I bet they're going to update the rest of the MacBook line in a few months. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Apple is intentionally trying to make the WhiteBook a better deal just to clear out the rest of their inventory.
Let's hope they keep in line with that thinking, so my "thinking" of waiting for a few months for a new laptop for the wife, can knit me a "new" white Macbook for around $850.
Seriously, I almost bought one last week, she needs it primarily for web, e-mail and wp. Glad I didn't buy it now after this update, and I'm starting to wonder if I should not hold off a bit longer and see if a price drop happens.
That makes no sense, as they are making a new updated model.
If they wanted to clear them out, they wouldn't be making more of them.
Yeah, you're probably right. I guess Apple's just going to keep making them until they aren't selling as well.
I love my WhiteBook, but if they for some reason put DDR3 into the WhiteBooks down the road, I'm buying one for sure.
I know there's a thread somewhere but I tried searching and couldn't find any results so I thought I'd ask here. I noticed that the Whitebook refresh includes 800MHz memory. Will that same memory also be recognized as 800MHz and run at that speed on the earlier '09 Whitebooks? Will upgrading to that memory reduce battery life or make the machine run hotter?
Yes it works. I'm not sure about battery life, but I doubt the change would be noticeable. As far as heat goes, I doubt you'd ever notice it running too hot. If it were too noticeable, I doubt Apple would officially support it.
Thanks for the quick response! I'll try to get some new memory tomorrow and report back when I can.
I think everybody should be sorry now, when they questioned few guys who started thread about an expected update on the 27th. Particularly a guy "newbie" who started a thread few days ago, saying that he heard from somebody who works in an apple store that a surprise product is coming on the 27th, and i recall he said "if iphone upgrade is a valentine, the surprise upgrade is Christmas". Thanks newbie for the info
i was at that thread and the were exceptionally mean to him as well.
Unibodies Discreet Graphics?
It's nice to have a little bump. But does this mean, if the rumors of a 13" Macbook Pro are true, that they will get discreet graphics? For me, Firewire and discreet graphics make a 13" Macbook a Pro model.
