Big things happened in Cupertino this afternoon (or morning if you were on the West Coast) as Apple announced a complete overhaul of its notebook lineup. Design changes were announced to Apple’s entire lineup of notebooks (save the Macbook Air). Some of the notable changes included an all-aluminum case for the Macbook, and Macbook-style keyboards for the Macbook Pro. The systems got graphics bumps to NVidia’s new mobile chipset, and the designs were tweaked so the Macbook Pro got the magnetic clasp that Macbooks have and the optical drives were moved to the side of the system. The screens and trackpads were made all-glass, and the matte screen was done away with in favor of a glossy black-bordered screen like the iMac sports.

Good news all around, but is it enough to make you upgrade?
