The Late 2011 MacBook Pros ship with OS X 10.7 Lion, but because this is a relatively minor revision, they should still be able to run Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. The best news of all is that with faster CPUs and larger hard drives, there’s no change in price. There had been some speculation that the next MacBook Pro revision would include a higher resolution display (perhaps matching the 1440 x 900 of the 13″ MacBook Air) and the same Bluetooth 4.0 built into the iPhone 4S, but no such luck – we’re still living with a 1280 x 800 display and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. In addition to slightly faster CPUs, the Late 2011 model comes with 50% more spacious hard drives – 500 GB instead of 320 GB on the base model and 750 GB (up from 500 GB) on the i7 version. The top-end version goes from 2.7 GHz to 2.8 GHz, an even less impressive 3.7% improvement. The 13″ model advances from 2.3 GHz to 2.4 GHz, a relatively insignificant 4.3% speed bump.
The Late 2011 MacBook Pros represent a small step forward from the Early 2011 models introduced 8 months earlier.
