Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro gets dissected

Well, that didn't take long. Shortly after a shiny new Core 2 Duo-equipped MacBook Pro arrived on their doorstep, the folks at iFixit lovingly cracked it open so you don't have to. There aren't a whole lot of surprises under the hood -- unless you haven't already heard about a certain undisclosed bonus -- but if you want to see where all your hard-earned money went up close, they've got the pics to satisfy you.

My question is for what reason did they exclude the Firewire 800 port before just to add it back now?! Could they seriously not get a intel motherboard made for them that included it until now?

other than the mac pro (they commitioned intel to design that motherboard) apple designs their own motherboards so i guess it was their choice :S
