The gorgeous new 17" MacBook Pro that Apple introduced at MacWorld Expo in January is now shipping and it really puts the "Pro" in MacBook Pro. The new super strong and light aluminum unibody houses a beautiful new display that can now be had in either gloss or matte finish. And how does up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 8 hours of battery life sound? (It should sound like "Order me one now!") Click here to custom config a 17" MacBook Pro at hardware.precursor.ca!

In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple did something that every designer wishes it hadn't. It defined instances of both Helvetica and Helvetica Neue as Mac OS X system fonts that cannot be removed.
