Apple updates MacBook Pro line

The MacBook Pros have been solid selling upscale laptops for Apple Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). The switch to Intel chips increased speed and added the ability to dual-boot windows. Now Apple has added the Intel Core 2 Duo processor to the professional laptop lineup at 2.16 or 2.33 gigahertz to give the laptops a stated 37% speed boost.

The new laptops also feature more storage and memory, Apple handing out 1 gigabyte of RAM with the base model, and a 2 gigabytes on up.

The new update also features a firewire 800 port. This is a good sign that Apple is listening to a lot of its consumers who are still invested in Firewire, as well as realizing that the professionally-oriented userbase of these laptops demand more RAM.
