PCMag Editors have not yet tested the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011). We do, however, have an upcoming review of the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Late 2011) ($1,799.00 direct, not yet reviewed).

Design & Features
The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011) updates the laptop with a newer 2.4GHz iteration of the Intel Core i5 processor and OS X Lion. The inclusion of OS X Lion adds several software enhancements to this already improved package. Despite the hardware and software upgrades, the MacBook Pro 13-inch is still available for $1,199.00 through Apple Stores, Apple.com, or other retailers.

The MacBook Pro line-up utilizes Apple's signature unibody construction, providing a single-piece aluminum chassis that is both lightweight and strong. The 13-inch widescreen offers 1280 by 800 resolution, providing all the resolution needed for 720p video playback. The LED backlit display offers brighter colors, sharper details and deeper blacks thanks in part to the glass layer covering the display surface. The Apple MacBook Pro line-up also features one of the best chiclet-style keyboards in the industry, with black tile keys and an LED backlight. The accompanying glass-topped clickpad has consistently been one of the best on any laptop, and Lion's improved gesture control only enhances this fact.

The MacBook Pro 13-inch also comes with OS X Lion, Apple's current operating system, which offers improved gesture controls, automatic file-saving and resume, and iCloud backup, syncing, and remote access. Included with Lion are several applications, all highly rated programs in their own right. Upon starting the machine, you'll have Apple's Time Machine backup and recovery program, Safariweb-browser, iChat and FaceTime (which takes advantage of the MacBook's built-in 1280-by-720 webcam), iTunes, and iLife, which includes iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.

Last, but certainly not least, the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011) has been outfitted with several new internal components, namely faster 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz dual-core processors (two as yet unnamed members of the Intel Core i5 and Core i7 lines). Other components held over from the previous iteration include a spacious 500GB 5,400rpm spinning hard drive, 4GB of RAM, and a 63.5Wh internal battery providing an estimated battery-life of 7-hours.
