The new MacBook Pros are here, and as expected, the 15 and 17-inch models are loaded with Intel's Amount i5 and i7 processors and new affectation options, but the 13-inch archetypal stays abaft with a Core2Duo and an banausic price.
So while appraisement on the 13-inch models abide the same, the abject MBP 17 drops to $2,300 ($200) while the abject MBP 15 in fact gets $100 added big-ticket at $1800.
All new models appear with a abject of 4GB of RAM (expandable to 8GB). Amount i7 processors are options for both the 15 and 17-inch models, which cover NVIDIA's GeForce GT 330M detached graphics—considered to be mid-range anthology cartoon cards (see benchmarks here). Meanwhile, the 13-inch MBP includes a custom-made NVIDIA 320M GPU.
Interestingly, the 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pros will use a new, proprietary arrangement to bandy amid detached and chip cartoon based aloft what processes you're active in OS X—a address somewhat agnate to what we've apparent from NVIDIA's Optimus system.

Also of note, the 15-inch archetypal now has three affectation options, a 1440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit ablaze display, a "high-resolution" 1680-by-1050 ablaze ($100 upgrade) or an "antiglare high-resolution" affectation ($150 upgade). The MBP 17 comes with the top resolution awning banal and can be upgraded to antiglare for $50.
And a hardly reformulated array is declared to antithesis the adeptness requirements of the new chipsets.
Still, lots of nickel and diming in this latest crop of MacBook Pros. To absorb as abundant as $1500 for a Core2Duo arrangement seems nuts, and the $100 amount backpack on 15-inch models—before exceptional affectation options—is a boxy bolus to swallow. Antiglare screens are the blazon of "upgrade" that should absolutely be accepted if you're already paying such a exceptional for well-designed hardware. [Apple]
