This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers and benchmarks for the new MacBook Pro and iPad 2 models and comprehensive updates to the "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A and iPad Q&A.

The Ultimate Mac Comparison and Ultimate Mac Lookup features all have been updated, too.

The completely updated "Unibody" MacBook Pro Q&A answers "How fast are the 'Early 2011' 13-Inch, 15-Inch, and 17-Inch MacBook Pro models compared to one another? How fast are they compared to the models each replaced?" and "How do you upgrade the RAM in the 'Early 2011' MacBook Pro models? How much RAM do they actually support?" along with many other questions about the latest MacBook Pro line.

The likewise completely updated iPad Q&A answers "What are the differences between the AT&T and Verizon data plans for the iPad 2? Which is a better deal for me?" and "How do you connect an iPad to a television or projector to display photos or video? What are the video out differences between the iPad and iPad 2?" and everything in between about the all new iPad 2 models.

If you have bought an iPad 2 or a new MacBook Pro, or buy one in the future, please send in its serial number. The non-personal information will be added to the Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you very much.
