Apple refreshes MacBook Pro line with minor upgrades, no price rise - CNET

he rumors of Apple's updated MacBook Pro line were true -- after a brief downtime, the Apple Store's back up with new MacBook Pros.

Unlike the previous two years, Apple didn't make any Mac hardware announcements at its WWDC keynote this year, which left users eagerly waiting for news of new Pros. Fans of the aluminum-cladlaptops may be a little disappointed, however, as Apple has given the new MacBooks only a minor speed boost.

Both new 15-inch models now come with 16GB RAM as default, which should help with performance, but Apple has kept to the same prices, or even less in some cases, so you get better hardware for the same amount of cash.

The new 13-inch models start at $1,299 in the US, £999 in the UK and AU$1,599 in Australia. The high-end 15-inch version will set you back $2,499, £1,999 or AU$2,999 -- $100 less than it used to.
