Nice. So nearly 30% faster, higher resolution screen AND better battery life
BTW, here's a nice bit from that link for those who would miss it otherwise
Which probably means it can do Flash at only 95%
Got a tip for us?

Not true. I use my 13" for CS4 (and soon CS5), Logic Pro / MainStage, and in a pinch Aperture ("pinch" only from the display not being the best).
And, there are tens, maybe hundreds like me out there !!!
Where? I still see all of the ports that were on the last model, or is my computer the only one looking into the past?
For the 15" yes, which sucks a bit.
Come on brother, lots of people!
Why oh why oh why oh why would you want a 1080p display on a 13-inch screen?
to kill your eyes?
Benchmarking will be interesting - there seems to be some serious battery savings from the intelligent GPU swapping.
Inertial scrolling - to come? Or a feature differentiator for new MBP only?
15 MBP - finally not a crap resolution - was always stuck with a bad deal in teh previous MBP generation.
So 20 or more percent faster in cases, with MUCH better battery life when using the higher end GPU. Comparing being on 9600 vs the new MBP i'd imagine, with teh 30% battery saving, we'll see big differences.
Have they changed the type of screen for the MBP, apart from change the 15 MBP's resolution?

GT330!
OMFG >_<
And not only that this graphics card is pile of crap today it will be even bigger pile of crap later down the line since MBP wont be updated for at least another 12 months...
Hezuz!

You have got to be kidding. Waiting for months for this ****** update just wasn't worth it. I can tell you numerous things right now that they could have improved upon, but I'll skip that since 99% of the readers of the forums probably think the same us me
You could have bought a month ago and really gotten screwed. I learned a long time ago: I will NEVER win the buying technology game. You buy it, they either drop the price or up the specs for the same price.
People want the world for specs, but then they'd complain about shorter battery life or whatever other wild hair gets up their arse.
I look at the 13" for what it is. I bought my wife one last year when they came out. She uses it for data entry at work, web, pages, numbers, nothing much more. At first she didn't even want to touch a mac, now if I "borrow it" to surf the web she gets all bent out of shape about me touching her computer..... She's happy = I'm happy. Well worth the 1199.
Would Love to have the newest but...
I bought the 2.53 late June 10 MBP 13" so I'm still good. I have been wanting to upgrade to the 15" for the real estate.
Oh yea I'm glad that Apple is not following BluRay. One ends up buy hundreds of disc just to be foiled when the new "standard" arrives. Go Digital!

Just bought an i7 15" HD-Res Macbook Pro......O_O
..I'm kinda overwhelmed. Never spend that much money upfront in my entire life......
I've been waiting since October for this. I can safely say I am very happy with the update and my purchase. This will be my first ever portable computer, I've only used desktops til now. Can't wait.

Core i7
Core i7 are available for both 15" and 17" Macbook Pros. The difference is that the Core i7 are BTO optional on 17" MBPs whereas is a standard model option for 15" MBPs.

We actually have no clue if Apple is using Optimus at all or not. They could just be using a modified version of their own switching tech.
yessssssssss! I didn't even notice the high res option until I read your post!!!! that's the one I'm getting.. will go to the store today and see if it's in stock!
1680x1050 Anti-Glare BTO option on the 15" check it out!!!!!!!!!
