THE NEW MACBOOK PROS HAVE BEEN REVILED

Apple refreshes MacBook Pro family with Sandy Bridge processors, Thunderbolt I/O tech, and FaceTime HD cameras

Breaking Ne

Come on, you knew this was coming! Oh yes, Apple's pulling the curtain off its new MacBook Pro family, and compared to the last refresh cycle, there are a serious amount of updates. Just as we had heard all three will be getting new Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 processors, AMD 6000M graphics (bye bye, NVIDIA!), FaceTime HD cameras, and some super fast Thunderbolt I/O transfer speeds. There are two new 13-inchers, two 15.4-inch versions, and one lone 17-inch model. 

Developing... 

• 13-inch MacBook Pro - Both 13-inchers are available with Core i5 processors. The lower end model starts at $1,199 and features a 2.4GHz dual-core Core i5 processor and 320GB hard drive. Going up to the 2.7GHz dual-core Core i5 CPU and 500GB hard drive will set you back $1,499. This duo doesn't get the AMD graphics treatment like the others -- it just relies on Intel's new powerful HD 3000 graphics.

• 15-inch MacBook Pro - These two get the Core i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6000M goods. The $1,799 model packs a 2.0GHz quad-core Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon HD6490M graphics, and a 500GB hard drive. On the higher end, there's a $2,199 model which buys you a faster 2.2GHz Core i7 chip, AMD Radeon 6750M graphics and 750GB hard drive.

• 17-inch MacBook Pro - Last but not least you've got the all-powerful 17-incher, which basically has the same specs as that high end 15-incher -- for $2,499 you get that same 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon 6750M graphics and a 750GB hard drive.
