Apple has released their updated line of Macbook and Macbook Pro. The updated Macbooks boast Intel’s latest Core 2 Duo Penryn processors, larger capacity hard drives and standard 2GB memory in most models. MacBook prices start from $1,099 while MacBook Pro starts from $1,999.

MacBook Pro now includes the latest NVIDIA graphics processors, with up to 512MB of video memory and Apple’s innovative Multi-Touch (TM) trackpad which was first introduced in MacBook Air. MacBook and MacBook Pro comes with Leopard OS and iLife ‘08.

Why did Apple release their new MacBook lineup just now? I just feel bad for the memory and hard disk upgrade.
