We got our hands on the new base 15-inch MacBook Pro configuration, which received one of the more substantial upgrades over the previous model. Late last month, Apple updated its 2011 MacBook Pro lineup - likely the first and last update before Apple adopts Ivy Bridge in Q2 next year. With the exception of lackluster Quick Sync adoption by Apple and obviously limited GPU options, I have very few major complaints. It's this very combination that I've been using, partially since the introduction of the Sandy Bridge MacBook Pro earlier this year (the Thunderbolt Display didn't arrive until later). Apple gets the mobile revolution in more ways than one, and its MacBook Pro/ Thunderbolt Display combo is the perfect example of that. Only using quad-core CPUs on the 15 and 17-inch models, and offering an optional Thunderbolt Display that can act as a modern day dock makes this platform, particularly the 15-inch model, the perfect candidate for users who want the power and flexibility of a desktop with the portability of a notebook.
The early 2011 MacBook Pro is honestly Apple's best effort to date.
