Updated MacBook Pro: faster processor, LED-backlit display and upgraded graphics card

As rumors predicted a new lineup of MacBook Pros has been announced today by Apple.

Not exactly an update of the previous models: some brand new features have been introduced:

  • New Core 2 Duo processors, up to 2.4 GHz,
  • brand new NVidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics controller with 256 MB of GDDR3 VRam,
  • RAM now expandable to the full 4 GB (previously: 3GB max),
  • hard disk up to 160 GB (15″ model) and 250 GB (17″ model).

    Another welcome feature comes from the LED-backlit displays that provides a more battery-efficient and bright view on both 15″ and 17″ models.
    17″ has an option for 1920 x 1200 maximum high resolution, making the ideal choice for road warriors.

    Good news about the price: 1.999 for the 2.2 GHz 15″ model up to 2.799 for the 17″ (and some US$ 100 more for the high-res display)
