As widely expected, there are new MacBook Pro machines available as of today.

All three models come with 2GB RAM, and can support up to 4GB. They all come with a Superdrive. The upper two have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB SDRAM graphics card; the lower model makes do with 128MB. The 17-incher offers an optional 1920×1200 resolution.

And, best of all - LED backlit displays on the 15-inch models, and the Core 2 Duo processor is (according to Engadget - I’ve not seen anything official from Apple about this yet) using the Santa Rosa chipset.

Tempting. Very tempting.
