Like everything Apple does, the new MacBook Pro lineup spawned a great deal of Internet chatter among Mac faithful. Some welcomed the new 13-inch Pro with open arms, remembering the well-loved 12-inch PowerBook—and happy to have a small MacBook with pro-level features as an option. Others were less than pleased with the loss of the ExpressCard slot in most MacBook Pro models (see “MacBook Semi-Pro?” p50), which Apple replaced with an SD Card slot in all but the 17-inch model. With no fewer than six different models available—not to mention BTO options—there’s a wide range to choose from. And with a $1,300 price spread across all the MacBook Pros, it’s clear that Apple is targeting the new Pro models at a wider audience than ever.
