Apple Updates MacBook Pro with Sandy Bridge Processors
Apple has announced their new MacBook Pro family which have been updated with next-generation Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 & i7 processors. The newest Apple notebooks will also have AMD Radeon HD 600M graphics processors, FaceTime HD Cameras and newly announced Thunderbolt I/O technology. The notebooks are priced at $1199, $1799, and $2499 for the 13-inch, 15.4-inch, and 17-inch respectively.
MacBook Pro is the first computer on the market to include the groundbreaking Thunderbolt I/O technology. Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt enables expandability never before possible on a notebook computer. Featuring two bi-directional channels with transfer speeds up to an amazing 10Gbps each, Thunderbolt delivers PCI Express directly to external high performance peripherals such as RAID arrays, and can support FireWire and USB consumer devices and Gigabit Ethernet networks via adapters. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays. Freely available for implementation on systems, cables and devices, Thunderbolt technology is expected to be widely adopted as a new standard for high performance I/O.
