Default MacBook Pros Updated

Before this goes any further...

- We know MacBooks are expensive.
- We know Mac OS X is different than Windows.
- We know Apple does... whatever the topic du jour is.

Moving on...

Quote:
Apple today updated the MacBook Pro line with faster processors, powerful next-generation NVIDIA graphics and even longer battery life. The popular 13-inch MacBook Pro features the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor for up to 80 percent faster graphics and a groundbreaking 10-hour built-in battery. The new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models feature Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and Apple's new automatic graphics switching technology that toggles seamlessly between powerful NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and energy efficient Intel HD Graphics processors.
Some positives:

- Core i procesors.
- Love that you don't have to relog to switch graphics cards now.
- 512MB SSDs
- 10, 9 and 8 hour batteries.
- Inertial scrolling, though I don't know what it is yet. Sounds cool though

Some negatives:

- Only one drive bay in the 17".
- Max 512MB graphics memory.
- Nvidia instead of ATI.
