MacBook Pro 15 inch (Core i7 - Sandy Bridge) Review

Here is the review for the new refresh of Apple's Macbook Pro. These new Macbooks run on the new Intel Core i7 and i5 Sandy Bridge processors with Intel Integrated Graphics HD. Other new additions include the switch from Nvidia discrete graphics to AMD Radeon graphics. Facetime for the Macbook is also available on the iTunes store for 1 dollar and the laptops now all contain a 720 built in webcam that is optimized for Facetime. Another addition is the new Thunderbolt port which features Intel's new Lightpeak technology. This new port features 10GB dual streaming and is compatible with devices that contain a mini display port.

a 15 inch laptop with a tiny hard drive at a slow speed with an underpowered GPU that STARTS at over 1700 dollars. Thanks but no thanks? I like the mac interface but you lose so much power and it costs so much.

@icoopers Nice. But I bought the 15 inch Pro so I can get used to it for College I was original going to buy it in May. But I got it in december because it was my first Mac. I knew Apple would make something but it was hard to predict when. Because They made the New iphone 4 for Verizon, Ipad 2, Ipad Nano, 4th Gen Ipod Touch. So I thought the MacBooks wouldn't arrive this quickly

@nintendo007 LOL I actually skipped this last Christmas MBPs I have asked santa to bring bc I knew something way better was coming for the same price. Instead, I got cash and bought two a pair of G-Tech hard drives with 2 Tb each I always wanted.
