Background

About the Apple MacBook Pro 17" A1229

Sold 2007–2008

The Apple MacBook Pro 17" A1229 is the Santa Rosa generation of the 17-inch model, sold from 5 June 2007 to 26 February 2008. It shipped with a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, and a 2.6 GHz option was added in November 2007.

Graphics moved to the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, and a higher-resolution 1920 by 1200 display was offered as an option alongside the standard 1680 by 1050 panel. LED backlighting, new on the 15-inch that year, was not yet available on the 17-inch. The 8600M GT is the well-known fault on this model: Apple acknowledged that the chip could fail and repaired affected machines free of charge for a limited period.
