According
to AppleInsider, the company is due to roll out a 17-inch version of the
Core Duo-powered MacBookPro at the National Association of Broadcasters
conference next week. According to the report, the 17-inch MBP would include a
faster processor than the 2.16GHz version currently available in the 15-incher's
top configuration. That could put pricing for the model well above $3,000, given
the $2,800 price for the 2.16GHz version -- which may explain why Apple's
choosing to show it off for TV pros, who may be willing to splurge for a
high-end box, especially if they can run an Intel-native version of Apple's
Final Cut Studio on it for a mere $1,300 more.
