Haha. 3rd post and already someone is disappointed.

It's strange you know, the MB design is not even two years old yet and people are expecting an entire design change. Maybe that would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath for at least another year!
 
The black model does not have 2GB of RAM by default. It is still 2x512MB.

Product pages not updated yet. Click on MacBook in the store, then click on "Compare Specs" near the middle of the page. it shows the new specs.

I'm joining this community waiting for the Holy Grail.

I'm telling you this from a reliable source who prefers to remain anonymous : the new Macbook and Macbook Pro will be announced January the 14th, 2008.

The same goes for Office 2008 for Mac, a huge upgrade.

So you've got to be patient. 2 1/2 months to go. Save your money !
 
The MacBook Pro just got a 2.6GHz upgrade option! This is definitely just a small refresh and I'm expecting something bigger by January or March.
 
Wow, I just had the 2.2 in my cart and I put in my card info, and they told me I had been logged out due to inactivity. :mad::mad::mad:!!

So I go back to my cart and find it stuffed with a 2.16 ghz thingy that I don't want. Boo you Apple lol
 
hmmmm

Yeah im soooooooooooooo dissapointed. Whatever happened to the aluminun casing..Grrrrrr:(

You do realize the wireless reception sucks with aluminum casing as compared to plastic, right?

The main reason I have a Macbook is because of the superior wireless reception where I live when compared to the 1.67 PowerBook and the MacBook Pro I previously owned. I wish Apple would give an option for the matte screen on the MacBook, as that's my main dislike with my current one.
 
That is funny, everyone was so busy reading and cropping the pics for the MacBook they missed the 2.6GHz MBP. :p

And I know it was there when arn posted his picture, since Apple had already updated the specs then.
 
I'm fine with the case. Less chance to dent but the crumbling wrist rest has me slightly concerned.
LED backlight or not is not a huge deal for me. Would have been nice but whatever.
Still a combo drive on the low end makes me sad.
A BTO "real" GPU would have been awesome but was sadly a pipedream.

Anyway, I'll be on my way to Atlanta from Europe in two weeks, take advantage of exchange rates and pick one up. Hope the 3100 can keep up with WoW ;) come on, someone rush to a store, buy one and report back how the GPU is faring :D
 
You gotta laugh!
