I’m glad that Apple released the MacBook Pro in the 17″ model, but am bummed that the specs are much better than the 15″ MacBook Pro. Specifically, it comes stock with a 2.16 GHz processor, 120 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, 8x Dual Layer DVD Burner and a FireWire 800 port. I plan on getting the 15″ MacBook Pro, upgrading it to a 2.16 GHz processor with a 100 GB 7200 RPM drive which will bring the price to $2899. The 17″ model (you can choose the 120 GB 5400 RPM drive or 100 GB 7200 RPM drive for the same price) is $2799 which is $100 AND includes the 8x vs 4x DVD burner and a FireWire 800 port. I do use a FireWire 800 drive everyday for backup, so I’ll miss the port. Even though I’m disappointed, I’m still going to order the 15″ MacBook Pro soon. Hopefully Apple will drop the 15″ price or make the 2.16 GHz processor standard before I order.
