Notably absent from the new MacBook Pro releases yesterday was an refresh of the 17″ MacBook Pro. Instead, Apple provided a minor upgrade to the high-end MacBook Pro but with no change in external casing:
The updated 17-inch MacBook Pro keeps its original aluminum design, and now comes standard with a high resolution 1920 x 1200 LED-backlit display and a larger 320GB hard drive or an optional 128GB solid state drive.
As a result, there had been some uncertainty surrounding the fate of the new 17″ MacBook Pro.
AppleInsider says, however, that the 17″ MacBook Pro will see a refresh in the next few months to bring it in line with the latest MacBook Pro designs. The next opportunity for Apple to release new machines falls in January 2009 at Macworld San Francisco.
