APPLE MACBOOK PRO 2008 EDITION-SIMPLY BRILLIANT !

Apple has made its first update to the venerable MacBook line since the introduction of the MacBook Air. Regular 13-inch MacBooks get the usual CPU upgrade, but the MacBook Pro line gets a notable internal overhaul--including new Penryn-class Intel CPUs, new touch pad gestures (lifted from the MacBook Air), and finally a backlit LED option for the 17-inch models, something already standard for 15-inchers. Probably the biggest change is how the revamped trackpad is now works with multitouch gestures, much like the MacBook Air. Originally, you could do things like use two fingers to scroll through documents--now Pro users can use three fingers to go forward and back in Safari's browser history, and use a thumb and forefinger to zoom in and out of documents and photos--much like on the iPhone. If you're looking to step up from a first-gen Macbook Pro or earlier machine, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The update may simply be more of an incremental step up for others. If you feel you need LED backlighting (vice the CCFL tubes) you should consider either 15.4" MBP option or the hi-res screen with the 17". Despite some initial concerns that the revamped MacBook Pro offered less battery life, battery life goes to an impressive 4 hours and 23 minutes what is SIMPLY BRILLIANT !
