The Mac Observer —
Who Needs an 8 Hour Battery Anyway? by on January 19th, 2009 at 3:04 PM Apple's new 17" MacBook Pro ships within the next couple of weeks.

MacBytes.com —
... I also selected a 17-inch Apple laptop–which turned out to be pretty easy, since there’s only one. That would be the 17-inch MacBook Pro . [image] For the record, I didn’t check the prices of the system until after I’d compared their specs–I didn’t want anyone to be able to accuse me of rigging my research, consciously or unconsciously, to make Apple look good. Q. The Dell, HP, and Lenovo you picked look like mobile workstations, aimed at businesspeople who need a lot of power. The MacBook Pro is a consumer machine, so it’s not a logical comparison. A.
