MacBook Pros get update

Along with the introduction of new consumer MacBooks, the company also updated the speeds of the 15-inch MacBook Pro processors. The $1,999 MacBook Pro now ships with a 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo processor, while the $2,499 model now ships with a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo chip. The company also added a new "Glossy" display option to its build-to-order options for both the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro at the Apple Store. Apple says the glossy widescreen display, which ships standard with the new consumer MacBooks, makes graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer color and deeper blacks and is "great for watching DVD movies. If you prefer a display with anti-glare coating for a matte rather than glossy viewing experience, choose the standard widescreen display." The gloss display is available at no extra charge from the Apple Store. The new faster MacBook Pros are available for immediately delivery.
