Apple’s MacBook line of laptops has met a dramatic overhaul, moving on to aluminum construction, edge-to-edge glass over LED displays, and oversize multi-touch track-pads. The latest updates have offered more fine-tuning and tweaking including some much-sought-after features.

The 13-inch aluminum uni-body of the Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL/A has been promoted to join the MacBook Pro family. To complete the move, the 13-inch Pro regains its missing FireWire port as well as an SD card slot making things a lot easier in general. The backlit keyboard has also been retained along with a non-removable battery similar to those already found on the MacBook Air and 17-inch Pro. However, Apple promises even better battery life with up to a 40 percent improvement.
