[Ti] MacBook Pro 17" released

[Arnie Ramirez]

Very interesting points:

Go spec a MacBook Pro 15" with 2.16GHz and it costs $2799 - the  
**same** as a 17" with standard 2.16GHz!

AND the 17" comes with a 17" screen (obviously), 120GB Hard Disk  
(versus 100GB for the 15"), the DL SuperDrive, AND FW800 AND an extra  
USB port.

SO, for $2799 you can have a 15" with NO FW800, DL SD, 20GB less  
storage, 1 less USB Port and 2" less of LCD.

Insane to buy a 15" unless you are in love with the form-factor  
(which many are, myself included)!

I didn't realize that Boot Camp requires you to reboot each OS. Isn't  
there some way to pass information across drives, like in Virtual PC?  
Anyone used this yet?
