Guide to the New MacBooks and MacBook Pros

Apple updated its MacBook and MacBook Pro lines with faster Intel processors and higher capacity hard drives. The MacBook Pros now feature a Multi-Touch trackpad and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with up to 512MB of video memory. The 17-inch MacBook Pro can be ordered with a LED display for the first time.

Apple will continue to offer three MacBook, two 15.4-inch MacBook Pros and one 17-inch MacBook Pro retail configurations. All three notebooks can be customized at Apple’s online store.

If you’re considering switching from a Windows-based notebook to a MacBook for the first time remember that Apple’s a luxury brand and there is no budget MacBook. You may also miss some features which are standard on many PC notebooks that cost much less. None of the new MacBooks or MacBook Pros come with built-in card readers, docking ports, extended battery options or a remote control for example.
