The main improvements for both model lines include the newest 45 nanometer Intel Core 2 Duo processors known as &#8220;Penryn,&#8221; which promises better performance and longer battery life.

Apple also claims the MacBook Pro is up to 74% faster than the original version, which came out two years ago. Otherwise, they look the same as the models they replace, and they are reportedly shipping now.
