Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

By Dan Ackerman on 18/06/2009 Tagged with: pro, notebook, macbook, laptop, apple, 15-inch, 2009

The bottom line: 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.
