From the 13-inch Macbook Pro to the 17-inch, you’ll see on the store that while the new features are obviously very exciting, the price of these laptops a still a major stumbling block for most consumers.

At a starting price of $1199, the new models certainly aren’t cheap, even if it comes with state of the art processors such as Intel’s new Sandy Bridge chipsets – However, if you’ve got the money to spare, then why not splash out on a premium laptop, as most of you will probably argue.

The most expensive Macbook Pro now stands at a staggering $2499, and that isn’t even with any upgrades such as a SSD instead of a hard drive. This is the 17-inch mode we’re talking about and specs include a 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with a 750GB hard drive, 4GB of RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6750M (1GB dedicated RAM).

Some of you may be thinking what’s the point spending $1000+ on a laptop when you can buy a similar non-Apple model with the same specs for half the price? Then again, this is an Apple product that we’re talking about, and you can’t fault the stunning build quality and fast bootup times which are guaranteed with a Macbook.

Having seen the new Macbook Pro prices for yourself, what are your thoughts on this. Are you intending to pick one up, or do you think they are definitely overpriced?

A new advertisement by Intel has teased an upcoming Macbook Pro, but one which will look different from the rest.

According to this report by BGR, the Ad in question reveals that Apple may be planning to unleash a sexy Black version of their Macbook Pro laptop, if Intel’s latest promo turns out to be real. Firstly, let’s take a look at it below:

It looks pretty special doesn’t it? The picture doesn’t give away much, but you can definitely see the black display and black body in the Macbook’s position shown above. We definitely love the classic Silver Macbook Pro, but we can’t help but get excited over a new color joining the family.

The ad itself isn’t about the Macbook Pro specifically, rather a reminder from Intel about the multimedia capabilities of their new Core i5 processors, which are featured on their current 15-inch model Macbook Pros. You can check them out on the Apple store here.

We’re praying that more info on this elusive black model comes to light soon, for now let us know your thoughts on a new color – would you dig a sleek black Macbook Pro or not? It could be hitting the Apple Store as early as this March. Stay tuned for further details on this as we get it.
