly if someone (else) trips over it; the scrolling trackpad for precise cursor control, which supports two finger scrolling, tap, double-tap, and drag capabilities; the cool Front Row feature; as well as an iSight camera which can be found on the previous iMac.
