Apple’s “lovable MacBook Pro 13-inch (now with the ‘Pro’ moniker) has brought back the FireWire port, lowered its price, and for the first time in the company’s history, added the elusive SecureDigital (SD) slot,” Cisco Cheng reports for PC Magazine.

MacDailyNews Take: We knew the moment those SD Card slots showed up, Cisco would be needing new pants.

Cheng continues, “The SD slot is the most compelling addition because no other Apple product before the MacBook Pro 13-inch has seen anything similar, so the only way to unload data from a memory card that works with the millions of existing digital cameras has been, until now, through a USB-attached accessory.”

MacDailyNews Take: Wrong. It’s not the only way at all. We’ve been doing it via Wi-Fi for four years now, but, as we all know, PC users are years behind Mac users. Our first WiFi camera was a Nikon CoolPix P1. Turn on its WiFi and “Boom!” there’s the camera in iPhoto. Welcome to the future, Cisco, 2005 style! It even comes with a USB cable if you prefer old-fashioned methods. We haven’t touched an SD card (or a card reader) since we dropped a 1GB’er into the Nikon years ago. It’s a miracle, we know (sarcasm); so are these. Suffice to say, we won’t be using that slot for SD cards full of digital photos. Apple must have more ideas for that slot beyond just transferring data from cameras.

Cheng continues, “[MacBook Pro's] bigger and now-nonremovable battery scored an admirable 4 hours 44 minutes on our battery tests… It’s a great time to be shopping for a new Apple laptop—especially this one, which earns our Editors’ Choice.”

MacDailyNews Take: Did you know that when Cisco meets someone new the first thing out of his mouth is, “Show me your SD Card slot!”
