Apple refreshed every MacBook Pro in the lineup. The 15-inch MacBook pro now has a non-removable lithium-polymer battery which lasts for 7 hours, according to the company, which is two hours longer than the company's claims for its previous battery technology. The battery will last for 1000 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years.  The computer's thickness and weight hasn't changed, but the display shows a 60% bigger color gamut. In addtion, Apple removed the ExpressCard slot from the computer (apparently fewer than 1% of users actually used this port), and added an SD card slot. This is the first time Apple has included an SD card slot in a computer. This computer can be upgraded to include a 3.06 GHZ dual core processor, up to 6GB of 1066 MHZ RAM, and a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive (or, alternatively, a 256GB solid state drive). The starting price of the MacBook Pro 15-inch is $1,699, which is $300 less than the computer's previous price. All MacBook Pro updates announced at the keynote are available in computers shipping June 8.

Awesome new phone. Just wish Apple didn't signed an exclusive deal with AT&T otherwise I'd buy one. I know you can jailbreak the phones but that's something we shouldn't have to deal with.

I agree if they had opened it up the iPhone would be dominating the whole market. But that's just my thoughts on it.

"The battery will last for 100 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years".... I think that's 1000 recharges.
