it's got two graphics cards.. you can toggle on the 9600M GT for hardcore gaming usage.

you can also toggle between OSX and WinXP or Vista..

the new macbook pro doesn't have a mouse button, which kinda weird.. i think it works like the iphone where you can use two+ fingers to zoom in and drag stuff around (?) we need to get len back on here to explain this stuff! :)

Multi-Touch Trackpad

Constructed of smooth, touch-friendly, and wear-resistant glass, the new MacBook Pro trackpad has no button. It is the button. So you can click it anywhere
