Apple Unveils New Macbook
Several readers have written in to mention that Apple has released the new Macbook on their site. Yahoo! has details from the press release: "With prices starting at just $1,099, the MacBook lineup includes three models: a 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz MacBook in a newly designed, sleek white enclosure and a 2.0 GHz MacBook in a stunning new black enclosure. The new MacBook offers performance up to five times faster than the iBook and up to four times faster than the 12-inch PowerBook with a completely new system architecture including a 667 MHz front-side bus and 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory expandable to 2GB."
If it wasn't for OS X I wouldn't consider ANY Apple laptop even vaguely acceptable.
Even the Powerbook/Macbook Pro keyboard feels like crap after you've used a Thinkpad, and of course the single mouse button on the trackpad just adds insult to injury.
because I upgraded to a 64 bit processor, I upgraded to a 64 bit version of XP.
Wow. Great. How's that 64-bit version of Solitare working out for you? Is the internet prettier in 64 bits? How about e-mail? Do you get less spam with 64 bits?
You, sir, may consider youself a victim of marketing hype.
