As anticipated (and remember, it's "new release day" Tuesday in the US), Apple this morning revved its range of MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks.All Apple laptops except the MacBook Air now ship standard with the latest Intel Penryn CPUs (offering lower power consumption), bigger hard drives, more memory and better built-to-order options. The new MacBook
Pro features a multi-touch
trackpad.
They also feature a full range of ports, unlike the Air, including 802.11n, Bluetooth, 2x USB and 1 x Firewire 400, while the Pro has 1 x Firewire 800 and ExpressCard 34 and full-size DVI as well. Disappointingly Apple still hasn't seen fit to add ExpressCard to the basic MacBook, which means MacBook owners' only option for mobile broadband is the annoying USB soap-on-a-rope modems, or a Bluetooth connection to their mobile phone (which is a distinctly third-grade option.)
