Apple released new MacBooks and new MacBook Pros today. I’ve updated my “Apple’s January and February Updates” post accordingly.
The MacBook Pros now have a Multi-Touch option. Remember that the Multi-Touch functionality is software-based, meaning that Apple could, theoretically, make this available as a software update to current MacBook Pro owners. But don’t count on it – they do want to sell new ones, after all.
Also noteworthy: A 200GB 7200rpm drive is a build-to-order option on MacBook Pro.
Finally, the Apple Remote is no longer included in the box. You must spend an extra $19 to get one. So that sucks.
