New 13-inch MacBook to be Bumped to 2.4GHz, NVIDIA 320M

The current MacBook has an LED LCD display so it'd be a step back if the new one didn't have one. Overall, very predictable update. Incoming UK price rise to £849 too of course.
What's a viable alternative at this price range?

I think this company steals them. They go to the Apple Sweatshop and steal them. How else are they getting ahold of this stuff.
Yeah I would expect the same but with the exchange rate and tax blah blah blah we might see it sneak under to £799
Made in USA? Great idea, BUT be prepared to pay double to triple the retail prices we're paying now.
The MBP went up in price with its recent update so unless the US price goes down, the only way for it to go here in the UK is up. The exchange rate is pathetic anyway.
Come Apple! Get over 5400 RPM HDD's, I mean really, and 2GB of RAM
Correct me if I'm wrong. The WD av-25 series with 5400rpm seems superior than any other 7200rpm ones
Oh, I'm quite sure Apple has similar contracts with foreign manufacturers, filled with threatening language. It's just difficult or impossible to *enforce* them in cases like this. The best they can do is pull their business from the source of the leak, which is non-trivial.
Well Im hoping it might go down education season is about to land and this is the time were its gets busy with education institutes and students start to buy. Im hoping for lower prices but Im just wishing and hoping.
I understand where you're coming from, I hope it goes down too, but Apple wouldn't put two identically specced machines £200 apart and then have it $200 apart in the US and as long as the exchange rate is below £1 -> $1.50, the price is going up. At least you should get a free iPod and possibly a printer.

Ah, but faster drive = greater power consumption. "X Hours of Battery Life" is the new "Less than Y Inches Thin"
And the base 21" iMac..?
Clearly you've never been to South East Asia!

It's an entry level machine...
Did the form factor look a little bit different than the current MacBook?
It looked a little more rounded, to me.
*** Edit ***
Looking at the current MacBook on the Apple website, it looks the same. I guess it is just my OLDER MacBook that looks a bit more square.

Nope. Apple will likely use Clarkdale CPU's for the 21.5 iMacs which come with Intel's IGP. I'm expecting Apple to use the ATI Radeon 54XX for the entry level iMac.And the entry level 21" iMac..?
May 18th? I hope this coincides with new ACDs and a Mac Pro update. Please Apple, it's been so long...
no they are not. You can hear them building all those products in the background.
BREAKING NEWS: Apple, inc invades Vietnam over iPhone 4G and MacBook 2.4 leak. Hundreds of thousands of casualties expected.
I think apples military can take Vietnam, apple has so many nukes from all the outdated products. Once people recycle there old computer after getting a new one they become nukes. Also the iPods become gernades and the broken headphones either become assassination wire or are used in the nukes. The old airports serve as long range transmiters so apple can sit in there headquarters and just press a button and they have full control of the nuke from long range.and the gps from all the recycled first gen iPhones guides the nukes. So let's move on we talked about the iNuke, iNade, and the iWire. So next is the WTF ********* OMG IM BEING ATTAC............End Transmission
