| MacBook Pro line updated Slightly higher clock speeds (2.2gHz & 2.4gHz vs. 2.16gHz & 2.33gHz) on the Santa Rosa chipset, larger bus (800mHz vs. 667mHz), 4GB memory capacity (was 3GB), and nVidia 8600m GT graphics. The 15" model gets a LED-backlight display, while the 17" model gets a $100 built-to-order 1900x1200 option (17" is still florescent backlight). http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/

| Does the increased FSB Speed improve performance given that the RAM still runs at 667mhz?

| The nvidia graphics will really help those using linux as well. ATI support is not good for linux. I'm wondering how long it will be before the upgrades trickle to the macbook. I just bought one (doh!).

| Well, the MacBook's just been updated as well, so it'll probably be at least 6 months until the MacBooks get "the upgrades" (and they probably won't get the graphics card, of course).

| I'm interested to know what kind of affect the new LED displays will have on battery life. As of now I get between 2-3 hours from my MacBook Pro depending on usage.
