With Apple's refreshed MacBook Pro line-up, a lot is brought to the table. At the very least, there are faster processors, Intel's Thunderbolt technology, FaceTime going HD and more. But, there was another introduction that I didn't immediately notice... AMD Radeon graphics. That's right... it looks like NVIDIA got the boot, and given the rock-solid performance of GeForce, we're rather surprised.

but perhaps gaming isn't really a big focus of MacBook Pro users.

Apparently MacBook Pro users don't really have any focus. The 6750M is absolutely abysmal, considering the amount of cash you plop down for one of these. $2,500?! I mean really?! I guess this doesn't really come as a surprise, though, considering Apple's been doing this for years.

Don't get me wrong &mdash; Apple does make some solid stuff; their laptops have some of the best touch-pads I've used, and they also don't cover the whole things in that glossy crap. Is all that really worth the incredible mark-up though?

Apple &ndash; ripping off trendy kids and the ill-informed since 1976.
