Damn! Wish I had waited it out another couple of weeks to have AppleCare replace my faulty MBP. 200gb hard drives standard!
 
My first gen 2.16 MBP is *finally* beginning to feel long in the tooth...

Have to try to hold out...

Nice upgrade!

Multi-Touch = software?

The trackpad looks the same as our current MacBookPro.
Is this upgradable by software perhaps?
 
Let whine-fest begin... :rolleyes:

Glad to see penryn make its debut in the Apple line. And the pros getting multitouch is nice, however it doesn't look like they made the trackpad bigger, which surprises me really.
 
Wow, 100mhz more and 256mb of V-RAM I'd never use!

Somehow I think buying it when I did was the right thing to do ;)

Edit: No High res 15", or blue ray.. Hmm :/
 
LED 17in. ?

"Both 15-inch MacBook Pro models feature power-saving, LED backlit widescreen displays. And now you can even configure the 17-inch model with the ultimate creative canvas — 1920 by 1200 pixels with LED backlighting."

Does this mean there is LED in the 17in. now?
