Apple beefed up its 13-inch notebook with a discrete Nvidia GeForce 9400M GPU, meaning this graphics performance beats out most other notebooks in its class—by a lot. The MacBook Pro is made from a solid piece of aluminum, achieving a sleek and uniform look, especially when you factor in its edge-to-edge glass display (which offers a wider color gamut than most notebooks). This work of art also offers impressive endurance, lasting longer than 6 hours on our tests. Lest you forget, the 13-inch MacBook Pro also features a spacious multitouch-enabled touchpad, and Apple’s superior Snow Leopard operating system.
