Background
Introduced in June 2009, the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) replaced the MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008). Apple chose to "upgrade" the name to include Pro because of several key improvements, felt to be professional-level features. These included a FireWire800 port, an SD card slot (an Apple first), an improved LED-backlit screen, and a backlit keyboard on all models. The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) also included the integrated battery introduced with the MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009). The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) shipped in two configurations, priced $100 U.S. below the previous models, despite the inclusion of more pro-level features: 2.26 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/$1199 U.S., 2.53 GHz/4 GB RAM/250 GB HD/$1499 U.S. Built-to-order options included a 320 or 500 GB hard drive, a 128 or 256 GB solid-state drive, and up to 8 GB of RAM.
