Apple presented its first MacBook Pro on January 10, 2006 at the Macworld conference. At the mentioned conference, Steve Jobs presented only its 15" version, a few months later the company also presented a larger, 17" variant. The first-generation MacBook Pro resembled the PowerBook G4 in many ways, but unlike it, it was equipped with an Intel Core processor. While in terms of weight, the 15” MacBook Pro did not differ much from the 15” PowerBook G4, in terms of dimensions, there was a slight increase in width and at the same time it became thinner. The first-generation MacBook Pro was also equipped with an integrated iSight webcam, and the MagSafe charging technology also debuted on this model. While the 15" MacBook Pro of the first generation had two USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 400 port, the 17" variant had three USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 400 port.

Apple has been quite quick to update its first-generation MacBook Pros – the first time this product line was updated was in the second half of October 2006. The processor was improved, the memory capacity doubled and the hard disk capacity increased, and the 15” models were enriched with FireWire 800 port. Apple also gradually introduced keyboard backlighting for both versions. The MacBook Pro received a mostly positive response when it was first introduced, with even more enthusiasm for later updates. However, certain problems did not escape the MacBook Pro - the 15" and 17" models, produced during 2007 and early 2008, for example, experienced complications associated with processor failure. After initial hesitation, Apple resolved these issues by launching a motherboard replacement program.
