It's about freaking time! The ComboDrive is officially dead. Good riddance:

EDIT: The link unfortunately goes to the main Macbook info page. Just click "Compare", then click "Complete Specs".

I did notice that. That machine is looking very tempting right now.

No kidding. It took them long enough.

I can't find it!
But they might have just not put super drive underneath because all of them have it now.

i did notice that. they could have at least updated the whitebook with older nvidia intergrated chips like the 8100. i have the intergrated 7150m which i got new last year. even intels x4500 is better than there older x3100.somthing lol.but i guess since they put in the superdrive they charge the ukers the extra 20£ cause before it was only 699£

Ouch. Indeed. Being a Mini owner myself (granted, not a ComboDrive) I should have realized this.

Perhaps my proclamation was a bit premature. :)
