About this MacBook Pro

Midway through 2010, Apple introduced a new MacBook Proline-up powered by Core 2 Duo (P8800) processors. Some of the main features include – two graphics processors built-in, the NVIDIA GeForce 320M (provides better graphics), and Intel HD Graphics (provides better battery life). The switch between the two processors is determined by the operating system depending on what applications are in use. A turbo boost for the processor speed is also supported on this system when there is a significant workload identified. It is a high quality device. Further specifications and capabilities for this MacBook Pro can be found below.

2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo

4 GB

320 GB HDD

10 Hours

Storage

The hard drive storage is 320 GB which was almost doubled from the previous year. This may seem small by today’s standards, but consideringthe base model MacBook Pro 2017 has only 256 GB SDD this is a fairly large storage.

Screen Size and Resolution

This version of the MacBook Pro comes in with a 13.3’ screen, but also a customizable display. The default display is the TFT active-matrix “glossy” display with 1280×800native resolution.

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

The MacBook Pro comes pre-installed with macOS X 10.6.3 (10D2125) and standard with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (P8800). It has an NVIDIA GeForce 320M GT graphics processor with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM.

Memory & Architecture

Applications also run smoothly due to the 3 MB of Level 2 cache plus a 1066 MHz frontside bus with 4 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) All of this is centered on a 64-Bit architecture.

Battery Life

The MacBook Pro comes with a 63.5 watt-hour lithium polymer battery that provides 10 hours of wireless use. This battery configuration is non-swappable which is commonly found in more recent models.

Upgradability

This MacBook Pro can be upgraded from 4 GB RAM up to 16 GB RAM. However, many individuals noted that more than 4 GB of RAM would be most beneficial. The operating system of the MacBook Pro can also be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS X 10.6.3 (10D2125) to up to MacOS X current. It can also be a host to Windows OS XP SP 2 (32-Bit) and accommodates operating systems as recent as the Windows 8.1 (64-Bit).This MacBook Pro comes with dimensions of 0.95 in x 12.78 in x 8.94 in and weighs 4.5 lbs (2.04 kg). Again, very similar to previous generations which is impressive considering the more advanced technology being packed into the same shell.

Common questions

Is MC375LL/A the same as A1278?

Not exactly. MC375LL/A usually points to a specific retail configuration, while A1278 identifies the broader Apple hardware family. Always check the EMC and model identifier too.

What MacBook Pro is model A1278?

A1278 is the Apple A-number shown for this MacBook Pro family. Use the order number, EMC, and model identifier on this page to narrow the exact configuration.

What does EMC 2351 mean?

The EMC number is another Apple hardware identifier. It helps separate closely related models that may share a similar name, year, or A-number.

Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?

Check the spec table for the exact configuration. Many newer Apple Silicon Macs have memory and storage integrated into the board, so RAM and SSD upgrades are often not practical after purchase.
