This month, EveryMac.com features comprehensive updates to the "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A and MacBook Air Q&A to cover all the details of the latest Mac notebooks. Estimated Current Retail pricing has been updated sitewide as well.

This month also marks the 13th anniversary of EveryMac.com. Thank you very much for supporting EveryMac.com and the companies that sponsor the site. With your continued patronage, EveryMac.com will be able to serve you for years to come.

The "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A answers "What is the 'real-world' battery life of the 'Mid-2009' 13-Inch, 15-Inch, and 17-Inch MacBook Pro models? How does the battery life of each compare to the model each replaced?" and "How do you upgrade the hard drive in the 'Mid-2009' 13-Inch, 15-Inch, and 17-Inch MacBook Pro models? Can one replace the hard drive with an SSD?" and everything in between about the more affordable new MacBook Pro models.

The MacBook Air Q&A answers "What are the differences between the 'Mid-2009' MacBook Air models and the MacBook Air models that they replaced?" and "How fast is the 'Mid-2009' MacBook Air compared to earlier MacBook Air models? How fast is it compared to the 'Mid-2009" MacBook Pro?' as well as dozens of other questions about the dramatically less expensive new MacBook Air line.
