Apple unveils new MacBook Pro lineup

As rumored, Apple today released its new lineup of MacBook Pro notebook computers. Early leaks revealed the specs of all the new models at least a day ahead of launch, and those leaks proved quite accurate. Apple's updated MacBook Pro laptops now boast Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors, improved cameras capable of HD video chat, and a speedy new interface with a cool-sounding name: Thunderbolt.

 

Introducing Thunderbolt.

 

Perhaps the highlight of the new MacBook Pro line (especially for professional users) is the introduction of the new Thunderbolt I/O standard. "The new MacBook Pro brings next generation dual and quad Core processors, high performance graphics, Thunderbolt technology and FaceTime HD to the great design loved by our pro customers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.

 

"Thunderbolt is a revolutionary new I/O technology that delivers an amazing 10Gbps and can support every important I/O standard which is ideal for the new MacBook Pro," he continued. (CNET has more details on Thunderbolt here.)

 

The new FaceTime HD camera.

 

The new MacBook Pro also now includes a built-in FaceTime HD camera enabling high-definition video calls. The new FaceTime HD camera gives you three times the resolution of the previous camera. With Apple's FaceTime video calling software, the new camera allows high definition video calls between all new MacBook Pro models and supports standard resolution calls with other Intel-based Macs, iPhone 4 and the current generation iPod touch.

 

Included Software

The MacBook Pro will come installed with the Snow Leopard OS, iTunes, TimeMachine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD player, PhotoBooth, Front Row and XCode.

 

iLife comes with iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand.

 

It will bring much more entertainment causing we can use those software on New MacBook Pro, like watching video, movies for visual enjoyment. But how to make a copy of DVD on new MacBook Pro, is there any certain software to strip the DVD protection since DVD movies released recently are usually all protected by copy protections, such as RCE, CSS encryption, Sony ARccOS DVD protection, Disney New DVD Copy Protection, APS, UOP, etc?

 

MacX DVD Ripper Pro is one of the few solutions on Mac, which has the ability to access all types of copy protected DVD on new MacBook Pro, iMac. It can boast that it stays on top of current protection and encryption schemes to makes sure you're never locked out of your own discs. It feasts you maximum joyfulness for ripping and converting any DVD to MP4, H.264, MOV, FLV, MPEG, M4V, AVI, QT(QuickTime) with high quality video/audio.

Does a newly bought iMac come with iLife?

I want to have these two programs when I buy a new iMac:
Garageband
iWeb

I know that these both are available in iLife. Does this mean I will have to additionally buy iLife with my mac, or are those included when I buy the mac?

And, are these programs in .mac as well? Thanks in advance.

yes iLife comes with every new iMac, you will not have to buy them.

.mac, however, is not included with new iMacs (or any new Macs), you'll need to purchase that.
