Apple Introduces 17-inch MacBook Pro

Apple PR:

Apple today unveiled its new 17-inch MacBook Pro notebook computer featuring the Intel Core Duo processor and an all new system architecture that delivers up to five times the performance of the PowerBook G4. The new 17-inch MacBook Pro features a stunning aluminum enclosure just one inch thin, weighs only 6.8 pounds, includes a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing on-the-go, and the breakthrough Front Row media experience with Apple Remote. The new 17-inch MacBook Pro also features a MagSafe Power Adapter, invented by Apple especially for mobile users.

The new 17-inch MacBook Pro includes a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor that delivers dual-core performance in a breakthrough power-efficient design ... and offers an all new system architecture including a 667 MHz front-side bus.

So it doesn't appear that there's anything particularly new going on here, but I'll need some time to go over the specs and compare it to the previous version and to the existing MacBook Pro. My guess is there won't be any surprises.
