Apple MacBook Pro 2011, Core i5 8GB RAM 500GB 13″ Refurbished

Apple MacBook Pro 2011, Core i5 8GB RAM 500GB 13″ Refurbished. The MacBook Pro “Core i5” 2.0 15-Inch (Early 2011/Thunderbolt) features a 32 nm “Sandy Bridge” 2.0 GHz. Intel “Core i5” processor (2635QM), with four independent processor “cores” on a single silicon chip. 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM  installed in pairs (two 2 GB modules). 500 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive, an 8X DL “SuperDrive”. Dual graphics processors — an AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256 MB of dedicated GDDR5 memory. An Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor that shares 384 MB of memory with the system.

The standard configuration of this model has an LED-backlit 15.4″ widescreen TFT active-matrix “glossy” display (1440×900 native resolution), but it also was available via custom configuration with a “high-resolution glossy” 1680×1050 display and a “high-resolution antiglare” 1680×1050 display for an additional US$100 and US$150, respectively.

Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire “800” port, two USB 2.0 ports, separate audio in and out ports, an SDXC card slot, and a new “Thunderbolt” port that is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort and, likewise, supports an external display at 2560×1600 and passes an audio signal. Thunderbolt also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.

This model uses a “Unibody” aluminum case design — milled from a single piece of aluminum — and has a backlit keyboard, a “no button” glass “inertial” multi-touch trackpad, and a non-swappable battery design that provides an Apple estimated 7 hours of battery life.

Compared to its predecessor, Apple MacBook Pro 2011 has a very similar external enclosure, apart from a higher-resolution webcam and the aforementioned Thunderbolt port. Internally, however, it has a significantly faster architecture, faster RAM, and improved graphics.
