When the latest 13- and 15-inch MacBooks were announced in October 2008, a similar revamp of the larger 17-inch version of the MacBook Pro was conspicuously missing from the lineup. In January of 2009, Apple announced the 17-inch model would be getting the same "unibody" aluminum chassis, buttonless (or more accurately, all-button) touchpad, and edge-to-edge glass on the LED backlit display. It's actually taken until late February for the systems to start shipping, but finally big-screen fans can get all the latest and greatest Apple improvements in a desktop replacement form factor, starting at $2,799.

Internally, Apple has moved to an Nvidia chipset with improved integrated graphics, which is then paired with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics card that can be turned off and on as needed to improve battery life or boost performance.

The MacBook Pro, while expensive, remains a go-to for media professionals, and the new 17-inch version will be an especially welcome addition for photo and video types who have wanted the latest graphics, chassis, and touchpad upgrades in an HD-friendly 1,920x1,200 package.

  • i've bought a macbook pro 13" , a still no warnings and viruses .

  • mac is the best

  • for those who want to knock Apple go ahead see sales are the highest and less repairs so don't knock what you can't afford

  • I want to get used cheap mac (It would be the first one) If I will like it I would get a MacBook Pro aluminium

    So... what mac should I get? iBook? Macbook?

  • @sbowesuk apple r pc to theres no different between apple and other desktop such as alienware dell hp etc... here all the same there all pc computers desktop laptop there not different. but i really like dell the best

  • Considering how much this costs, its specs are seriously lame compared to a similarly priced PC laptop.

    Not hating on Apple here. Just pointing out that you're paying hundreds of dollars for a shiny Apple logo. No really.

  • i like macs, but i don't get why everyone constantly talks about how PC's are slow, and get viruses. Ive been with windows for about 6 years never once had a virus (and i normally don't bother with antivirus) and as for speed, my £340 PC (brand new) is as fast as anything :) I love them both, just saying

  • @Maybach4ever got fuck yourself german piece of shit macs are for mindless idiots like u

  • congratulations dipshit u just bought a 600$ laptop with 2000$

    PS stop kissing steve jobs in the ass
