Powered by a 2.16 GHz Intel Dual Core processor, the 17 inch model bundles 1GB of memory running at 667 Mhz, an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 256MB video memory, two firewire ports (one 400 and one 800 Mbps), three 480-Mbps USB 2.0 ports, an ExpressCard slot, 120 GB hard drive, 8x DVD+R Dual Layer super drive and a built-in iSight camera.
The display resolution is a massive 1680x1050 and Apple claims a 5.5 hours of battery life with a 68-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery. Needless to say the 17 inch Macbook Pro is sexier than the previous Powerbook and still retains the 1-inch thickness size inspite of all the new goodies. Sure it's expensive at $2799, but if looks can kill and power can corrupt, then this is the machine.
We only wish it could have been lighter, at 6.8 pounds it's almost 3 pounds heavier than the 15-inch Macbook Pro that makes we will need a 'porter' to carry this one!
