Aw snap. It finally, really happened… kind of. Apple has just dropped a nasty refresh on its MacBook and MacBook Pro line, knocking the processor speeds up, and giving the Pros that tasty multi-touch the MacBook Air has been sporting. Still, they couldn’t break off an even slightly new form-factor for us? Right now we’re seeing updates to the GPU, an LED backlight (option!) for 17-inchers, as well as LEDs on all the rest of the Pros (sorry again MacBookers), and of course those

speed bumps… still, that leaves something to be desired. New specs on the MBPs include a speed bump to a base of 2.4GHz all the way up to 2.6GHz, a mysteriously familiar 3MB or 6MB L2 cache on the CPU, added RAM to the graphics card (up to 512MB for the 17-inch model), and of course the new trackpad.
