This week Apple introduced the MacBook Pro 17". Priced at $2,799 which seems reasonable for what you get in such a small package at 1" thick. 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processors 1680x1050 screen resolution 1GB (single SODIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM 120GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive 8x double-layer SuperDrive ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB GDDR3 3 USB 2.0 ports FireWire 400 FireWire 800 Only thing is, if you add the same good's to the 15" model it will cost you more. Does that make any sense? "The pricing on the new 17-inch MacBook Pros is quite curious. If you configure a build-to-order 15-inch MacBook with the 2.16 GHz processor — the same as the only available processor for the 17-inch MacBooks — the price is the same. E.g. for the exact same price of $2,799 you can get a 17-inch MacBook Pro with a bigger screen and larger hard drive. And, if you upgrade both machines to the 100 GB 7200 RPM hard drives and 2 GB of RAM, the 17-inch MacBook winds up $100 cheaper ($3099 vs. $3199)."
