So Apple went and beefed up the spec of the 13" Alu MacBook. You can see that they'd made it too damn powerful for it's own good, so they stuck a Pro after it's name. It even has Firewire 800, a back-lit keyboard and an SD card slot (someone's been doing their research). The 2.26GHz, 160GB HD model is priced at £899; the 2.53GHz, 250GB HD version is £1149. Both are available now.
The new 15" Macbook has the SD-card where it used to have an ExpressCard slot (why?) the 17" MBP's battery and a new LED display. There's three configurations: 2.53GHz, 250GB HD, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M - £1299.01; 2.66GHz, 320GB HD, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 256MB - £1499; and 2.8GHz, 500GB, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB HD - £1699. All come with 4GB of Memory.
The 17" MacBook Pro gets a 2.8GHz processor, 500GB HD and keeps it's ExpressCard slot - all for £1849.
MacBook Airs also got a look-in. the 1.86GHz, 120GB SATA HD, is £1149. The 2.13GHz, 128GB SSD is £1349. Both are equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card.
So, that means that the only consumer notebook left is the white plastic MacBook. Surely there's some new offerings to look forward to; perhaps they left these for the return of Big Steve?
