Descripción:

In a keynote address on June 6, 2005, Steve Jobs officially announced that Apple would begin producing Intel-based Macintosh computers beginning in 2006.

On January 10, 2006, the first Intel-based machines, the iMac and MacBook Pro, were introduced. They were based on the Intel Core Duo platform. This introduction came with the news that Apple would complete the transition to Intel processors on all hardware by the end of 2006, a year ahead of the originally quoted schedule.

The MacBook Pro (sometimes unofficially abbreviated as MBP) is a line of Macintosh portable computers introduced in January 2006, by Apple Inc. It is the higher-end model of the MacBook family, sitting above the consumer-focused MacBook Air, and is available in 13-inch and 16-inch screen sizes. A 17-inch version was sold from April 2006 to June 2012.

The first-generation MacBook Pro used the design of the PowerBook G4, but replaced PowerPC G4 chips with Intel Core processors, added a webcam, and introduced the MagSafe power connector. The 15-inch model was introduced in January 2006; the 17-inch model in April. Later revisions added Core 2 Duo processors and LED-backlit displays.

The second-generation model debuted in October 2008 in 13- and 15-inch variants, with a 17-inch variant added in January 2009. Known as the "unibody" model because its case was machined from a single piece of aluminum, it had a thinner flush display, a redesigned trackpad whose entire surface was a single clickable button, and a redesigned keyboard. Updates brought Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel's Thunderbolt technology.

The third-generation MacBook Pro was released in 2012: the 15-inch in June 2012, a 13-inch model in October. It is thinner than its predecessor, makes solid-state storage (SSD) standard, and includes a high-resolution Retina display.

The fourth-generation MacBook Pro was released in October 2016. This generation uses USB-C for all data ports and power. It includes a shallower "butterfly"-mechanism keyboard. On all but the base model, the function keys were replaced with a touchscreen strip called the Touch Bar with a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button.

The fifth-generation MacBook Pro returns to a scissor-mechanism keyboard. A 16-inch model with a screen set in narrower bezels was released in November 2019, and a 13-inch model was released in May 2020.
