Title: Minor update brings performance boost, larger hard drives, and more RAM
Pros: Solid performance; 2GB of RAM standard; larger hard drive than previous model.
Cons: $200 premium for color and larger hard drive; no video adapters or Apple Remote in the box.
Verdict: The $1,099 2.1GHz MacBook comes with 1GB of RAM. The 2.4GHz MacBooks (one white, the other black) come with 2GB; the models they replaced came with 1GB. All MacBooks support to up 4GB of RAM. As before, Apple recommends installing RAM in matched pairs int
Summary: Macworld Lab has been putting the new MacBooks to the test. Benchmarks show that the new MacBooks, based on Intel's new Penryn processor, offer a modest speed increase over the previous MacBooks.

Title: Latest pro laptops offer display advances, new graphics chip
Pros: Classic design; huge screen, with new ultra-high-resolution option; excellent overall performance; much improved graphics performance; 2GB of RAM, which is expandable to 4GB.
Cons: Some software needs tuning for new graphics chip; no PCMCIA slot or eSATA port; large screen inevitably increases size, weight, and price.
Verdict: Now Apple's first Santa Rosa-based laptops-the new 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros-have arrived, yet the improvements turn out to be fairly modest. In fact, the most important refinements in the latest models come not from the new chip set, but from separate
Summary: A hot new graphics chip, improved display technology, and support for more memory top the list of enhancements in Apple's latest MacBook Pro laptops.
