While everyone is paying attention to Apple’s “Back to the Mac” press conference, Apple slyly updated their MacBook Pro lineup, which wasn’t announced in the conference. Specifically, the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro laptops can now be had with a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor, a bump from the previous 2.66GHz processor model. That’ll top up about $200 more (or RM644) than the previous top-of-the-line i7 processor offered.

A pretty pricey upgrade for some small 140MHz boost, but after looking around, this SHOULD be the Intel Core i7-640M processor announced just last month, and this little baby can juice up to a screaming 3.4GHz when under steroid load. That’s a pretty decent speed for a laptop.
