Apple MacBook Pro (Core i7) mid-2010 unboxing

Officially launched yesterday, Apple's Core i7 15-inch MacBook Pro has arrived on the SlashGear testbench and is crying out for an unboxing.  Sticking to the same unibody aluminum style of its predecessors, the new MacBook Pro throws out the old Core 2 Duo CPUs and replaces them with a choice of Core i5 and Core i7 chips paired with NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
