The new model comes in 2.4 GHz and 2.66 GHz versions. The black keys look sharp with the aluminum enclosure, and the 13″ MacBook Pro only comes with a glossy screen. The 13″ MBP uses the same keyboard as before, complete with backlighting. The entire trackpad functions as the mouse button. It supports 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-finger gestures. The glass trackpad is the same one found in the previous generation of MacBook Pro models. 4 GB of RAM is standard (8 GB maximum), and hard drives are bigger. CPU speeds for the new 13-incher are 2.4 GHz and 2.66 GHz, about 5% faster than least year’s models. The 13″ MacBook Pro is the only Pro model to retain the Intel Core 2 CPU – the bigger MacBook Pro models ship with Intel’s new i5 CPU and can be custom ordered with the more powerful i7. They all use new Nvidia GPUs and claim to increase battery life – in the case of the 13″ model, from 7 hours to an impressive 10. Mr Cook, this is NOT the way to go.Apple introduced redesigned MacBook Pro models in April 2010. It is this type of arrogance that will see Apple's share price come down to where Microsoft's is.Īpple pushes the boundaries of design and technology but leaves its existing customer base behind.

I have a money tree that allows me to upgrade all my laptops (3 of them) and my Mac Pro every time Apple introduces new products. The cynical answer is that Apple wants us to upgrade our machines.

So why doesn't Apple make a card for its legacy customers? Or release native drivers for its older machines? There is no fine print that the USB 3.0 ports won't work with this or that.
The new Macbook Pro has two USB 3.0 ports so obviously Apple has drivers for USB 3.0.

So much for the word Universal in Universal Serial Bus.Īnd this is what infuriates me about Apple.

The Mac OS X driver for this card does not support most USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. What won't work is your hub as we state in tech note#1 on the product page"īad in that, sppecifically, the tech note states:
"The card will work in your Mac Pro and we released a driver last week that adds 10.8.x compatibility. I wrote to them asking if it supported Mountain Lion and USB 3.0 hubs. I also looked at the Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe card. In case you haven't noticed, things are rather tought at the moment so we can't all go out and purchase the latest laptops in order to have access to USB 3.0.ĭoes anyone know of a card that will work in a Mac Pro AND work with USB 3.0 hubs AND Mountain Lion? I've looked and looked and can't find anything. Mr Cooke, please stop alienating your customers by pushing for new technologies (something I hope you will continued doing) while deserting owners of older hardware that can't afford to keep updating their machines. Why doesn't Apple give us USB 3.0 drivers? Is it because they are pushing Thunderbolt? Where have they been? Don't they keep up with new software releases? They now have a warning that they have issues with Mountain Lion. This card does not support USB 3.0 hubs! How dumb is that. I then thought of purchasing the Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe card. I purchased this card and had to return it. The Lacie card only supports Lacie products and the driver does not work with Mountain Lion.
