Upgraded Apple MacBook Pro arrives
Apple announced Tuesday that it has updated its high-end MacBook Pro laptops with faster processors, better graphics and more memory space. The laptops are still available in three models: two 15.4-inch versions that retail for $1,999 and $2,499, and a larger, 17-inch edition that costs $2,799. But with Tuesday’s update, the lower-end 15-inch model is now equipped with 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors (previously, it had a 2.16GHz chip); the higher-end 15-incher and the 17-incher now come with 2.4GHz processors, up from 2.33GHz. These new processors are indeed Intel’s latest Centrino–or “Santa Rosa”–chips, which were introduced in early May.
All three MacBook Pros additionally now can be upgraded from 2GB to 4GB of RAM (random access memory) at extra cost, and have faster Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics cards designed for media-intensive animation and gaming. The 15-inch models also have an energy-efficiency boost, with LED-backlit displays. Apple has touted these not only as power-saving but also mercury-free. The last major update to the MacBook Pro laptops was in October, when they were first manufactured with Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

why the fuck doesnt this work anymore
LOL @ the windows joke…
seeing as how you can install vista/windows on a mac but not osx on any computer that apple doesn’t “authorize”… well that shows how much more DRMed apple’s products are.
itunes ties their music to ipod, osx ties their software to apple hardware even though it’ll run perfectly fine on any computer.
keep defending the DRM cartels, see where it gets ya.
death to ms and apple.
