Apple Releases Penryn-Based MacBook Pros with Multitouch - Page 2

netdog · Feb 26, 2008, 08:42 AM

The 2.4 looks like the sweet deal here. Interesting.

No Time Capsule yet...

Is this upgradable by software perhaps?

No

Nice updates but I'll wait for a case redesign

cagil · Feb 26, 2008, 08:43 AM

does it have a new design?

DuFFy · Feb 26, 2008, 08:43 AM

i cant believe half the post so far are complaints...

but thank god its here so we can stop hearing about it, at least for now..

gibbz · Feb 26, 2008, 08:43 AM

Now I guess all of the those who (im)patiently waited can now get the latest and greatest..... Or maybe they should wait until the next update.

writeous · Feb 26, 2008, 08:43 AM

Im confused. i still see "intel core 2 duo" listed. Is that Peryn?

Macnator · Feb 26, 2008, 08:43 AM

So. They are finally here. Not that Im buying one. I will wait for a case redesign or something like that. Nice to know they have come!

Well, it also includes a different version of the processor that's 2.5Ghz vrs 2.4 and has a 6MB cache instead of 3MB.

And a 250GB HD instead of 200GB.

But yeah, that's a big premium.

DaveTheGrey · Feb 26, 2008, 08:44 AM

The Apple Remote is now an option for 19$, like we've seen already with the MBA...

thejadedmonkey · Feb 26, 2008, 08:44 AM

That's beautiful.. After all that waiting and nothing but a speedbump

cheunghy · Feb 26, 2008, 08:44 AM

What’s in the Box
• MacBook Pro
• 85W MagSafe Power Adapter, AC wall plug, and power cord
• Lithium-polymer battery
• DVI to VGA adapter
• Install/restore DVDs
• Display cleaning cloth
• Printed and electronic documentation

Wait, Apple Remote as an option? It doesn't come as a standard?
Hope this is not true.

Yes, it's just a new platform

mbene12 · Feb 26, 2008, 08:45 AM

What has been updated? They should publish a delta chart.

<10% processor speed bump or is a new chipset in place too?

Same graphics or new?

They did add the multi-touch so thats new.

I got another year or so before I need to upgrade my first gen intel MBP, but is this what people have been waiting for or is it a very small incremental improvement? just curious.

mas90guru · Feb 26, 2008, 08:45 AM

Memory upgrades are now only $ 400 for an added 2GB (down from previous $ 700 for the extra 2GB) which I documented here

johnnyjibbs · Feb 26, 2008, 08:45 AM

UK store only has 128 + 256 MB VRAM - a mistake?

hotsauce3868 · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

When you upgrade to the high resolution screen you get the LED backlighting.

QCassidy352 · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

twice the L2 cache on the 2.5 Ghz, FWIW. Still, $500 seems a lot for that, 100 mhz, 256 vram, and some HD space. 2.4 is definitely the sweet spot now.

WonderBeat · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

Its "douple-layer"...

Must be new technology....

JK guys, but thats what it says.

where on the store does it say Penryn? I see "Core Duo"

mac821 · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

size of trackpad is same as before even it has multitouch

ibinco · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

Holly smokes, finally updated. But my god they are charging for the remote on a $ 2000 machine!?!?!?!?!?!

Kilamite · Feb 26, 2008, 08:46 AM

I want one! Multi-touch woo!

I think Apple are in the process of updating the MacBook and MacBook Pro homepages because some of the specs haven't been changed yet.

miloblithe · Feb 26, 2008, 08:47 AM

The previous generation also came with glossy vrs antiglare options, right? That's not new?

GUSTO · Feb 26, 2008, 08:47 AM

UK store MBP has 128Mb 8600 as intro model, but US has it as 256Mb 8600?

neiltc13 · Feb 26, 2008, 08:47 AM

Looks like MacBook Pro still has the old keyboard layout too. No media keys like the MacBook + Air.
