It could be to force the majority to buy the mid-range which is what they'd rather, much like Apple TV: 40GB for £199 or 160GB for £269, it makes people feel like they're getting a good deal.

For me Apples options only makes it feel like I'm beeing screwed, then butt ****ed, and then ran over with a car, and then ****ed again, and then shoot in the head.
And I don't mean that in a good way.
 
Apple Sux

Dude, they are bringing out new Penryn Macbook PRo's in January! I mean even if you got the 2.6 option, it would be obsolete in a couple of months anyway. Penryn will be much better and we also might see some case redesign among other things.

In any case, 2.6 won't be much faster than 2.4. and probably much hotter

I know but I'm going overseas at the end of the year and needed to buy a new computer before then (due to tax purposes, needed to be bought in Australia)

Im very unhappy with Apple's custom order policy

correct me if i'm wrong.but compare to normal lcd screen the led produce: more colour,use less power,they are longlasting,they light up more faster therefor higher respons time,they are incredibile thin compare to lcd because of small compenents.and the green thing they do not contain mercury..
But they are very pricy..
:):)
 
Apple didn't let me down after all. New 2.2GHz MacBook coming by Christmas! :D

I had no idea that you felt so deeply about what Apple did to you :cool:

I agree. I wouldn't speed an extra $250 for 200MHz bump. I would like to see with Penryn MacBook Pro's a new design or maybe in a darker Aluminum? I'm not sure. The graphics card (GeForce 8600M GT) is fine and will suffice for the next MacBook Pro revision. I don't know what the power requirements and heat dissipation of the 8700M GT versus the 8600M GT.
 
Just letting everyone know, there is also an option to choose a 4GIG ram for the mac books!

Whoever pays Apple $850 for 4 GB is an idiot. You can buy it yourself for over $500 less.

Thats great for those determined to get a Mac, but for potential switchers, price is important, and they see themselves having to pay an unnecessary premium when the only improved thing over the low-end MB they want is a superdrive...
