Apple MacBook Pro with ThunderBolt™ technology
The MacBook Pro and i7 models have arrived. These new units offer faster processing of RAW files and faster rendering of 3D objects and video. They also offer a 1680 x 1050 high-resolution antiglare display (our recommendation). Also if you are really looking for for added performance in PhotoShop or Capture One, upgrade to 8GB of RAM and add a solid state hard drive up to 512GB – it will also make your machine start-up in record time!
