The 17-inch MacBook Pro will join the rest of Apple's laptop line in getting a unibody enclosure, as Apple unveiled a new configuration of its largest laptop during the Macworld Expo keynote on Tuesday. Apple bills the updated MacBook Pro as lighter, thinner, faster, more environmentally friendly, and equipped with a unique, long-lasting battery.
The 17-inch MacBook Pro will continue to sell for $2,799. It will ship by the end of January.
The new 17-inch MacBook Pro is less than an inch thick, making it the world's thinnest 17-inch notebook, according to Apple. The company says the 6.6-pound weight also makes it the lightest 17-inch notebook.
In addition to getting the same enclosure that was unveiled for the rest of the MacBook Pro line in October, the new 17-inch model sports a slightly faster Core 2 Duo processor--it runs at 2.66GHz as opposed to the 2.5GHz processor that powered the older 17-inch MacBook Pro. The new system also features 4GB of memory, Nvidia GeForce 9400M and GeForce 9600MT graphics, a 320GB hard drive, and a DVD-burning SuperDrive.
