Another Macbook pro? May 5, 2006

Yep. But this time with a twist! This Macbook pro has a 36 percent brighter 17 inch screen. Designed for business and creative professionals, the new 17-inch MacBook Pro includes an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 PCI Express graphics with 256MB of dedicated GDDR3 graphics memory for demanding professional applications, and a Scrolling TrackPad to easily scroll through long web pages or pan across large photographs.

Providing industry-leading connectivity and high-performance I/O, every new 17-inch MacBook Pro also includes a FireWire® 800 port, a FireWire 400 port, three USB 2.0 ports, optical and digital audio input and output, built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), and integrated AirPort Extreme 54 Mbps 802.11g WiFi wireless networking.

Don’t expect this package (especially from Apple) at a low price. The retail price for this portable desktop is $2,799 (US).
