So yeah, the new Macbook Pro does have a multi-touch pad, but what else can we expect from it?

Engadget has a comparative review of this latest version of Apple’s top-of-the-line laptop and aside from the new touch pad, users will be happy to note that it will be a bit more bearable to use on your lap as compared to its predecessors. That might be its greatest consolation as speed tests show that while the new Penryn processors do provide improvement in performance, it’s not that big a deal. Gizmodo also shares the same point of view with their hands-on take on the new Macbook Pro. Dont’ get me wrong, it’s efficient but not that impressive to blow me away with its new specs.

So the verdict: if you’re looking into purchasing your very first Macbook Pro or want one that has a multi-touch pad, then without a doubt this is the one for you; but if you already own of the more recent and powerful Core 2 Duo units, you won’t missed out on much with this latest release.
