Pretty happy with the update.

I like the new update to the mbp line. In fact, I think I just changed my mind on the ipad, and am now considering selling my current mbp to get it. The way I'm thinking about it, if I end up paying around 650 for the ipad, I might as well combine that with the money from the mbp and buy the new mbp. Ohh apple, why do you do this to me??

EDIT: I forgot to ask about the graphics, since I can't seem to find it anywhere. It mentions that it has the integrated Intel HD graphics, as well as the Nvidia 330m. Will it still have the same switching method? I remember reading that the Nvidia Hybrid SLI only works when both gcs are made by Nvidia.

That appears only an option which is available on the 15" and 17" models, not the 13". And yes, I would expect it to switchable much the same way it is now.

MBP Update & Graphics

From what I have heard the change from one GPU to another is automatic depending on the application being used. No need to reboot.

I'll be buying my first MBP real soon.

Yep. You can either choose to use discrete graphics all the time or choose automatic switching which switches to discrete graphics for more demanding applications.

The switching system is actually not Optimus - it is Apples own custom designed system.
