About this Mac
The Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL A 15 inch Core 2 Duo powered with a 2.4 GHz Intel processor (T8300) was released on February 26, 2008. Some of its distinguishing highlights include a 200 GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive storage (It is also possible to configure the device with a 200 GB (5400RPM) hard drive storage or 250 GB (7200 RPM) hard drive storage). It is also a host to one FireWire 400 and one FireWire 800 at the same time. 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 from other devices.

Memory & Architecture
Applications also run smoothly due to the 3 MB of Level 2 cache plus an 800 MHz frontside bus with 2 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300). All of this is centered on a 64-Bit architecture.
