A huge 17” version of the latest generation of aluminum and glass Macbook Pros offers a bundle of improvements in addition to the very eye pleasing large-screen display.  From the glass multi-touch trackpad to the improved eight-hour battery life to the reappearance of a FireWire 800 port, the new MacBook Pros are a stunning piece of computing all the way through. Apple manages to pack all of the massive specifications into a laptop that is still only 6.6 pounds and less than an inch thick.
