Good morning!

After one of the longest waits of recent times for new toys, overnight saw new MacBook Pros get released featuring core i7 and i5 processors.

Updated MacBook Pros...

The 13" Models encompass a new Nvidia Geforce 320M which is said to be the fastest integrated graphics processor around, with the 15" and 17" Models using a Nvidia GeForce GT 330M.

The new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models are reportedly up to 50 percent faster than the previous systems. Using Intel's state-of-the-art 32 nanometer process, Intel Core i5 and i7 processors integrate the memory controller and Level 3 cache for faster access to system memory. Hyper-Threading technology improves data throughput by creating virtual processing cores, while Turbo Boost optimizes performance between the two processor cores, accelerating the system from 2.66 GHz to 3.06 GHz for intensive dual core tasks, and up to 3.33 GHz for single core tasks.
Apple's automatic graphics switching determines which graphics processor an application needs and switches instantly between processors to deliver peak performance and long battery life.

Two other big features of these revised machines is improved battery life - A staggering 10hrs on the 13" models - as well as the ability to order an Antiglare Display for both the 15" & 17" models.
