About this Mac

The Apple MacBook Pro MB470LL A 15- inch Core 2 Duo powered with a 2.4 GHz Intel processor (P8600) was released on October 14, 2008. Some of its distinguishing features include 250 GB (5400RPM) hard drive storage. It is also a host to one FireWire 800 port. The trackpad is also enhanced with support for “multi-touch gesturing” (two finger scroll, pinch, rotate, swipe, tap, double-tap, and drag). This is seen as the pinnacle of technology for the MacBook Pro and really allowed the MacBook Pro to stand out. Further device specifications and capabilities for the MacBook Pro can be found below.
