Apple - 17″ MacBook Pro - April 24, 2006
Today, 04.24.06, Apple unveiled a new 17″ MacBook Pro, which is about 5x faster than the original 15″ model. The new MacBook Pro has a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, a whopping 1680×1050 display, 1GB RAM, 8x Dual-Layer SuperDrive, ATI Mobility Radeon 256MB, and a 120GB Hard Drive. This new laptop will run you about $2,799, but the specs speak for themselves. Although many were hoping for a smaller and cheaper MacBook Pro, a larger and more expensive one was released. However, this may be popular for those that wish to have a powerful portable machine that can now run both Mac OS X and Windows XP. Overall this new addition is an exact replica of the previous 15″ models, which still exist, except this model has a bigger/brighter display and better hardware specs. The 17″ MacBook Pro still has all standard MacBook Pro features such as the iSight Cam, MagSafe Power, Front Row Remote, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. If you do wish to purchase it, Apple will begin shipping them next week.

These new gems are absolutely wonderful! Be careful when ordering, though. Even if you shell out the extra $15 for 2-3 day shipping, there’s such a high demand for them that you probably wont get the new computer for at least two weeks after ordering them. Its really terrible actually, since this put me into a position where I won’t get my computer until after I return to the states (since I’m leaving for a study abroad trip before the computer is even going to ship!)
