    The 15-inch MacBook Pro has been updated with faster second-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors and AMD Radeon discrete graphics, replacing Nvidia. It features the new Thunderbolt high-speed port technology. Testing showed strong performance from the powerful 2.2GHz Core i7 and 1GB AMD Radeon 6750M graphics. The iconic aluminum design remains along with the large trackpad, but most ports are the same except for the new Thunderbolt port.

    The recommendation :

    The 15-inch MacBook Pro moves from Intel's original Core i-series CPUs to the latest second-
    generation chips, formerly code-named Sandy Bridge. Not only that, you can forget about seeing an
    Intel Core i5 CPU in your 15-inch (or 17-inch) MacBook Pro--these use high-end quad-core Core i7
    chips now. Our step-up $2,199 review unit had a 2.2GHz quad-core i7, with 4GB of RAM and a huge
    750GB hard drive at only 5,400rpm .
    The biggest surprise is the 15-inch MacBook Pro's graphics processor. Instead of the Nvidia GeForce
    330M graphics card previously found in these systems, the GPUs now come from Nvidia's longtime
    rival AMD. The base 15-inch model has an AMD Radeon HD 6490M, and our review unit had an even
    faster 6750M. With Intel's improved integrated graphics in the 13-inch models, that means that Nvidia
    has been completely ousted from the MacBook Pro line.
    The iconic unibody aluminum construction remains, as does the large glass multitouch trackpad.
    Most of the ports and connections also remain the same, with one very notable new addition. Where
    the Mini DisplayPort connection used to be, now an identically sized port is marked with a lightning-
    bolt icon. That's for Thunderbolt, Intel's new high-speed powered-port technology for data transfer
    and displays. The Thunderbolt tech is envisioned as a sort of future unified successor to USB, FireWire,
    and DisplayPort, allowing peripherals to carry data and video at 10Gbps (in the video above, we may
    have had a slip of the tongue and said Mbps, but we meant Gbps).
    For now, at least, that promise is hypothetical. We have very little idea of exactly when Thunderbolt-
    compatible peripherals will be available (although Apple says the first ones should show up in the
    spring of 2011), how much they'll cost, or if Apple will be adding the technology to future displays or
    iOS devices. For now, it's a wait-and-see gamble on a future technology.
    The lowest-cost 15-inch MacBook Pro is still $1,799, following the usual Apple trajectory of keeping
    the price steady but adding faster, more powerful components. While we're still waiting for oft-
    requested extras such as HDMI, Blu-ray, and 3G, the speed and power of these new quad-core Core i7
    CPUs is extremely impressive, and leaves even other recent MacBook Pros in the dust.
