Apple’s latest line of MacBook Pros brings a refreshing update, starting with a $1,199. 13-inch version and goes all the way up to a $2,499 17-inch version.
The 15-inch version comes in two flavors and moves over to Intel’s Sandy Bridge Core i7 and Core i5 processors, and both configurations come with switchable graphics and a beefed up hard drive. The Apple MacBook Pro line was already well ahead of its competitors in terms of performance and style, and it takes another step ahead with this next generation.
