The MacBook Pro 17” was first released in April 2006 and ran until October 2011 when Apple made the decision to stop production of its largest and most powerful laptop. The 17” version of the MacBook Pro was aimed at professionals in areas such as photography and music editing. During the lifespan of the MacBook Pro 17” the design was changed only once; originally the MacBook Pro 17” was made from a lightweight Aluminium alloy before being refreshed in 2009 when Apple made the change to a ‘Unibody’ design which is moulded from a single piece of machined aluminium.
