After a long wait (for some people, at least), Apple has released its first MacBook Pros with Core 2 Duo processors. You will find on Apple's website that the new models are apparently 39% faster than the old models, which is quite a performance boost. But we've come to expect that from Apple.
The 15.4" MacBook Pro comes with a 2.16GHz or 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 3GB), and up to 200GB of hard disk space. The 17" MacBook Pro comes standard with the 2.33GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. Both have slot-loading SuperDrives (the 15.4" has a 6x drive and the 17" has an 8x drive). The laptops weigh in at 5.6 and 6.8 pounds, respectively.
Both models come equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB of 256MB of memory (based on processor speed). All the standard features of a MacBook Pro, like AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, gigabit ethernet, Firewire, and an integrated camera, along with others, are also included.
Pricing starts at $1,999 for the 15.4" and $2,799 for the 17" MacBook Pros.
