This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs on the new "talking" iPod shuffle 3G and comprehensive updates to the Intel Mac mini Q&A and "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A to cover the latest models.

If you missed the last site update -- mere days ago -- EveryMac.com also has complete specs on the new value-oriented Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, and "stealth" MacBook Pro systems.

The Intel Mac mini Q&A answers "How do you upgrade the RAM in the Mac mini 'Core' models? How much RAM of what type do they support?" and "Is it possible to upgrade the processor in the Mac mini 'Core' models?" along with dozens of other questions about Apple's cheapest new Mac.

The "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A answers "What is the 17-Inch 'Unibody' MacBook Pro battery life in 'real-world' tests?" and "How do you upgrade the hard drive in the 17-Inch 'Unibody' MacBook Pro?" and everything in between about Apple's most powerful notebooks.
