The MacBook Pro is a line of Macintosh portable computers by Apple Inc. for the professional and power user market. It makes up the high end of the MacBook family. First announced on January 10, 2006 at the Macworld Expo by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the MacBook Pro was immediately available for pre-sale at online Apple Stores worldwide, with deliveries beginning in mid-February 2006. The MacBook Pro was the successor to the 15-inch and 17-inch models of the PowerBook G4 series, and was the first Macintosh laptop to be powered by the Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors.
Alongside the iMac Core Duo, the MacBook Pro represents Apple's first computers to feature Intel processors instead of PowerPC processors, a transition that completed on August 7th, 2006. Since the introduction of the MacBook Pro, other lines have followed, including the introduction of the Intel Core powered Mac mini on 28 February 2006, the MacBook consumer line of laptop computers on May 16, 2006, the Mac Pro on August 7, 2006, and the Xserve in November 2006, completing the Macintosh family transition to Intel processors.
The MacBook Pro is currently available in different sizes with differently-sized screens: a 15-inch model, with a 15.4-inch (diagonal) screen, first introduced on January 10, 2006 and last revised on February 26, 2008, and a 17-inch model, with a 17-inch (diagonal) screen, first introduced on April 24, 2006 and also last revised on February 26, 2008.
