Apple have just introduced their latest laptop computer. The 17 inch Macbook Pro follows the two 15 inch models launched earlier this year.
Powered by a dual-core Intel engine, Apple say that this new model is up to five times the speed of the PowerBook G4 with eight times the graphics bandwidth. It boasts a Firewire 800 port and an extra USB 2.0 port over the connectivity provided by the 15 inch models.
