The MacBook Pro ushers in a new era for Apple laptops. The most important difference between the MacBook Pro and older PowerBooks and iBooks is the inclusion of an Intel Core Duo processor. According the Apple, "It's actually two processors built into a single chip, which makes this by far the biggest leap in mobile Mac power you've ever seen." Other new additions include a built-in iSight camera, Front Row and Apple Remote, iLife '06, and new power adapter with MagSafe Connector (a magnetic DC plug that both ensures a tight connection and enables a clean break from the power port when there is undue tension). Basic specifications are as follows:

The MacBook Pro is available for order from The Apple Store today. It's expected to ship in February.

The MacBook Pro also features a full-size backlit keyboard, AirPort Extreme wireless networking (802.11b/g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, ExpressCard/34 slot, dual-link DVI video out, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and optical digital and analog audio in/out.
