Apple has updated the 15 and 17 inch Macbook Pros with Intel Core i5 & i7 processors. 13 inch Macbook & Macbook Pros have not been updated.
15 inch MBPs now have 4GB RAM, switchable Intel HD and NVIDIA GeForce Graphics and a choice of i5 or i7 CPU.
The 17 inch comes with i5 as standard but you can get the i7 one for 200$ more. The rest of the specs are same as 15 inch.
Here are the complete specs:
15 inch | 17 inch | |
Microprocessor | Choice of i5 or i7 | |
RAM | 4GB | |
Graphics | Switchable Intel HD graphics & NVIDIA GeForce GT 3300M | |
Hard Drive | up to 500 GB | 500 GB |
Battery | Built in 8 to 9 hour battery | |
Price | 1799$ to 2199$ | 2299$ |
The USP here is the battery life. Even if we get half of the claimed battery life, it will still be way more than any other laptop in the market today with similar specs.
