A no holds barred look at the MacBook Pro internals

MacBook Pro internalsWow, that was quick! Anand Lal Shimpi, over at AnandTech, has not only laid his hands on one of the brand new 17-inch MacBook Pros released yesterday, he’s already torn it down to its barest essentials and put the pictures up for geeks like us to drool over.

The explicit pictures (quite safe for work, unless you happen to be working at the Electronics Fundamental Rights Foundation) reveal that not much has changed from the previous generation MacBook Pro. It still features a custom motherboard design similar to the previous iteration, which has now been outfitted with the updated processor, hard drive, graphics card, and the Broadcom chip that enables that Multi-Touch goodness we all love.

Surprisingly, Mr. Shimpi didn’t find any significant improvements in performance (you’d think Penryn would be quite something after all that hype). Stay tuned for the full-fledged review from the ever reliable Macworld. It’ll be published in a couple of days, once they’ve had a chance to give it a thorough testing, Macworld-style.
