Apple has announced a 17-incher lightweight laptop Apple MacBook Pro.It is powerful,sleek and has the ability to run Windows as well as Mac operating system.Equipped with a 2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, the maximum 4GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and nVidia's new top-of-the-line notebook graphics card, the nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, our $2949 test unit set new speed records.The MacBook Pro outperformed the rest of the notebooks we tested, all of which claim Windows as their primary--nay, their only--operating system.

At 6.6 pounds and just 1 inch thick, the MacBook Pro is the lightest 17-inch notebook available. But it has no memory card slots and only three USB ports, and it comes configured with an ExpressCard/34 slot instead of the more versatile ExpressCard/54 slot. Though it has Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi, built-in cellular broadband is not an option. On the other hand, video editors will be happy to have not one but two FireWire ports. Battery life was disappointing: Apple pegs it at 5.7 hours on one charge, but in our tests we got less than 2 hours, 45 minutes.

Apple said it is indeed on a roll with its iPhone. The company announced today it has sold 1 million of the new phones 74 days after its launch.
Steve Jobs had said earlier that Apple forecast 1 million units by the end of the month. But they met the mark with a few weeks to spare. This comes less than a week after Apple dropped the price of its 8GB iPhone by $200 to $399, a move that angered some existing iPhone users but also raised speculation that Apple was falling behind on its sales targets.
It's hard to know right now how much the price cut contributed to Apple hitting its 1 million milestone early but you gotta think it helped. Still in less than a week's time of selling with the new price cut, Apple looked to be on its way anyway toward its goal.
"One million iPhones in 74 days - it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod," said Jobs. "We can't wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season."
Jobs said in an open letter to iPhone owners last week that Apple really wanted to "go for it" for the holidays with the price drop. Things look to be getting off to a good start. The next goal for Apple is 10 million iPhone units by the end of 2008.
