It seems as if for the last couple years every time Apple releases a new device it gets less expensive than the predecessor. I wonder if this is just an economy of scale effect, if as Apple grows they can afford to make less expensive computers, or if the lower prices are driven by falling hardware costs, or if they are deliberately driving the price down to grab a larger market share. Either way the Apple product li…
may be they should've relabeled the 13" MBP as Macbook and retired the white Macbook, frankly the specs are quite low except for the CPU.. display at 1280x800 :( But the 15" and 17" inchers look awesome with quads
What's new?
i5 processor in 13"
Thunderbolt 10Gbps integrated into DisplayPort connection
AMD/ATI Radeon graphics chips
Interesting that they are now offering a SSD drive......does this mean they have now added the SSD TRIM command (or planning to add it in Lion)?
Its the first MacBook Pro that I have wanted to buy

• Ditching the optical media for longer battery life
• 4 cores in the 13"
• Max RAM of 12 GB (this one isn't listed ... maybe?)
• The higher resolution 1440x900 resolution in the 13" that the Macbook Air has
Altogether it's a pretty wussy update. Basically it looks like the diff (on the 13" model, which is what I care about) is:
• Faster CPU (finally!)
• Thunderbolt port (count on buying another $30 display adapter like every generation)
• 3 hours less battery life
Interesting they've included an integrated graphics controller (Intel) but also a discrete ATI card with 1GB of its own memory. I wonder if real-world gaming benchmarks will really have near the promised 3x improvements over the last gen MBP's...

Aren’t prices exactly the same as before?
