MacBook Pro 2.4GHz
- Memory
- Learn more
More memory (RAM) increases overall performance and enables your computer to run more applications at the same time. The 15-inch MacBook Pro supports up to 4 gigabytes of RAM.
- The more memory your computer has, the more programs you can run simultaneously, and the better performance you get from your computer. Increasing the amount of memory in your MacBook Pro is an easy way to improve performance.
How much memory is right for you?- Choose the standard 2GB of memory to support day-to-day tasks such as email, word processing, and web browsing as well as more complex tasks such as editing photos, creating illustrations, and building complex presentations.
- Max out your MacBook Pro with the 4GB option to enjoy the greatest possible performance for all your computing tasks.
- Hard Drive
- Learn more
Your MacBook Pro comes standard with a 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive. Choose a hard drive with a faster speed for greater performance. Or you can choose a solid-state drive that offers greater durability.
The larger the capacity (in gigabytes, or GB) of your hard drive, the more space is available to store your files and applications. A typical application today may take 10 to 50 megabytes (MB); photos may take up about 2-4MB each; graphics files can occupy more than 100MB; and video files are often many gigabytes in size.
MacBook Pro also offers solid-state drive options, which use technology similar to that in the iPod nano and other flash-based products. Solid-state drives offer enhanced durability in the event of an accidental drop.
All drives come formatted in the Mac OS Extended file format for efficient storage of your data.
Important note: For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
