MacBook Pro: Faster than expected. Apple today said in this press release that they're glad to announce that the 1.67 and 1.83 GHz MacBook Pro are now in fact shipping as 1.83 and 2.0 GHz MBPs. Plus: At the online store, you can BTO a 2.16 GHz version, too. (Adds 300 USD, though.)
As of now, the updated processors are only available in the US online store, but are expected to trickle to the other countries' Apple websites today and tomorrow.
So either intel suddenly has more highend-parts or Apple found the lower-end parts underperforming. ;) Good news for those who've already ordered one, I'd say. Unless you really, really want the 2.16 GHz version, that is. - posted by Patrick Armbruster @ 15:32 [article link]
