Differences between macbook pro displays

hi all!
i'm thinking on buying a new macbook pro i7, but i'm a bit confused about the differences between the display options.
MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display (default)
MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Glossy Widescreen Display
MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display
is there any difference in the display panels in therms of bits, like 6 or 8bit, so i can get more colour depth? or is "just" the resolutions and surface finishing? & Which one will be better ???
thanks in advance

From the Apple Store:
+The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit glossy display. You can also choose a high-resolution 1680-by-1050 glossy or antiglare display that gives you 36 percent more pixels.+
+About the high-resolution display+
+The 1680-by-1050 display gives you more pixels — which is especially useful when you’re working with HD content in pro applications, like Final Cut Studio — because you get a sharper image and more screen space to work with.+
+About glossy and antiglare+
+Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer colors and deeper blacks — great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with antiglare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the antiglare widescreen display.+

    No difference other than one is for the Russian market. Specs on both are the same, standard Apple Store issue versions.
    Of course the screen choice of anti-glare, glossy, high res or low res is not included.
    The default is likely the cheap glossy and low res.

    This, Whats's the difference between MacBook Pro 13 and 13.3 ?

    Firstly, you are not in MacBook Pro forum, so you need to get your bearings.
    2nd check the specs page
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    Then Bing/Google for reviews, Ars is always good but dozens have done one.
    2011 brings Intel Sandy Bridge processor boards, Thunderbolt, SATA3 (6G) along with options for SSD and much more RAM (can save buying RAM and doing the upgrade yourself)

  • What is the difference between Macbook Pro late 2008 & early 2009 ???

    I just bought a Macbook Pro on 1/1/09. I'm assuming I got a Late 2008. What is the difference between Macbook Pro late 2008 & early 2009 ???
    -Rany

    The "late 2008" macbook pro refers to the new 15 inch MBP currently out, and the early 2009 refers to it's big brother, the 17 inch which is due to come out in the near future.

    The first model was originally sold in the UK or Ireland, while the second came from a different country, probably one in the Middle East. They're operationally identical.

  • What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

    What is the difference between MacBook pro 2011 and 2012

    understanding that at the time of the question, there has not been any Macbook Pro 2012, now it is later and there is.
    The difference is:
    -CPU being used (2011 models: Sandy Bridge, 2012 models: Ivy Bridge)
    -Graphics (2011: intel 3000 + on 15"/17" ATI, 2012: intel 4000 + on 5"/17" nvidia Geforce 650M)
    -USB (2011: USB2.0 only, 2012: USB3.0)
    -Bluetooth (2011. 2.1 + EDR, 2012: 4.0)
    Ivy Bridge CPUs are smaller and are a little bit more energy-efficient.
    Other than that, currently the devices are not much different in respect to performance (Apple's graphics driver performance is known to increase during upgrades, though, so the performance gap may widen up)

  • How bright is the display and difference between MacBook Pro

    I have not decided which MacBook/Pro I will buy. An issue is the display. The display of my old 500Mhz G3 ibook looks quite dim compared to external displays.
    Usual you find the specs for the brightness (eg 300cd/m2) and contrast ratio's (1:800) in the technical data sheets. However, I couln't find this information for the MacBook or MacBook Pro. Does anyone know this values and how do they compare to iMac or the Apple Display (I still have the feeling that external displays are much brighter).
    My second question is, how compares the MaBook display to the MacBook Pro (glossy), besides the different size. I will definite go for a Pro in case the display of the Pro is much better.
    Many thanks

    Hello Friends,
    Here are some questions I have pls reply back with complete description and url if any ..
    1)How Did you tune Query, Use EXPLAIN PLAN to see exactly where it is spending its time, and address those areas.
    See the forum FAQ
    SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
    "3. How to improve the performance of my query?"
    2)What approach you take to tune query? Do you use Hints?Hints can help.
    Even more helpful is writing the SQL efficiently (avoiding multiple scans of the same table, filtering early, using built-in rather than user-defined functions, ...), creating and using indexes, and, for large tables, partitioning.
    Table design can have a big impact on performace.
    Look for ways to do part of what you need before the query. This includes denormalizing (when appropriate), the kind of pre-digesting that often takes place in data warehouses, function-based indexes, and, starting in Oracle 11, virtual columns.
    3)Where did you tune the query and what are the issue with query?Either this question is a vague summary of the entire thread, or I don't understand it. Can you re-phrase this part?
    4)What is difference between RBO and CBO? where u use RBO and CBO.Basically, use RBO if you have Oracle 7 or earlier.

  • Difference between MacBook Pro 15in 2.0GHZ & 2.2GHZ

    Hello -
    I am thinking about purchasing a 15in MacBook Pro.  Two questions:
    1) Is it worth to pay the extra $300 for .2GHZ of processor speed, 250GB of extra hard disk space, and a slightly better video card?
    2) also - is there a major difference between 2.0GHZ and 2.2GHZ in terms of processor speed?  Computer will be used for iPhoto, iMovie, email, iTunes, etc.  Basic stuff.
    Thanks!!!

