This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers and global prices (in addition to a handful of Q&As) on the new "stealth" MacBook Pro models. Complete specs, identifiers, and benchmarks for the iPhone 4S and white iPod touch now also are available.

Additionally, the Currently Shipping, By Year, By Processor, By Case Type, By Capability, and By Identifier Mac specs listings have been updated and Mac Manuals and Global Original Mac Prices have been updated, also.

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