Kind of snore, but at least it's finally here! One more USB port for all the yuppies who wanted more, and we still get FireWire 800. :D

standard specs are: 17 inch screen, 2.16 ghz core duo (not upgradable) 1 gb ram (upgradable to 2), and 120 gig 5400 rpm hard drive or 100 gig 7200 rpm hard drive.

just 300 dollars more than the 15" and with faster processor, biiger hard drive, dl superdrive (must be possible within the inch then) and FW800. Can't complain about that.

8x dual layer superdrive too, unlike the 4x single layer in the 15". Good to see FW800 there.

Funniest thing is the pricing.
A 15.4" with the 2.16 BTO and 120GB HD comes in at Eur 2,924.68
A 17" with same spec costs Eur 2,694.67
250 Euro cheaper than the 15" ??? That's fecked up. I suspect Apple are going to have to do some price re-structuring in its 15" range as it does not represent good value in its current form.

nothing too unexpected here. Glad to see Apple is ahead of the game and getting more Intel Macs out on the market.

That price seems low when you compare it to the 15". Upgrade the 15" to match the 2.16Ghz and 120Gb HDD of the 17" and it comes out £60 more (UK pricing) and you then get the extra ports, screen and DL 8xSuperdrive on top. I hope this means the 15" is due a price drop.

3x USB, FW800 and double layer burning, exactly the features that are missing from the 15"...
