Apple Updates MacBook Pro
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007 | Apple News, Apple View, Mac Resources, Tech News
Today Apple Inc. updated the MacBook Pro line. These professional laptops are now faster, with double the memory, greater hard drive space, stronger video card and more energy efficient displays. In addition, they come with Airport 802.11n standard. The 17-inch model has the option of a higher resolution display for an additional $100.
The press release says,
The MacBook Pro’s lightweight, aluminum enclosure is just one-inch thin and is available in three models: 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro models, and a 2.4 GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro model. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro models feature a brand-new, power-efficient LED-backlit display and are the first of Apple’s notebooks to transition to LED backlighting as part of the company’s effort to eliminate the use of mercury in its products. The 17-inch model now offers a new optional 1920-by-1200 high-resolution display, providing over 30 percent more screen real estate than the standard 1680-by-1050 display.
Too bad I purchased mine a little more than a month ago. I’m considering to call Apple and beg them to let me exchange mine for the updated model. Those of you who have held out until now, your patience has paid off. All you have to wait for now is Leopard.
