What a legend.
he he he...im disappointed too.... but it might be a bit harsh for the disappointed ppl
I have a 17" MBP and want to go down to a 13" for portability but dont wanna loose speed, im on a 2.33ghz C2D with 2GB now, so was hoping for a MB of that spec, not far off.
Will i notice it being slower if I got for a Black book with extra ram??

Awesome!! I'll be buying one from UK store when it's updated
What is this LED backlight that everyone keeps talking about tho? Does the screen not light up anyway? lol

My question is this:
If you bought the old one, let's say yesterday, are you supposed to pay the 10% fee to get this the next day? Consider that you have OBVIOUSLY opened the box to use your machine.

Improvements
Hi, I just joined...
So, while this thing plays out and we see if it goes up today or not, could one of you guys who understands the details of the hardware perhaps explain how significant the improvements are?
For instance, the clock speed on the 2,16 has gone up and the one on the cheap one hasn't, so does that mean that the gap between the two of them has widened?
And 4 GB of RAM, will that show significant improvement? Etc.
And the graphic cards? What would be the before and after comparison?
Please enlighten the less knowledgable of us!
Thanks!!

No update on the spanish site yet :-(
Have the prices remained the same? Or have they bumped them up? I don't remember the old prices.
It's not the greatest update, but I think it's good enough.
But, untimely me, I just made an order yesterday for the 2,16 GHz. Hopefully as I ordered the laptop at a retail store and not online, and that I payed via bank transfer instead of credit card, I am hoping that when I go back to the store to pick the MacBook up I will be able to get the newer one. That is if the prices remain the same, of course.
Saludos.

If the white iMacs use the same ram as the 'older' models of the MB, then yeah. SSD DDR2, the ram hadn't changed on the page when I placed my order
Yeah. 200 MHz speed bump for the low low price of only $250.00
Way to fleece the customers, Apple.
This new machine should be using PC2-5300
That would be a bump up from the 4200rpm drive?
There's also the option of a 5400rpm 250Gb hard drive on the MB and MBP that I'm sure wasn't' there before!

This is great!
Going to ask some questings in Buying tips-forum and buy as soon as the norwegian applestore updates!
Too bad about the combodrive, guess i'll have to go for the middle one then.

Yes, and about time too! I know this because I'd have paid for that upgrade in August when I bought my MBP if it had have been available.

Ok, so we're talking the exact same type of ram that current macbooks use yeah?
DDR2, 5300, 667Mhz, 200-pin etc?
Nearly spit my cup of coffee reading this ! Nice surprise ! Although the US pages now seem back to the old MB with a 4GB option....mmmm....c'mon new specs - come to papa !

The LED backlight gives a purer brighter light, normal LCDs use some sort or other light panel to light them. LEDs also last longer and use less power.
Spec sheets updated at Apple.com for MB and MBP
Apple just updated the spec sheets on the website (not only in the store).

The Ireland store is still selling the old one too... This is a little confusing. I wonder would it be cheaper to buy 4GB of RAM yourself rather then adding 500 euros to the price. The 250GB 5400rpm hard drive is welcome. That old 200GB option that was running at 4200rpm was a bit of a joke.
