Priced at more than two grand, the new MacBook Pro is not for the light-of-pocket.

But the latest version of Apple's flagship laptop, which was introduced today at the Worldwide Developers聽Conference聽(WWDC)聽in San Francisco, is a bruiser of a machine, with a聽quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 768GB of flash storage, a .71-inch chassis, and a聽2880x1880 "retina display" 鈥� the highest-resolution screen available on any laptop today, 聽to聽Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller.听

The MacBook Pro, which weighs a reported 4.46 pounds 鈥� relatively light for a laptop 鈥� will get a base price of $2,199, CNET is . Apple will begin selling the device through its website later today.听Speaking at the WWDC keynote, Apple CEO Tim Cook 聽the rejiggered MacBook "the most beautiful computer we have ever made."聽

Of course, the MacBook Pro was not the only laptop unveiled by Apple at WWDC 2012. For instance, Schiller and Cook also took the wraps off a mildly rejiggered Macbook Air, with an聽Ivy Bridge processor, better graphics, and a pair of USB 3.0-capable ports. Prices on the Air will remain unchanged: $999 gets you 64GB of flash storage and an 11-inch display, and $1,099 gets you the same display and 128GB of storage.听

But it is the new MacBook Pro that has soaked up the bulk of the limelight. And why not? The Pro blends the slim lines of the Air with the muscle of a professional-grade laptop. "[It]聽covers a lot of our wish-list bullet points for a dream Air-Pro hybrid, although you'll have to pay a pretty penny to get one,"聽 Scott Stein of CNET.听
