Apple announced a slew of updates for 2009 on Tuesday. Among the most anticipated of the announcements is the new 17-inch MacBook Pro.
According to Apple, its new MacBook Pro will feature a built-in battery that can deliver eight hours of use. It will also come equipped with a glass Multi-Track trackpad, high-quality graphics technology, and the latest Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors.
“We’ve developed new battery technology that is better for the user and better for the environment,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO in a press statement. “Apple’s advanced chemistry and innovative technology deliver up to eight hours of use on a full charge cycle and up to 1,000 recharges.”
In addition, iTunes users will be happy to learn that Apple has announced several changes to its music store. The iTunes store will now be offering eight million of its 10 million songs in Apple’ Digital Rights Management (DRM) free format. This makes it so that downloaded music will be free to share and burn.
Among other changes announced is that now all four major music labels—Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group, and EMI—as well as thousands of others, will now be offering their music on iTunes Plus. This will allow for higher quality audio. Downloads will also be available to a broader range of Apple products.
Also announced by Apple are the 2009 versions of its software programs iLife and iWork, which will both come with some helpful new features.
