Apple has started progressively opening its worldwide online stores, revealing the release of the company's new high end laptops, sporting Core 2 Duo chips. The MacBook Pro's product page on Apple's web site has already been updated to reflect the changes. Here are the new MacBook Pro configurations available: MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz: MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz: MacBook Pro 17" Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz: The most noticable changes are storage and RAM boosts at the mid and high end, the use of the Core 2 Duo processor and the inclusion of a FireWire 800 port across the line. Claimed battery life is 5 hours for the MacBook Pro 15" and 5.5 hours for the MacBook Pro 17". Bookmark/Search this post with:

Submitted by david (not verified) on Tue, 2006-10-24 14:02.Justin, it was obvious that MBPs would come first. Apple probably waited until the availability of the 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo gets good.
Now they can put lower speed Core 2 Duos on the MacBooks.

Let's hope the "close to Apple" source mentioned in their report is as good as the "reliable sources" mentioned in the article's update. ;)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 2006-10-24 17:24.Thinksecret claims that there will be NO more hardware updates this year. I guess the Macbook doesn't make it under the my tree this year.

The Macbhooks are nice but
Submitted by TheCybologist (not verified) on Sat, 2006-10-28 04:25.The Macbhooks are nice but it is all about the PRO version. I currently am a 12" Powerbook owner. It has been the best mac I have ever owned. I love the size/weight. I would have loved to see another 12" model but wide screen is the new thing. The 13" Macbook is only a little smaller then the 15" so what is the point. You gotta go with the PRO. As for me...I am an Authorized Business Agent for Apple. I get a discount for a demo unit. As soon as that coupon is Avail. to me I will buy the new C2D MacbookPro 15". I have worked on the previous MacbookPro's and they were Awesome. Any imporvements can only be better
