[update]
-It seems to be the expected Santa-Rosa-based mdoels as it now supprts up to 4GB of RAM. The 17" model can be equipepd with a 1920x1200 display, making it the first Apple-branded-HD video ready notebook (still HDMI/HDCP for external playback).
- If Apple seems not to be using the Robson technology integrated in Santa-Rosa platform, as it is not mention in any current information
- Even if Apple does not write it down, the current frequency of the Core 2 Duo CPUs as well as the support for 4GB RAM indicate that thsoe MB Pro are indeed based on Santa-Rosa.
- The MB Pro 15" models feature a LED-backlited LCD display:
The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is better for the environment, thanks to its new mercury-free display. Backlit by light emitting diodes (LEDs), the display weighs less and is more power efficient than the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) which most notebooks employ, and provides full brightness immediately after the system is turned on.
