Sorry, I've walked into this discussion a little late in the day so my apolofies if this has been brought up already - won't this make the gap in specs between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro too close for comfort? If I was in the market for a Pro, I'd expect to see a significant differential in performance between the Macbook and my premium product. I wouldn't see the graphics card/RAM capacity/backlit keyboard etc etc as being enough to make me go for it unless the MacBook was crippled in some other way...

Yes you're a bit late. By the time you read the other 249 posts the store will probably be back up and answer your question😉

Personally, I think the dedicated graphics card puts a big performance difference between the MB and MBP, especially for people using Pro apps, like Photoshop/Illustrator/Quark etc.
 
I Think C2D MacBook Tomorrow But Election May Delay A Day.

Nothing different except C2D at same speeds, 3GB option, 160GB and 200GB HD Offerings.

how rightly picked was multimedia?

Now... Warbrain (and others who said never ever ever this year for the MB) not looking so confident now are we? 🙂

Edit: I know this is a tad premature - the shop is still offline - but I'm actually pretty confident about this - finally....at last it's going to happen!

hey man! don't jinx it. just let it be...
 
Ok, it's been maybe 45 mins since I hoped it could probably take half an hour to get those updated. Maybe it'll be good for health to take a small break and make some coffee instead of banging F5?

Relax....and let your F5 key get some rest 😀
 
Hah.

I would laugh, so hard, if they announced that the reason why all the apple sites all over the world are going down are due to the fact it's being refreshed over a million times a minute. 🙂
 
Fasten your seat belts. The MacBooks are on their way. 😀

Now I am getting ideas of returning back the MBP for the MB. Naah, The MBP is cool. 😎
