--------------------------

The MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.8 17" (Mid-2009) features a 45 nm "Penryn" 2.8 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (T9600), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 6 MB shared "on chip" level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus, 4 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) installed in pairs (two 2 GB modules), a 500 GB Serial ATA (5400 RPM) hard drive, an 8X DL "SuperDrive", dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT with 512 MB of dedicated GDDR3 SDRAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, integrated iSight, and an LED-backlit 17.0" widescreen TFT active-matrix "glossy" -- or "anti-glare" for an extra US$50 via build-to-order -- display (1920x1200 native resolution)

Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire "800" port, three USB 2.0 ports, optical digital/analog audio in/out, a "Mini DisplayPort" that supports an external display at 2560x1600, and an ExpressCard/34 slot. It lacks an SD card slot.

This model uses essentially the same "Unibody" case design -- one milled from a single block of aluminum -- as the previous 17-Inch MacBook Pro model that the "Mid-2009" system replaced, and it has the same backlit keyboard and "no button" glass "multi-touch" trackpad with support for "four finger" gestures and programmable "zones", and essentially the same internal architecture. However, this model is configured with a modestly faster processor, a bigger hard drive, and was introduced for US$300 less.
