It's been nearly a few years since the MacBook Pro last received a substantial design change, so you'll need some eagle eyes to tell these latest models besides its forerunners. Seriously, Thunderbolt even uses the Mini DisplayPort connector, so the only distinct characteristics are the lightning-strike Thunderbolt icon on the port row and a delicate new texture to the light weight aluminum lid. Oh, and also the SD slot is now SDXC. Nearly almost everything else is the same: the still-best-in-class keyboard and glass multitouch trackpad, the normal glossy display, the ports, the sealed-in battery, you name it.
That's both good and bad, of course: Apple's competitors just have recently gained any ground over the MacBook Pro's unibody construction and solidity, but wouldn't it really kill someone to add in one or two extra USB ports? And perhaps space them out enough to permit for both a thumb drive or wireless card and another device without an extension cable? That would be cool. And while we're at it, we'd also love that optional higher-res 1680 x 1050 display to become standard -- in matte, if it is possible. We won't even begin to lament the absence of a Blu-ray option; down that road lies only the aching pain of need forever unsatisfied.
To sum this up: it's and feels identical to a MacBook Pro. It is the industry standard regarding design and quality, but after 3 years competitors such as the HP Envy 14 have started knocking on the door, and we would like to watch the top get a lot better the next time around.
Performance, graphics, and life of the battery
No two ways about this: the new MacBook Pro is the fastest laptop we've ever tried, hands-down. I was sent the stock $2,199 15-inch MacBook Pro, with 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 reality, the raw CPU score is really high you'd probably need to step to a Mac Pro and Xeon processors to have anything faster, as much as we are able to tell. (That'll obviously change when Apple bumps the iMac line to Sandy Bridge.)
