Apple Updates MacBook Pros

2.2 and 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processors, faster AirPort cards, better graphics cards, and support for up to 4 GB of RAM (up from 3 GB in the previous models). The 15-inch displays are now LED-based, and the 17-inch displays are available with 1920 × 1200 resolution (compared to the standard 1680 × 1050); glossy screens are still optional on all models.

Let the tea-leaf-reading begin: Why would Apple announce these today rather than wait until next week’s WWDC keynote? Answer: They must have plenty of other announcements for WWDC.
