The long awaited Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro updates brought with them the more powerful, battery sapping NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M discrete graphics chip. And while more is generally better, users lamented Apple’s implementation of graphics switching.

According to an Android Central Forum member, the HTC EVO 4G is set to be available around June 6th for $200 on contract (and $600 outright).
