Intel HD graphics are now used as the lower-powered, energy-saving integrated graphics option, replacing the Nvidia GeForce 9400M used in the late 2009 17-inch MacBook Pro. The Nvidia GeForce GT 330M takes the place of the Nvidia GeForce GT 9600M processor as the higher-powered discrete graphics option. Also new to the 17-inch model are updates to the dual graphics processors and the way you switch between them.
But that’s only the outside-inside the new laptop, a 2.53GHz Intel Core i5 replaces the 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo used previously. To recap the recent changes to Apple’s MacBook Pro line-which also included new versions of the 13-inch MacBook Pro as well as revamped 15-inch models-the new 17-inch looks identical to the $2499 17-inch MacBook Pro released last year. Apple’s latest 17-inch MacBook Pro-released as part of last month’s laptop overhaul-offers an impressive mix of price savings and performance gains over the 17-inch model it replaces.
