New Apple MacBook Pros Come with Intel Sandy Bridge Processors, AMD Graphics, Thunderbolt I/O tech and HD Cameras

Apple upgrade its MacBook Pro family with some new parts: new Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 processors, AMD Radeon HD 6000M graphics, FaceTime HD cameras and some super fast Thunderbolt I/O transfer speeds. There are two new 13-inch MacBook Pro, two 15.4-inch MacBook Pro, and one 17-inch model.

The specifications of each model:

• Both 13.3-inch models are now available with Core i5 and i7 processors. The lower end model starts at $1,199, and features a 2.4GHz dual-core Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive. Going up to the 2.7GHz dual-core Core i7 CPU and 500GB hard drive will set you back $1,499. This duo doesn't get the AMD graphics treatment like the others, but from what we've heard Intel's new HD 3000 integrated graphics is more powerful than ever.
• The 15-inch MacBook Pro gets the Core i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6000M. The $1,799 model packs a 2.0GHz quad-core Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon HD6490M graphics with 1GB of VRAM, and a 500GB hard drive. On the higher end, there's a $2,199 model which buys you a faster 2.2GHz Core i7 chip, AMD Radeon 6750M graphics, and 750GB hard drive. There are also 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB SSD options. Also, as far as we understand, the graphics switching will work exactly like the previous models - it automatically switches between the GPU and IGP depending on what you're doing.
• The 17-inch MacBook Pro basically has the same specs as that high-end 15-incher - for $2,499 you get that same 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon 6750M graphics, and a 750GB hard drive.
