Apple MacBook Pro 15' 2.0 Ghz / 2.2 GHz / 2.3GHz review
New quad-core Intel Core i7 processors are standard on the 15-inch MacBook Pro. All the models use Intel's recently refined chipsets. So what does all that mean for the new MacBook Pro models? Bottom line: They perform up to twice as fast as the previous generation, breezing through demanding tasks like editing HD video, compiling audio, or rendering a multilayered image file. And since Mac OS X Snow Leopard is designed to take advantage of every processor core, it captures every last bit of performance from the processor.
