Just when you thought the perfect form of white polycarbonate couldn’t get any better, Apple had to go and redesign the Macbook, and the rest of us are left picking our jaws off the floor.
The new white Macbook, still at the $999 price-point seems even more ethereal than it’s predecessor. A new shapely round unibody enclosure, a thinner screen, brighter display, glass multi-touch trackpad and an amazing 7 hour battery life gives this little brother of the Macbook Pro line even more of a family resemblance.
So, what will you get for the baseline model? A 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of memory and a 250 GB hard drive. I am certainly in love with the design and configuration offered, but sill disappointed that Apple couldn’t manage to lower the price on their cheapest model.
You’re still undoubtedly getting the best bang for your buck with Apple’s latest laptop creation, but I know many will be disappointed with their seemingly immovable price tag.