    The real difference is not so much in published clock speed but the processor capability. The 2.0ghz MBP has a Core Duo processor--it's 32-bit. The 2.2 is a Core 2 Duo and is 64-bit capable. Snow Leopard runs like a dream on my 2.2 MBP and everything possible is set to 64-bit mode. This computer is much faster with 10.6 than it ever was with 10.5. Functionally, the 2.2 will be the better performer as more apps become 64-bit capable.
    I am sorry, this is incorrect information.  The 2.0 and the 2.2 are both Core i7 Sandy Bridge processors from Intel; both are 64bit architecture and both have 4 processor cores.  When it comes to the difference between processors there is just a slight speed bump. 
    The main reason to upgrade from the 2.0 to the 2.2 is the graphics card.  If you are going to be using the machine for graphics intensive work flow, then it would be advisable to upgrade.  If you are only anticipating using your machine for the basic tasks which you listed, there really is no reason for the bump up, in my opinion.  Especially since most of the tasks you listed will not even be possessed by AMDs graphics processor.  Only graphics intensive tasks will get shifted to AMD's processor, the rest will be handled by Intel's integrated graphics built into the Core i7 chipset.  You would do better to invest your money in a RAM upgrade; 8 gigs would do very nicely. 
    I personally bought the 2.0 15" MBP with 8 gigs of RAM and a solid state hard-drive.  I too am using my machine for more or less basic tasks and I am very pleased with the performance. 

  • DIfference Between MacBook Pro's

    What is the difference between the $1999 and $2499 MacBook Pro's? Are the speeds different or what? Also, what would you reccomend i do if i want to get the best game graphics?
    Thanks alot,
    Max

    Thank you, but my question is still unanswered. I am not the biggest computer guy so i still dont understand this. I am going to purchase one but i dont know what the difference between the 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo and the 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo. Also I dont know the difference between the 80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive and the 100GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive. Lastly Im not clear about the difference between the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 memory and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB GDDR3 memory. Can you tell me what these differences would do to the notebook?
    Thank you so much,

  • Difference between Macbook Pro 13 MD101HN/A and Macbook Pro 13 MD102LL/A

    Hello,
    I just wanted to know the difference in tech. specifications or any other difference in general for the following Macbook pro 13" models:
    1. Macbook Pro 13 MD101HN/A
    2. Macbook Pro 13 MD101LL/A
    3. Macbook Pro 13 MD102LL/A
    As of now, I have come upon these models only. So what is the basic difference? Which is the best?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the computers are Mid 2012, and the difference between the first two are that one is designed for India and the other for other countries. They are the same computer but for different markets.
    The third one is the high-end 13-inch MacBook Pro, that has got 8 GB of RAM and a 750 GB hard disk. Also, it has got a better processor. This is the one with the best hardware of all the three you mentioned, so if you want more performance, consider this Mac

  • Question about Hz difference between MacBook Pro and iMac?

    Some will think I'm crazy for saying this, but my new MacBook is driving me nuts.
    In a nutshell, I have tinnitus as a result of an accident some years ago. I can hear an intermittent high pitch sound coming from the back left of the machine. I used to hear a similar sound from old TVs back when I first got tinnitus. After some deduction I realised that it was to do (I think) with the fequency. I sold my old TV and brought a new one that was a 100Hz. My theory was somewhat confirmed when they delivered it and it was the 50Hz version and yes, the high pitch sound was very evident! Upon receipt of the 100Hz model and I immediately noticed the difference.
    I'm guessing then that the MacBook has something inside emitting 50-60Hz - someone on this forum mentioned that too.
    Although I want the portability, I can't stand that sound all day long, so I'm thinking of taking it back and swapping it for an iMac.
    The question is, will I find the same problem? I'm not sure of the technical specifications in terms of Hz's between the two machines.
    It's too noisy in the shop to tell.
    Any advice appreciated.
    PS - did not have this issue with my 2008 MacBook pro.
    PPS - makes no difference if it's plugged in or not.

    Isolating the source of the high frequency would take a technician with the instruments to deteermine what components emit sound...actually very easy to do with the proper test instruments, but essential to tell you what is causing the offending sound.  Unless you know that it will be very hard to determine if the iMac will not do the same thing.
    Only qualitative way to find out is go to an Apple store or reseller with a good selection of hardware, work with the different hardware and see if it bothers you.  Preferably with few people around and low background noise level so the sound isn't masked.

  • Difference between Macbook Pro "13 and "15

    I was just wondering what other differnces are found in the Macbook Pro "13 and "15 Non retina other than the Screen size. Thanks

    Graphics capability.
    Besides the size, the 15" model has two GPUs, the one built into the regular Intel CPU and an extra one with way more oomph. Plus it has separate and dedicated VRAM just for the graphics, so the GPU and CPU don't do a battle royale for access to a shared memory. This really improves performance. You can also custom-order the widescreen display (essentially, half-a-Retina without the cost) and even the anti-glare option, essential for use outdoors. Plus many more configurable customization options.
    13" models just have the piddly integrated GPU and shared memory. Very graphics demanding apps fall flat on their face in this platform.
    Also, the 13" models have a single fan, vs. the two on the 15". So when used intensively, will run hotter by default. And the battery will last less since it is smaller: battery capacity is directly proportional to the volume.
    But some people still prefer the smaller size and somewhat lighter weight.
