All systems have a full-sized, backlit keyboard, as well as glass multi-touch trackpads with gesture support. The glossy LED backlit screens each measure 13.3-, 15.4-, and 17-inches diagonally, with 1280-by-800, 1440-by-900, and 1920-by-1200 pixel resolutions, respectively.

The $1199 entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro upgrades its 2.3GHz dual-core Core i5 processor to a faster 2.4GHz dual-core Core i5 chip its 320GB hard drive has been swapped out for a 500GB model. While MacBook Pro prices stayed the same as the models introduced earlier this year, the components inside received subtle-yet welcome-updates. While the improvements in the new MacBook Pros are modest when compared to the models they replace, there’s plenty to like about the upgrades-especially if you’re the owner of an older laptop and you’re mulling an upgrade. And truth be told, it wasn’t the flashiest update Apple has ever made to its portable lineup, with new processors and graphics highlighting the changes.
Last week’s announcement of updates to the MacBook Pro was so low-key you might have missed it.
