Research notes (unverified)
- Quad-core Sandy Bridge with two GPUs: Intel HD Graphics 3000 and a discrete AMD Radeon (TeraScale 2, radeon driver), switched through a hardware mux.
- Last 17-inch MacBook Pro: ExpressCard/34 slot, no SD card slot.
- Sandy Bridge with Thunderbolt (Light Ridge). FaceTime HD camera is USB (05ac:8509). Audio is a Cirrus Logic CS4206 codec on every observed machine.
