Apple Computer Inc. said a new 17-inch version of its MacBook Pro laptop computer would begin shipping to stores next week.

The MacBook Pro, first introduced in January with a 15-inch display, replaces Apple's PowerBook line of laptops and uses Intel Corp.'s Core Duo computer chip for a processing speed three to four times faster than the PowerBook.

Apple said the new version weighs 6.8 pounds and will sell at a retail price of about $2,799.
