Thats how Apple has named its strongest version of the 15" MacBook Pro with a 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo and a 512 MB GeForce 9600M GT. The refresh of midyear 2009 has brought a new display with an extendable color space, a SD cardreader and an integrated...

The 15in Apple MacBook Pro seems larger than it is. This is a good thing. Given that the overall design of the MacBook Pro is unchanged, the updates to the model line are evolutionary. It's the price cuts that, for Apple, border on the revolutionary...
