Apple has released new versions of Macbook Pro which is available in 13, 15 and 17 inch with awesome processing power with the help of Core i5 and Core i7 processors. Both of the processors are in the top line of Intel currently and have more than enough processing power required by a notebook.

The price set by Apple for 17 inch Macbook Pro is $2299 while the price of 15 inch Macbook Pro is $1799. The 13-inch model starts at $1199.

The other highlighted features in this new series of Macbook Pro besides the Intel Core i7 processors is its powerful NVIDIA graphics card, which will bring your video rendering and photo-editing to a new life. Since not lot of games are supported on Mac platform, this won’t be of much advantage to gamers, but it surely is a feature for a reasonable price that comes handy.

The other salient feature of Macbook pro is its longer battery life, upto 10 hours and its aluminum unibody enclosure.
