Apple Boosts MacBook Pro Line

Apple Boosts MacBook Pro Line
This morning Apple announced updates to its MacBook Pro line of notebooks. Two new 15-inch models are shipping now, both packed with two gigabytes of RAM (expandable up to four gigabytes) and speed boots clocking in at 2.2 and 2.4 gigahertz. Both are also equipped with Apple's brand new LED-backlit displays and, according to a press release, "are the first of Apple's notebooks to transition to LED backlighting as part of the company's effort to eliminate the use of mercury in its products." Prices for the two models start at $1,999 and $2,499.

A new 17-inch model is also shipping today, sans LED-backlit display, but offering an optional 1920-by-1200 high-resolution display instead, which has 30 percent more screen acreage than standard 1680-by-1050 displays. The 17-inch model also now clocks in at 2.4 gigahertz and comes with two gigabytes of RAM expandable to four. Prices start $2,799.
