Background

Introduced in October 2006, the MacBook Pro (Late 2006) was essentially a speed-bump of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro (17-inch) models to include faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors. The 15.4" model also gained a FireWire port and a dual-layer SuperDrive. The MacBook Pro (Late 2006) shipped in three configurations: 15.4"/2.16 GHz/1 GB RAM/120 GB HD/128 MB VRAM/$1999 U.S., 15.4"/2.33 GHz/2 GB RAM/120 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2499 U.S., and 17"/2.33 GHz/2 GB RAM/160 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/$2799 U.S. All models were replaced in June 2007 by the MacBook Pro (Mid 2007).
