Today Apple announced the new 17-inch Unibody MacBook Pro ($2,800) which features the same rock-solid unibody aluminum construction as its 15- and 13-inch brothers, but includes a slew of upgrades, including a 17-inch 1920×1200 LED-backlit display, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB hard drive standard with the option for a 256GB SSD, a Core 2 Duo processor running at speeds of up to 2.93 GHz, the new Mini DisplayPort connector, and a revolutionary new built-in battery that delivers up to eight hours of use and up to 1,000 recharges for more than three times the lifespan of normal laptop batteries. All that, in the world’s lightest, thinnest 17-inch notebook.
