If anything (and I'm hoping there is)...

2.13GHz and 2.53GHz and maybe stock 250GB and 320GB HDD with 500GB options.

I normally wouldn't think anything would happen before after the back-to-school promo ends, but I think it's totally possible considering the rumours of small updates and the fact that the white Macbook has a higher clock speed and better HDD options right now.
 
...the white Macbook has a higher clock speed and better HDD options right now.

This is exactly why will have to see a small bump in the very near future. Currently, the WhiteBook is $300 cheaper and it has a better processor. The only other difference is the unibody, which I doubt warrants a $300 mark up.

Dont forget the unibody uses DDR3 ram.
 
I think its a good time for a stealth update in specs. However, it is a PERFECT time to announce built-in 3G/Macbook subsidizing since AT&T will be at WWDC and in the spotlight.
 
Absolutely nothing.

Do you know what WWDC is? Any idea?

Yes, I've searched through several threads to find posts that TallestSkull has made. Why? Because I HATE when people put their opinions across as fact - especially to make someone else seem foolish for their opinions. I have a friend who works at Future Shop that claims to have inside info about stuff and makes absolute statements all the time and argues with people about things and usually ends up being wrong (ie Future Shop will sell the iPhone... last summer).
Sure TallestSkull doesn't claim to have insider info but certainly comes across in threads as if his opinion is fact. I love being able to point it out when peole say one thing only have to exact opposite happen... it sure is a good thing that 'absolutely nothing' happened to the macbook line...
 
...If the white MacBook becomes the MacBook and the unibodies become little "Pro"s like some people are insanely thinking, prices will stay the same...

Another gem from this thread. People sure were insane to think the current UB macbooks would be in the pro line-up... and the prices sure did stay the same.

I mean, at this point I'm just being childish... kind of. I just really hate reading threads where people argue about things they have no real information about but present it as a fact.
