Following readers' requests, we publish some official and exclusive technical details related to the MacBook Pro:
- The 13.3" LED-backlighted display feature 1280x800 pixels. The graphical chipset is the same as in current MacBook, the GMAX3100, with up to 144MB of RAM taken from the central memory. However we do not know if the chipset frequency is the same as in the MacBook.
- The 2GB of RAM are soldered to the motherboard
- One can not remove the battery (but when disassembling the MacBook Air, one will probably be able to install a new one, still has to be confirmed)
- For the moment, one can not use the MacBook Air in Target mode to transfer data, application or simply a cloned HD when changing notebook hardware.
- The maximal thickness of the SSD or 1.8" HD accepted in the MacBook Air is 5mm. This is the smallest format currently available. Current 1.8"HD with this format are based on a single plate, so they currently top at 80GB and should not be able to increase so much in the future.
All those "negative" points for releasing an extremely thin and light notebook, that’s the price for such an elegant and powerful notebook.
