The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) also included the integrated battery introduced with the MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009). These included a FireWire800 port, an SD card slot (an Apple first), an improved LED-backlit screen, and a backlit keyboard on all models. Apple chose to "upgrade" the name to include Pro because of several key improvements, felt to be professional-level features. Introduced in June 2009, the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) replaced the MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008). A single 3.5mm jack could be used for analog or optical audio out, or analog audio in. Though reported as a 256 MB graphics system, the chipset actually used up to 272 MB of RAM.
