Apple Unveils New MacBook Pros

Today Apple announced upgrades to the MacBook Pro line. It's pretty slick. There are a few things that I really like about the machine:

  • Core i7 - this will give me single-threaded performance of a 3.33GHz machine and when that's not needed, four cores (2 physical + 2 HT).
  • New Graphics with Dynamic Change - no need to change the GPU you want to use in System Preferences and logout/login - the GPU is now automatically chosen based on the load. Plus, it's a faster, better GPU for the OpenCL bits.
  • 512GB SSD - this is amazing to me: 512GB and SSD. That means all the space I have now and it's all a lot faster. Amazing.

Of course, it's not cheap, but then again, they never are. They are, however, the best laptops on the market. Amazingly Cool.
