Souped Up Mac Book Pros are Here!

Apple has released 6 new Mac Book Pros models that go on sale today. It has been almost a year since we have seen a new Mac Book Pro released from Apple. These machines all promise faster processors and longer battery life. Will the new Mac Book Pros deliver? Early reviews are saying yes.

The 15 and 17-inch models have the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors in them with NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 330M graphics card.. The 13-inch models only have a Core2Duo with an NVIDIA 320M graphics card. All the new models come with 4 gigs of RAM (expandable to 8GB). The hard drive sizes ranges from 250 gigs to 500 gigs. Battery life runs between 8 – 10 hours, which is very impressive. Prices range from $1199 to $2299, but of course you can customize the laptop, but that will cost you more.
