    This amazing creation is the first and only quad core 13 inch Unibody MacBook Pro- a model that Apple never made! But Apple fan and certifiable mad lad ‪@dosdude1‬ didn't let that stop him. This MacBook achieves a record by taking advantage of a weird quirk of Intel processors from this time period... How much faster is it compared to a stock dual core 13 inch MacBook Pro, and can the chassis cool such a beefy chip? Let's find out!
