MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009)

Compared with the MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), this lower-cost 2.53 GHz model has the sealed 7-hour battery and SD card slot of the Mid 2009 line. What tells it apart from the other 15-inch Mid 2009 models is its graphics. It has only the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, with no GeForce 9600M GT. It came with 4 GB of memory and a 250 GB hard drive.
