Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 (Core i7 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 15-inch)

Apple’s new 15-inch MacBook Pro lineup may look identical to its predecessor (the mid-2009 models [] that brought the fixed battery and SD card slot to the line), but under the hood, changes to both the CPU and GPU combine to make an impressive leap in performance over the systems these replace.
The new 15-inch MacBook Pro comes in three standard configurations, all priced similarly to the last iteration. All three models come standard with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, two graphics processors, and a glossy 15.4-inch LED-backlit screen.
The $1799 entry-level system comes with a 2.4GHz Core i5 processor and a 320GB hard drive; it replaces a $1699 model with a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and integrated graphics only. The next step up the line is a $1999 system with a 2.53GHz Core i5 processor and a 500GB hard drive, which takes the place of a $1999 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo-based system with 4GB of RAM, dual graphics, and a 320GB hard drive. At the top of the line sits a $2199 model with a 2.66GHz Core i7 processor and a 500GB drive; its $2299-predecessor had a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo model with 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive.
