New MacBook and MacBook Pro

MBPNewWell in true form of a post-Apple store closure – Apple has released details of how they have refreshed their MacBook and MacBook Pro line.

Boosting the processor speeds and giving the Pros that tasty multi-touch the MacBook Air has been tarting about.

Updates to the GPU, an optional LED backlight for 17-inchers, as well as LEDs on all the rest of the Pros and of course the uprated topspeeds.

The new specs on the MBPs include a speed tweak to a base of 2.4GHz all the way up to 2.6GHz, a mysteriously familiar 3MB or 6MB L2 cache on the CPU, added RAM to the graphics card (up to 512MB for the 17-inch model), and of course the new touchy-pad.

It’s a little leap but no doubt will have Mac Fans salivating!  :0P
