Apple updated MacBooks and MacBook Pros

2004–09November 2, 2007Bill FoxApple hardware
Apple bumped up the top CPU speed of the MacBook and MacBook Pro lines, the former to 2.2GHz and the latter to 2.6GHz but as a $250 CTO option. Now, both model lines use the latest "Santa Rosa" Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs with a faster frontside bus and supporting up to 4GB RAM. They also received larger 250GB 5400rpm CTO hard drives for $150-225 depending on model.

The biggest news in the update is that the MacBooks get improved Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics with 144MB of shared RAM in place of the GMA 950 with 64MB of shared RAM.

The price tiers remain the same for both lines. No word on the Mac mini line. [Bill Fox]
