Macbook bump speculation

[relativist]

since there are some cpu's intel has released that can be directly applied to the macbook, a small 133Mhz bump basically. many are aware of this possibility. my question is, if they do a bump of the cpu/hd/etc. for the macbook do you think they will include the white macbook in those bumps?

I'm thinking it could go either way. Here's the bumps I'm hoping for:

White:
2.0Ghz/120GB/2GB DDR2 -> 2.133Ghz/160GB/2GB DDR2

Aluminum:
2.0Ghz/160GB/2GB -> 2.133Ghz/250GB/2GB
2.4Ghz/250GB/2GB -> 2.533GHz/320GB/4GB

Of course, if they bumped up the high end macbook, they'd also have to bump the low end macbook pro. But, as I said, they might just leave the white macbook alone.

Hard to say but I doubt they would update the Unibodies and not the White. I think the MacRumor Buyers' Guide is wrong and that updates will come in May.

Cpu speed looks good i think the ram and hd are wrong. i think it will the hd will be 160 200 and 250 and 2gb ram all the way.

I guess you didn't feel like using one of the many other "When's the next update" threads eh?

lol, yea those threads are all the same:

1. What's the next update?
2. We don't know, buy now if you need it.
3. Did you do a search.
4. Why are you posting this.
5. Wait for SL.
6. Buy now if you need.
7. .
8. .
9. .

BTW, I've ordered my new Macbook, but I'm waiting till Wednesday to pick up, just in case there is a slight bump!

I think, if they start not updating the White Macbook, they are hinting an EOL for it, which would make sense IMO. But maybe not, maybe it will be around a long time.
