Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M w/ 512MB) first look

Of Apple's MacBook Pro lineup, only the two 15-inch models received the complete workup today. By now, you're probably aware of the design changes, which include a new "unibody" chassis, new buttonless multitouch trackpad, the addition of a mini DisplayPort, and the subtraction of the FireWire 400 port. Let's take a closer look at the changes under the hood.

Pricing remains the same, with $1,999 and $2,499 default configurations. The biggest change is the move away from Intel and to the Nvidia GeForce 9400M chipset and the introduction of a dual-graphics setup that lets you switch between integrated 9400M graphics and discrete GeForce 9600M GT graphics (either a 256MB or a 512MB card). The higher-end model now ships with 4GB of RAM by default, and doubling the RAM on the lower-end model is $50 cheaper, at $150. The CPUs remain largely unchanged, but now operate on a faster 1066MHz bus. The $2,499 MacBook Pro lets you upgrade to a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo for $300; previously, the fastest chip offered was a 2.6GHz processor. Larger 320GB hard drives are now offered, including a 7200rpm unit, as is a 128GB solid-state drive.

@secretlycrushonyou only the late 08 2.53 has the 9600M GT 512MB.

Yours is probably a mid 09 2.53 (which is the low end 15"), that only comes with a 9400M with 256MB shared memory.
