Apple MacBook Pro (2008 Edition, 2.4GHz)

By Dan Ackerman on 06/03/2008 Tagged with: macbook pro, multi-touch, penryn, apple, 2.4ghz

The bottom line: A solid, if predictable, upgrade to the MacBook Pro line, but noteworthy for stealing the MacBook Air's best feature — expanded gesture controls for the touch pad.
