From the news post:
Apple has just announced that they have updated their MacBook Pro line, which take advantage of Intel's Santa Rosa platform and LED-backlit displays. 15-inch and 17-inch models are available, starting off at $1,999 for a 2.2GHz with 2GB of ram and the 15-inch screen.
The MacBook Pro’s lightweight, aluminum enclosure is just one-inch thin and is available in three models: 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro models, and a 2.4 GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro model. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro models feature a brand-new, power-efficient LED-backlit display and are the first of Apple’s notebooks to transition to LED backlighting as part of the company’s effort to eliminate the use of mercury in its products.
Apples "going green" program is kicking off right now. It's unknown whether the updated MacBook Pros are completely mercury free, but they are on the road to a more environmentally friendly Apple, which is reassuring.
Each of the laptops is upgradeable to 4GB of ram ($750 option!) and includes an 8600GT NVIDIA card. The 15-inch models deliver a 1440x900 resolution while the 17-inch uses a beastly 1680x1050.
Unlike those bathroom-esque styled MacBooks, the MacBook Pro has a gorgeous aluminum body. If you are planning on picking up a new Apple notebook, the Pros are going to be difficult to resist.
