 {{ :intel:intel-mbp.jpg?nolink&400|}} The MacBook Pro is a line of Mac laptop computers developed and manufactured by Apple. Introduced in 2006, it is the high-end sibling of the MacBook family, sitting above the ultra-portable MacBook Air and previously the low-end MacBook line. It is currently sold with 14-inch and 16-inch screens, all using Apple M-series chips. Before Apple silicon, the MacBook Pro used Intel chips, and was the first laptop made by Apple to do so, replacing the earlier PowerBook. It was also the first Apple laptop to carry the MacBook moniker. {{ :intel:intel-mbp.jpg?nolink&400|}} The MacBook Pro is a line of Mac laptop computers developed and manufactured by Apple.

 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +Intel Macs are generally [[:hurtme:abit|Okayish]] to install OpenBSD on. There are some general issues however that you may run into, but there are workarounds for these:
 +
 +  * WiFi cards in most Apple laptops do not play nice with OpenBSD out of the box
 +  * Obviously, no Bluetooth in ANY OpenBSD system since OpenBSD 5.5
 +  * Thunderbolt can be tricky
 +  * Sleep/wake isn't perfect but good 'nuff usually
 +  * For some models ethernet likes to act up
 +  * **THE DREADED ACPI TIMEOUT** occurs on a few models, which leads to ridiculous (2 hour +) boot times. There is a fix for it as described in the [[:misc:acpi_patch|ACPI Patch]]
