Calling Captain Obvious, 17-inch MacBook Pro is larger than 15-inch MacBook Pro.

I thought that I would never figure this out, but thanks to AppleInsider I finally understand.

Disadvantages of the 17″ MacBook Pro

Apart from being $300 more, the 17″ version is a pound heavier than the 15″ model and 1.1″ wider and 0.7″ deeper (it’s also a hair thicker). It won’t fit into sleeves for 15″ models, and won’t fit into a variety of bags or backpacks intended for “regular sized” laptops.

Once again, thanks AppleInsider for pointing out that 17-inch MacBook Pro is larger and heavier than its 15-inch counterpart. You know how much I hate having MacBook Pro with smaller screen to be bigger and heavier than the one with larger screen. What an observation! Without this information I’d be cursing the day while trying to fit the 17-inch MacBook Pro into a 15-inch MacBook Pro sleeve.

Apple debuts new MacBook Pro models with Intel Core i5 and i7.

Apple finally introduces 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models with Intel Core i5 and i7. The 15-inch and 17-inch models come with nVidia 330M and Intel HD Graphics. Apple includes automatic graphics switching between the Intel HD Graphics and nVidia 330M. According to report by AppleInsider, nVidi confirms that the fast graphics switching is not Optimus technology.

13-inch MacBook Pro models come with nVidia 320M while still sporting Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

The 15-inch model is also available with higher resolution display at 1680-by-1050 pixels.

Waiting for New MacBook Pro to appear on Apple Store today? Don’t hold your breath.

The rumor is still alive and kicking. Maybe this Tuesday Apple would release the new Core i5/i7/i405 MacBook Pros. Well, I’ve been waiting for the 72-core MacBook Pro for a long time. I’m due for a new Computer, and I want another MacBook Pro. The last purchase I made was 4 years ago when the first generation MacBook Pro was released.

OK, I have seen some Core i7 laptops and so far I am not impressed. HP Envy 15 is a disaster. No optical drive, horribly unusable trackpad and not worth the sticker price.

Come on Apple, where’s my Core i37 MacBook Pro? Yeah, the one with 73-core CPU.

You can go back to sleep now, and stop F5-ing the Apple Store page.

February 09, 2010 – Apple Store is Down for Updates.

Update: Apple introduces Aperture 3

It’s 4:00 AM and I’m still awake, don’t know why.

Anyway, Apple Store is down for updates. I bet they’re going to add the fabled 16-core MacBook Pro today…errr…that doesn’t really exist. I’m really hoping a Quad-Core MacBook Pro.

Based on the circulating rumors, Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro is coming really soon.

Now, if only I could get that one company the salary they owe me, I could immediately buy the 16-core MacBook Pro.
