New Core 2 Duo-Based MacBook Pros

New 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros, based on the latest mobile processors from Intel. Now take up to 3 GB of SO-DIMM memory, up from the 2 GB limit that dates back to the PowerBooks. Also available: a 200 GB hard drive as a BTO option. The standard drives are 120 GB on the 15-inch models, 160 GB on the 17-inch. Oh, and they’ve re-added FireWire 800 ports across the entire family.
