My [ZOMG NEW MACS] Post

Yes ladies and gentlemen Apple has once again raised the bar of both design and technology to bring us the latest round of scrumptious looking machines that not only look good, but perform really well. It really seems like Apple has thrown in the towel when it comes to product information leaks and that sort of put a damper on things for me, because all those supposed rumours and pictures of the "new machine" that were plastered all over geeksville proved to be true. But that still doesn't detract from the wonderful machines that are available in the US right now (for us Malaysians, expect to wait like 2~4 weeks... Or more). So, you may ask where's the beef? Well I'm getting to it.

Firstly, we have the new MacBook Pro's


2 new configurations are available. With all the new-fangledness that befits an Apple keynote.

- $1999 will get you a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB's of RAM, 250GB Hard disk, a 15.4" Glossy Display and *TWO* Graphics cards (yes you heard me right, T-frickin'-W-O!). You get what they call hybrid SLI which is an NVIDIA 9400M Integrated Graphics Card + an NVIDIA 9600M GT Discrete Graphics Card with 256MB's of graphic memory.
- $2499 will get you a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB's of RAM, 320GB Hard disk, a 15.4" Glossy Display and the same Hybrid SLI Graphics solution as above only with 512MB's of graphic memory.
- The 17" MacBookPro retains its current look but with updated specs.

Next, we have new MacBooks. Basically they look like MacBookPro Juniors. Honest!

Tada! Looks the same doesn't it. Just smaller. They come with a 13.3" Display and the 2 new configurations are offered above the current White MacBook.

- $999 will get you the old white MacBook with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB of RAM, 120GB Hard disk, Intel GMAX3100 Integrated Graphics Card.
- $1299 will get you the new MacBook with a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB's of RAM, 160GB Hard disk, an NVIDIA 9400M Integrated Graphics Card.
- $1599 will get you a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB's of RAM, 250GB Hard disk, and an NVIDIA 9400M Integrated Graphics Card.
- Curiously gone is the so called "BlackBook". Oh well...
