- While the core element of the MacBook Pro hasn't changed, Apple has moved to upgrade and improve certain elements of the laptop. So should you upgrade now, does the new features give it a 9/10? We get working to find out.
Review Verdict: Yet more hardware tweaks keeps the MacBook Pro one to consider

MacBook Pro 15-inch
Comments:
Apple's current upgrade cycle sees new computers appearing two-to-three months after the release of new Intel chips, so it's no surprise to see the MacBook Pro gaining a dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Review Verdict: There was also a huge boost in performance for older applications still running in Mac OS X's Rosetta emulation mode - which may be due to enhancements in the 10.4.8 operating system as much as the new chips. Photoshop ran almost twice as fast on the Core

QuickTake:
Pros: Fast dual-core processor. Small. Light, Elegant design. Great price.
Cons: Still held back by non-native applications from Adobe, Autodesk and others. Fewer screen and hard drive elements than we'd like.

Apple MacBook Pro 15" - Gadget Guy Australia
Comments:
We've come to accept that Apple's notebooks will always be prettier than their PC equivalents. They'll always have better industrial design, be more pleasant to use, and offer cute extras that might not have much practical value but are undeniably cool
Review Verdict: The MacBook Pro is a little bit slower than a PC costing the same amount. But it's much more fun to use. It feels expensive and well put together, it has an unobtrusive built-in camera and a keyboard that lights up when the room goes dark. Thanks to unoff

It doesn't look that different to from the old Power Book, but the new Intel Core Duo chips really set this laptop apart.
