Santa Rosa comes to the Mac: a review of the new MacBook Pro
Ars Technica - "Since Apple made the great migration to Intel and the x86 architecture, much of the mystery around its product roadmap has disappeared. Unlike Apple, whose obsession with secrecy makes the Illuminati and Trilateral Commission look loose-lipped, Intel is quite open about its future plans. As a result, reading the tea leaves when it comes to Apple's product updates is much easier... it becomes a matter of when, not what."

MacBook Pro backlight comparison: LED vs CCFL
Engadget - "Turns out our local zombie-infested Apple store was already stocking yesterday's new Santa Rosa-based LED-backlit MacBook Pro -- and so naturally we had to do our own wholly unscientific comparison.

Apple told us the difference would be imperceptible -- was it? Check out the pics, and read on for some thoughts"
