While I write this post the Macworld is under way at Moscone West. After introducing some of Apple’s new software solutions for 2009 the last product was finally launched. And it’s not the Mac Mini we’ve been talking about but it’s the brand new 17 inch MacBook Pro.

It has the same great aluminum design and it will feature a 17 inch 1920 x 1200 display, 700:1 contrast ratio, 60% greater color gamut. The backlit display has also a $50 anti-glare option available. As for ports we have the usual DisplayPort, USB, FireWire 800 and we’re also going to have a battery meter. Inside you will find a new generation Core 2 Duo Processor, support for 8GB of RAM and a new NVIDIA graphics card.

The battery is outstanding. It will get you 8 hours of juice as the battery has been redesigned to meet your power needs. It’s bigger but it’s not removable. Who cares about that anyway. Having a 17 inch MacBook Pro able to run for 8 whole hours is already a great thing.

All that costs $2,799. Is it worth it I ask you? It probably is. Check out the picture above for a full specs rundown.
