Apple's MacBook Pro is a professional model laptop capable of running Mac OS X, Windows and Linux operating systems and is on the top end of the MacBook family.
On June 8, 2009, Apple revealed the latest model of the MacBook Pro. The aluminum MacBook was re-branded to be the 13-inch MacBook Pro. All of the MacBook Pros now have non-removable batteries. The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros now include a SD card slot instead of an ExpressCard/34 slot, which is still present on the 17-inch MacBook Pro.
