No mere speed bump, these new MacBooks bring Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors chipsets to the entire line, replacing the previous Arrandale processors and finally retiring the aging Core 2 Duo from service in the 13-inch model.Ĭontrary to earlier reports, there are no default SSD configurations although the solid state offerings are still optional. The Apple online store also has immediate availability. Apple retail stores received stock prior to today and began selling product immediately. There was no scheduled press event and nothing more than a press release announcing the specs and availability. The update was unusually quiet for Apple.


As expected, Apple today unveiled a range of speed and functionality improvements for its MacBook Pro lineup.
