Thx. Didn't know Firefox reloads on F5 on Macs too. I use Command+R for everything.
PS: Damn, I have to poo... hope I don't miss anything 🙂

Alright then.

(Grudgingly drops rock)

I have it mapped to my mouse click-wheel's button

OMG! Zomug!.. It's here! UK store seems to be the first to have it.

 

[inmotion]

New Macbooks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vespats]

iMac 64bit in that case...

NO DEDICATED GRAPHIC - in that case i wait for the 64bit imac 🙂

and by the way $200 for 20gb more hd space and the color - interesting

 

[MrCrowbar]

Same processors as the 15" MBP. Integrated graphics though...

 

[KindredMAC]

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Ordering RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[inmotion]

once more... no battery life mention 😡

 

[ImNoSuperMan]

it`s There It`s Ther Omg Omg It`s Ther

Macbook Is Here

Omg

 

[iEdd]

Woah... $90 to go from 60GB to 80GB, yet to go from 60GB->80GB and Black it's $300... 😱
Classic white iBook(macbook) will be the one most people will have. I must say the specs/value pwns the MBP, even with intel GMA950s.

 

[phatspider]

Wow - the black one looks really nice

I notice the 12" Powerbook (and any mention of the powerbook) is gone from the store now

So black is identical spec but £130 more? That is ridiculous!

 

[phatspider]

I guess the closeness in spec between this and the MBP, will mean we will see a bump for the MBP farily soon?

Yea totally. We knew there would be Core Duo, but 2GHz is amazing. There's also a new keyboard 😱 and the magnetic latch. And it's only 1.08" thin. I'll give my store a call to ask if they have it.

200$ more because of black color and a 80gb hdd instead of a 60gb hdd? i don't think that's worth it... though i'd really like a black notebook 🙁

 

[dswoodley]

Ordered! With education discount! (only $50 though). Mid-level model, upgraded RAM and Hard Drive for $1334. Not bad considering I paid nearly $1900 for my first iBook in 2001 and the specs are still better than my current 12 in PB that I paid over $1400 for.

 

[ImNoSuperMan]

OH NO. Not even a choice for dedicated grafix at all. Sh#t. I was so excited. I`ll pay 1500 for the same with a 64/128 MB dedicated one.

Yeah.. Kinda sucks, seeing as black or white costs Apple exactly the same to do. Maybe a $100US would be worth it [as $60US of that would be for the HDD], but still, why is there a need to charge just for the black look?🙁
EDIT: We shouldn't bitch about every apple release... Nothing is perfect 😛 It's awesome that the price only went up $100US and 1.83GHz core duo. Dedicated graphics and B/W option all round would be nice, but it's a speedy little notebook for consumers so.. smile. 🙂

Well, you'd need 2 diffenernt mainboards then, one for integrated and one for dedicated graphics. But you can always put 2GB of RAM in there, so the 64MB the graphic takes should not hurt too much. The black one looks sexy indeed. Kinda like a mix of Thinkpads and the powerbooks...

We dont have to pay more for the Black iPod so why should we for the Mac Book

Unless Apple has plans to make the black iPod more expensive!!!!

 

[iEdd]

We dont have to pay more for the Black iPod so why should we for the MacBook.

Good point. I could understand the charging more for colours if they were less common. For example. $1099US for B/W, $1149US for Green/blue/red. It's just the "pro" look or Apple simply making a status symbol I guess.. 😱

 

[phatspider]

I wonder if the stores have these yet - am just down from regents Street so may take a look after work

Its the sort of thing i'd expect - supply and demand and all that. people want the black - so let them pay more for it

But its not the sort of thing I had learnt to expect from Apple - hey ho

 

[MrCrowbar]

I just called my store here and the guy told me the US stores have them on the shelves now.
