Macworld's 15-inch MacBook Pro/2.66GHz Coverage
-
15-inch MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo/2.66GHz As far as upgrades go, the top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro’s makeover is far from extreme. But we’re not going to complain if Apple chooses to gently goose the processor speed a little bit without expecting a dime more for the effort. -
15-inch MacBook Pro/2.66GHz Essentially a replacement for the 2.53GHz unibody 15-inch model released in the fall of 2008, this MacBook Pro features the same processor speed as the 17-inch laptop. Otherwise, this 15-inch model is no different than what came before, with two graphics chips-one integrated in the motherboard (GeForce 9400M) and the other discrete (GeForce 9600M GT)--and a glossy screen.
