The MacBook Pro is a line of Macintosh portable computers by Apple Inc. that was first introduced in January 2006 at the Macworld Expo. The MacBook Pro replaced the PowerBook G4 and was the second model to be announced in the Apple Intel transition (after the iMac). The MacBook Pro is positioned at the high end of the MacBook family.
