Use the laptop identification system to help you identify your machine. Processor speed can be found in the battery compartment. If your MacBook Pro no longer boots, you can verify that the model number printed on the lower case is A1150. If your MacBook Pro turns on, you can verify that you have a Core Duo version by checking the processor information through 'About This Mac' in the Apple menu. The MacBook Pro 15' Core Duo A1150 is the only MacBook Pro 15' series with a Core Duo processor. The MacBook Pro 15' Core Duo was replaced nine months later by the MacBook Pro 15' Core 2 Duo Model A1211, which offered a better processor, improved Airport, and a larger RAM maximum capacity. Apple included a built-in web camera called iSight, and the laptops included MagSafe power connectors.

However, some precedents were set by the MacBook Pro 15' Core Duo.

It's not random, it happens precisely one time out of two, so I'm a bit at a loss as to why, and how I can correct that.The MacBook Pro 15' Core Duo was the first of several laptops to be named 'MacBook Pro.' The MacBook Pro 15' Core Duo featured an aluminum casing, just like the PowerBook G4 before it.

I'll see the rEFInd screen again, then grub, and only then will Lite actually boot. In other words, I shutdown Lite, and it doesn't matter if I'm restarting or doing a cold boot, one time out of two, like clockwork, boot will stop at the 'feather screen', and the Mac will restart. I may have a hardware compatibility issue, though, whether with the graphics card or TPM module (I thought my MBP didn't have one, but I saw a few error messages about it in verbose reboot), that are causing startup to fail every other time. Of course, i can't install the latest release, so I'm running 3.8 (32-bit.), fully up-to-date, and install was relatively painless. I need some advice and/or guidance on this matter, though: I recently decided to insuflate a little life in my aging and beloved early 2006 MacBook Pro that was forever stuck with Snow Leopard due to its 32-bit-only CoreDuo CPU, and tested several Linux distros before settling down (I think) with Linux Lite. I'm new here, but not entirely a Linux newbie.
