Apple has just refreshed its entire line-up of MacBook Pro notebooks. The new additions include Intel's new Sandy Bridge Core i5 and Core i7 series of processors, combination of new Intel onboard and discrete AMD graphics (with no presence of NVIDIA anymore) and more storage capacity. Apple is also introducing Thunderbolt, which is Apple's implementation of Intel 's Light Peak technology, a high speed connectivity port which lets you connect multiple devices such as storage drives, external displays, etc. all to a single port, thereby negating the need to have multiple ports. It has a bandwidth of 10Gb/s, which works both ways simultaneously. The new MacBook Pro's also have FaceTime HD, which let's you make video calls in 720p widescreen.
Unfortunately, no changes have been made to the display resolution and even the RAM is the same as on the previous generation model. The battery life has degraded, down to 7 hours on all models, from 10 hours on the 13-inch model and 8-9 hours on the 15-inch and 17-inch models. Prices are the same as the previous generation models. The new range now includes two 13-inch models, two 15-inch models and one 17-inch model. Here are the the full specs (click to enlarge).
