While the cost of the new MacBook Pros makes it unlikely to convert sceptics, die-hard Apple users will appreciate the evolution of this refresh. Both performance and battery life are increased noticeably and Apple's design flair and refinement remain unmatched. If you're overdue an upgrade, or looking at your first foray into Mac ownership, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is a fine option. With all the talk of the fourth generation iPhone leaks and the much-vaunted iPad, it's easy to forget about Apple's MacBook Pro range. It's understandable really as the range hasn't seen a cosmetic update since the aluminium unibody chassis was introduced, but that hasn't stopped Apple from improving the range in its recent update. This year's MacBook Pro refresh is notable for two things: 1) the introduction of Intel's barnstorming Core i5 and Core i7 processors; and 2) the ability to switch between the dedicated graphics and Intel's more frugal integrated graphics. It's a potentially powerful mixture, combining close to desktop levels of system performance with battery life claims of around eight to nine hours. It helps, of course, that the MacBook Pro design still knows no equal a good two years after its release. Like all things, it's possible to find fault if you try hard enough, but even now when a MacBook Pro arrives in the office it draws envious glances. Even the best imitations, such as the HP Envy 15, struggle to hold a candle to the elegance and engineering quality on show here
