Apple MacBook Pro 2008 Edition (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD) review

Updated CPUs, improved battery life, adds touch pad gestures from the MacBook Air

Small performance premium over the cheaper 13-inch MacBook ; only 90 days of toll-free technical support ; still no SD card reader

A solid, if predictable, upgrade to the MacBook Pro line, but noteworthy for stealing the MacBook Air's best feature--expanded gesture controls for the touch pad.

Updated CPUs and graphics without an updated price ; LED-backlit display for better battery life ; 802.11n support

Minimal configuration options ; only 90 days of toll-free technical support ; still no media card reader

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

System configurations:Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz OS X 10.4.8; 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700; 2048MB DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz; 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT; 160GB Hitachi 5,400rpmApple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.3GHz OS X 10.4.8; 2.33GHz Intel...

Apple MacBook Pro 2007 Edition (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 17-Inch Screen)

The design remains the same, but under the hood Apple's MacBook Pro laptops received a jolt by way of faster processors, a new chipset, and--depending on the screen size--either new screen technology or the option for a higher resolution. Those pining ...

The new Core 2 Duo processors added to the line are a 2.2GHz chip in the lower-end 15-inch MacBook Pro and a 2.4GHz chip in the higher-end 15-inch model and the 17-inch model. Following on the heels of last month's update to the lower-end MacBook...

By Cisco Cheng

Rarely does Apple update an entire line of laptops in one fell swoop. While the new aluminum MacBooks didn't come as a surprise, a new MacBook Pro seemed like a long shot. This latest crop of MacBook Pros benefit from a new manufacturing process and ...

Now less than one inch thick. Design has no equal. Switchable graphics. Gesture and clickable touchpad. Still the lightest 15-inch laptop. Gorgeous glass screen. Illuminated keyboard. Excellent typing experience

Lacks a built-in media card reader. Features aren't the strongest. Pricey

The MacBook Pro is a design marvel like no other, but you can find better features elsewhere.

If you had to make a list of pros and cons for the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Dual Graphics), anything involving design would occupy one through ten on the list of pros. The Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Dual Graphics, $2,499) is an amazing piece of...
