With the recommended retail price (RRP) of 249 Euro, Apple Care comes a bit cheaper here than with the 15" and 17" models (349 Euro)-still not exactly a bargain. There's always the option of opting into the extended warranty called Apple Care Protection Plan (ACPP), which extends over-the-phone support to a total of 36 months from the purchase date. The MacBook Pro comes with a short 12-month warranty including 90 days of over-the-phone technical support. The laptop comes with the Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard operating system pre-installed. Furthermore, there's also an infrared receiving for use with the AppleRemote (unidirectional).īesides the laptop itself, the variety of accessories remains minimal, including a power supply and cable, a user manual called "Everything Mac", additional instructions called "Everything Else", two software DVDs, stickers and a cleaning cloth. Additionally, Apple has put in place a dedicated Bluetooth 3.0 chip (most likely the BCM2070 according to iFixit), but Apple is still advertising it only as the 2.1+EDR version. The Broadcom BCM4331 wifi card now uses 3 antennae, helping it achieve a slightly longer range and slightly higher transfer rates. A small alteration is to be found within the case concerning the wireless internet connection.
