MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped

Moby Cock writes "Apple Insider is reporting that Apple has started shipping the new MacBook Pro with an upgrade to the CPU clock speed. The two models now sport 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz Core Duos (up from 1.67 GHz and 1.83 GHz). A 2.16 GHz upgrade is also available. The price point remains the same." Dear Apple: Slashdot needs to review 5 of these indefinitely. Thank you XOXO ;) Seriously, i'm waiting for someone to give good benchmarks on these- especially testing for Warcraft. Now that it has a new Universal Binary I can't wait to see how it holds up against a modern windows machine.

Battery Life? by benbranch · 2006-02-14 04:04 · Score: 0, Redundant

So with the faster chips the batteries are going to take a hit right? Apple have been very quiet about MacBook battery life and this makes me fear that should I buy one I am going to need a very long extension cord.
