Re: Apple Quietly Upgrades Its Entry-Level MacBook Specs
i don't think they really want people buying the cheaper white models over the unibody, but the white models still have a few benefits when compared to the new models - roughly similiar specs (same cpu, same chipset, same amount of ram, though dd2, not ddr3) for a lower price, and retains a firewire port - really handy for those who dabble in music or video work
the real beneftis the AL unibody design has are the enclosure - better heat dissipation, it's about 200g lighter, slightly thinner (that does make a difference when you're trying to pack it into a bag) and the multi-touch trackpad - i can't stress enough how awesome that is in OS X, though almost all of what I use it for is also supported on the macbook white's trackpad -two finger scrolling, tapping and drag lock

Re: Apple Quietly Upgrades Its Entry-Level MacBook Specs
I really don't like the unibody thing, only because it makes it impossible to change the battery and I think the hard drive too. In a laptop that is just stupid IMO.
999 for it, not bad! In Greece it is 990, euros that is and not for the same specs Hint, it's not better. http://www.plaisio.gr/product.aspx?p...F1CA25A7636D85
