Just last week, Apple silently upgraded its 2011 MacBook Pro lineup, boosting the laptops’ processor, RAM and storage. There’s no catch on the upgrade at all as the company didn’t change or increase the prices of these laptops.

Both the 13-inch MacBook Pro models get the newly introduced Intel Sandy Bridge processors — packing a 2.4-GHz dual-core i5 (from the original 2.3-GHz) and 2.8-GHz dual-core i7 Intel processors (from the original 2.7-GHz), respectively.

They also have more storage as the first 13-inch variant now packs 500GB HDD (from the original 320GB) and the other has 750GB HDD (from the original 500GB).

The 15-inch MacBook Pro variants get faster Intel Core i7 quad-core processors  – packing a 2.2-GHz  (from the original 2.0-GHz) and 2.4-GHz (from the original 2.2-GHz), respectively.

Both have also upgraded their graphics cards as the first 15-inch variant now packs 512MB GDDR5 and the other has 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6770M GPU (from the original 6750M).

The 17-inch MacBook Pro gets the same Intel Core i7 quad-core processor but now has 2.4-GHz processor (from 2.2GHz). Its graphics card has also been upgraded to the same graphics card used in the higher-end 15-inch variant.

Again, these late-2011 MacBook Pro laptops, despite the upgrades on the specs, are priced the same with their respective original prices. These are also now available in all Apple stores worldwide!
