You can now spec 4 gig too :) You can also spec a high res 1920x1200 panel for the 17" one, have you always been able to do that? I've only ever seen them with 1680x1050 screens.

The hi res screen is definately new :D

Also, theyve added a 7200rpm 160GB drive, which is a nice touch!

I take it the 4gig ram is now fully supported then? \0/

Damn, a 17 incher, 1920x1200 with the 7200 hd and 4 gigs ram would be fairly smokin'. :)

I'm going to order one with that spec after WWDC..

Wonder if any Apple stores would consider a part ex for my 17" MBP ;)
 
I must admit, I have a top spec 17 MBP and there isn't enough in the new release (with the exception of the hi-res display) to make me feel dissapointed with what I already have. Perhaps if they could have crammed more graphics ram into the beast then I would be tempted but as it stands I won't be upgrading until the next round. :)
 
They optional screen upgrades for the 17" too.

The standard 1680 x 1050 resolution on the 17-inch MacBook Pro offers as many pixels as the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display.

By upgrading the display resolution to 1920 x 1200 pixels, you'll enjoy a workspace with 30% more pixels than the standard model, or as many pixels as the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. You'll have more space for palettes and windows, and you can watch 1080 HD video content at full resolution.

It's roughly the normal price minus the VAT.
 
From apple procureweb the base spec is £1,104.50

Screen resolutions seem to be the same as previously, though 2GB RAM seems to be the base level as opposed to 1GB with the previous incarnation
 
i cba to set up the proxy as i'll no longer need it in 2 days time, and i'm far too lazy to phone up when ive been given the answer here in a few seconds :D

Cheers M0KUJ1N, nice price:) think i'll go for it

and apparently according to macrumours they do have the LED backlighting on the 15" models. though i dont see it anywhere in the specs.

EDIT - found it in the apple press release

I remember you saying you can get away with HE discount? How do you do it?

Just ring up and pretend you're a HE student.

Like-wise you could always order off a university campus network :cool:

UPDATED OP to reflect new specs.

Surely they will ask for some sort of proof?
