Product Summary

Apple MacBook Pro Summer 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 256MB, 15-inch)

price range: $1,851.92 - $1,999.00

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.
