Peaches Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Review: Apple's new 17-in. MacBook Pro rocksUpgrades can push the price past $5k, though, so choose wisely March 6, 2009 (Computerworld) It took Apple Inc. a while to finally get around to updating the 17-in. MacBook Pro, but the wait was more than worth it. Apple started rolling out its carved-from-solid-aluminum laptops a year ago, with the incredibly thin MacBook Air. Then, in October, it revamped its MacBooks and the 15-in. MacBook Pro, moving them to the "unibody" manufacturing process (and moving the MacBooks decidedly upscale). Now, finally, comes the Big Daddy of all Apple laptops, the top-of-the-line 17-incher that has been made truly drool-worthy for professionals who need every bit of computing power and speed while on the go. Of course, speed, size and innovation don't come cheap. The already well-equipped base model (although I'm loath to call anything this gorgeous and well-built a "base model") starts with a 2.66-GHz Core 2 Duo processor from Intel, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, two Nvidia graphics processors and a simply stunning high-resolution, 1920-by-1200-pixel screen. Price: $2,799. http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...tsrc=hm_ts_head >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
