Apple surprised everyone by releasing an updated version of the Mac Pro the week before the MacWorld Expo. The new model used Intel's 4-core 'Harpertown' CPU, and 8 cores is the default except on the entry-level configuration.
Getting the Mac Pro out of the way allowed Apple to focus on its first Intel-based subportable at the Expo. The MacBook Air is barely 3/4" thick and weighs just 3 lb. - that's with a full-sized keyboard and a 13.3" display. For the first time since the G3, there's no built-in optical drive; users can buy a $99 external SuperDrive or use special software to "borrow" the hard drive of a nearby Mac or PC with WiFi.
The MacBook Air has an aluminum enclosure and a black, backlit keyboard. It has only one I/O port, a USB 2.0 connector hidden behind a door, and it's the first Mac without FireWire since 2001.
The other new hardware introduced at the Expo was Time Capsule, a WiFi hub and backup drive designed to work in conjunction with the Time Machine feature in Leopard. Apple also unveiled a completely overhauled Apple TV - the hardware remains the same, but the software is all new.
Apple also announced five new apps for the iPod touch, which would be standard on newly built touches but cost $20 for those who already owned this iPod.
In February, Apple updated the MacBook and MacBook Pro lines using Intel's new Penryn CPU. The new 13.3" MacBook model comes in 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz versions. Although the 3 MB L2 cache is smaller than in the previous MacBook, Macworld benchmarks found the new models were faster than their predecessors.
The 15" MacBook Pro saw a modest jump in CPU speed from 2.2 and 2.4 GHz to 2.4 and 2.5 GHz. Again, the new Penryn CPU makes the new models faster, and the 2.5 GHz model has a 6 MB L2 cache (as does the 2.6 GHz build-to-order option). The 17" MacBook Pro now runs at 2.5 GHz, and in addition to a 2.6 GHz CPU it also has a hi-res screen option.
Apple also introduced a pink iPod in February, just in time for St. Valentine's Day, and later added a 2 GB iPod shuffle, trimming the price of the 1 GB model from US$79 to US$49.
