Surely they will get rid of the white one soon?
It's now the only model without an LED backlit screen. Once the production costs of the new aluminium ones drop, they'll drop the prices and get rid of the white MacBook, if nothing else but for the "green" image. Only a question of when? Here's hoping for Macworld!

Or eventually stick an LED display in the white one's and offer them at the same price point; probably in the first half of next year.

I guess they could do that. But the white doesn't fit into the lineup anywhere. On apple.com, even the Mac Mini is on that banner scrolly thing, but the white MacBook is no where to be seen.
I re-watched the keynote he said something like it was the best selling notebook so we will continue selling them. He never said for a very long time.
Yeah I think they are producing them. I think everyone waited for the price to be $999 after it replaced the 12-inch iBook, which had been that cost.
My first post here on MacRumors: Eat 'em up!
The old "low-end" Macbook Pro is going for the same price as the new high-end Macbook Aluminum with the Educational Discount. A steal for some?
My best guess would be yeah. That is, if people are gonna die without firewire, right? <no sarcasm>
I cant see the old macbook pro. And how to get it with edu discount?
