Apple has beefed up its line of MacBook and MacBook Pros this morning with three new MacBooks and three new MacBook Pros. Most notably, the upgrade sees more powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processors and 802.11n wireless networking. Also MacBook Pros get the multi-touch trackpad first seen on the MacBook Air and 802.11n wireless networking.
The MacBook upgrades include a 2.1 GHz model with a 120GB hard drive and 1GB of memory for $1,099. A 2.4 GHz MacBook with 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive is available for $1,299. And finally, a black 2.4 GHz MacBook with 2GB of memory and a 250GB hard drive is available for $1,499.
Optional customization includes up to 4GB of memory and 250GB hard drive on all of the MacBooks.
For the line of MacBook Pros, a 15.4-inch widescreen, 2.4 GHz model with 2GB of memory and a 200GB hard drive is available for $1,999. A 15.4-inch widescreen with a 2.5 GHz processor, 2GB of memory and 250GB hard drive is available for $2,499 and a 17-inch 2.5 GHZ modem with 2GB of memory and a 250GB hard drive is available for $2,799.
The MacBook Pro line also includes the LED-backlit screen and keyboard not included in previous versions. Further customization options include up to a 2.6 GHz processor, 300GB hard drive and more.
For those looking to find something to complain about regarding this release, Apple is no longer including the Apple Remote free with its laptops.
These upgrades by Apple aren't mind-blowing, but its definitely nice to see a little speed boost, but even better to see the multi-touch trackpad to be included in Apple's MacBook Pro laptop selections.

| Do you think the Macbooks will get the multi-touch trackpads and LED-backlit screen in the next update, which according to what I have been reading is in June. Thoughts.... |
