New MacBook Pros

These are being covered everywhere, but here's the highlights:

New 15" and 17" MacBook Pros

LED-backlit screens (15" only): lower power consumption=longer batter life. Oh yeah, and it's greener.

Up to 4GB of RAM (previous model was 3GB)

Intel Santa Rosa architecture - 800MHz bus (compared to 667 before)

17" doesn't get the LED screen, but you can get high-res (1080p) screen for $100 more.

Longer battery life - 30 minutes to an hour.

802.11n Wireless (previous cost extra to activate)

Screaming video card - nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

Price stays the same - starting at $1999.

Plus everything else the previous version had - Bluetooth, Firewire 400 & 800, etc.


Can't wait to get mine soon!
