Apple just announced the new 17″ MacBook Pro with the Aluminum Unibody and non-removable battery which will be available in late January.
This new MacBook Pro will utilize the same unibody construction as the 15″ MacBook Pro and 13″ MacBook, the 17″ MacBook Pro will be available in a single alterable configuration for $2799 including the following:
- Three USB ports
- Mini DisplayPort
- Firewire 800 (no 400)
- Digital audio in/out
- Expresscard
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Magsafe
- $50 anti-glare option available
Like the 15″ MacBook Pro, the notebook includes both 9400M and 9600M graphic and a glass button-less trackpad. 320GB HDD standard with a 256GB SSD upgrade available. RAM can be upgraded to 8GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 memory.
Just like the rumors said, the new MacBook Pro has a longer-lasting battery which will run for up to 8 hours, but is now non-removable. Apple claims the battery can take up to 1000 charges and will run up to 5 years. Apple is also offering a take-back and recycling program if you need to replace the battery. The only problem I see with this is if you’re on the road and you have no way to charge your MacBook Pro, It would really suck if you don’t have a spare battery to replace it. [Apple]
