    The $1,999 model now includes a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, up from the previously announced 1.67 GHz, and will begin shipping next week. In addition, customers may now upgrade to a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor as a build-to-order option on the Apple Online Store.

    “We are incredibly excited to start shipping the MacBook Pro, a groundbreaking new notebook with dual-processor desktop performance in a thin, sleek design,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The new MacBook Pro includes even faster Intel Core Duo processors than originally announced, up to 2.16 GHz, and we think customers are going to love them.”

    Great news, I'm getting one as soon as I have the cash saved, and now it'll be even faster.

    I'd love to know why they did this at all, just a marketing thing or what? I mean, presumably they didn't actually go and build any of the 1.6Ghz Core Duo models at all, only to open them up again and replace the chips?

    Still though, nice surprise for the people who had them pre-ordered, as they get the upgrade for free!
