Apple has added Intel processors to the iMac which it is claimed will make the machine operate several times faster. 'The Core Duo is the first chip built using Intel’s ground breaking 65-nanometer process — resulting in transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With smaller distances for electrons to travel, and two processors designed to share resources and conserve power, Intel Core Duo achieves higher levels of performance as it uses fewer watts which is what makes it possible to design a super-powerful MacBook Pro that’s only one inch thin.' The low-end MacBook Pro, sells for $1,999. It comes with a 1.67GHz dual core processor, a high-resolution 15.4-inch screen, an ATI graphics chip, an 80GB drive, a DVD/CD burner and 512MB of memory. The high-end MacBook Pro sells for $2,499 and comes with 1. 83GHz, 1GB memory and 100GB drive.
