It’s quick.
Nilay Patel:
No two ways about this: the new MacBook Pro is the fastest laptop we’ve ever tested, hands-down. We were sent the stock $2,199 15-inch MacBook Pro, and its 2.2GHz quad-core Core i7-2720QM, 4GB of RAM, and AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics with 1GB of dedicated GDDR5 RAM turned in numbers exceeding any Mac we’ve ever had in the labs. In fact, the raw CPU score is so high you’d have to step to a Mac Pro and Xeon processors to get anything faster, as far as we can tell. (That’ll obviously change when Apple bumps the iMac line to Sandy Bridge.)
iMacs to get Sandy Bridge too. Oh, how exciting fast.
There will be an update to the Mac Mini tomorrow. I don’t know the specs or if there will be a new design, but I do know there will be an update. Undisclosed source.
