At these events, the company showed the world products such as iTunes, the first iPhone or the first MacBook Pro. It was announced on January 10, 2006, with a Valentine's Day release scheduled for February 14, 2006.

Some rock fans received this change coldly, even seeing it as a desecration of the company's history. However, there was a reason for the name change. Along with the new generation iMac, it was the very first Apple computers with Intel processors. Specifically, Apple used 32-bit dual-core Core Duo processors in combination with 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics chip with 128 or 256 MB of memory. However, the silent upgrade of the processor frequency is interesting. Instead of the originally announced options of 1.67, 1.83 and 2 GHz, models with 1.83, 2 and 2.16 GHz were finally available while maintaining the original prices. The computer also had an 80 GB or 100 GB hard drive with a speed of 5400 rpm.
In other big news, aside from the temporary removal of the FireWire port, the MacBook Pro was the first computer ever to feature a MagSafe power connector. For this connector, Apple was inspired by the magnetic elements of kitchen appliances, which were supposed to protect users from accidents. In this case, they were supposed to prevent the computer from falling to the ground in case someone accidentally steps on the cable. However, this port is no longer used by Apple and has been replaced by USB-C.
The display has been modified and offers a larger 15.4″ diagonal compared to its predecessor, but with a lower resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. Previous models offered a 15.2″ display with a resolution of 1440 x 960. However, users could also connect the MacBook Pro to a 30″ Apple Cinema Display using Dual-DVI in addition to this display.
The computer started selling for $1, the more expensive version with a 999GB hard drive cost the user $100, and for the first time ever, the CTO processor upgrade to the aforementioned 2 GHz was available for an additional $499. Users could also upgrade their RAM up to 2.16 GB.
The MacBook Pro went on sale with Mac OS X 10.4.4 Tiger designed for Intel processors, as well as the iLife '06 software suite, which included iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, and the new iWeb. The last version of the operating system for the first generation MacBook Pro was Mac OS X 1.0.6.8 Snow Leopard released in July/July 2011.
