macbook pro speed-bump

February 14, 2006

what a way to start my day. apple has announced that they have started shipping macbook pros (mine hasn’t shipped yet), but they also announced this little gem:

All models of the new MacBook Pro will ship with faster Intel Core Duo processors than previously announced, delivering even greater performance at no additional cost. The $2,499 model now includes a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, up from the previously announced 1.83 GHz, and will begin shipping this week. The $1,999 model now includes a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, up from the previously announced 1.67 GHz, and will begin shipping next week.

i am so pleasantly surprised by this. i’m getting a 2.0ghz core duo instead of a 1.83!!
