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."

Leave it to Apple to set the trends again. I bet all the other companies are gonna copy them and come out with black laptops now... ; )

Wait until you see the new Apple Beige Box (tm) line that's set to replace the high end G5 line (as soon as enough important 3rd party software has gone fat binary)

These mac intel Beige Box (tm) are going to blow the PC world's mind - you've never seen the sort of bold looks and design as the new Apple Beige Box (tm).

What I'd like to see

If they use Windows, they'll call me about their blue screens of death. What to do?

First you stop installing Windows ME on your friends computers.

Black MacBook

I mean, it's really not that great value for the black ones. It's quite an expensive price bump for the black finish and an extra few gigs of hard dr....OH GOD I WANT A BLACK MACBOOK!

My purchase.

[the web]

Well, I'm gonna get a white 2.0 dual core, upgrade the harddrive for $60 and buy a $5 can of black spray paint. A net savings of $135!

Oh snap! Blogging and podcasting!

Introducing the superfast, blogging, podcasting, do-everything-out-of-the-box MacBook.

Finally, a laptop that can do blogging and podcasting. This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Go Apple!

Re:Family complete?

[Irish_Samurai]

The black and white iPods don't have a price difference, why would they charge a premium for something like that on the MacBook.

So your laptop can match your turtleneck?

Yay.

Vacation in Wilmington. Ah yes, "A Place To Be Somebody" where "It's Good to be First."

Yes, I often find myself thinking "Oooh, St. Moritz or Wilmington? I just can't decide."

[s73v3r]

Hell, I remember when I was born, my parents thought the family was complete. 3 years and a broken condom later, my little brother would have to disagree with you.

Re:Family complete?

[baldass_newbie]

I was there.
There was no broken condom.

Re:black U2 iPod taught them something!

[twistedcubic]

Most of the U2 iPods were sold, not to U2 fans, but to black-colored electronics fans.

That's funny. None of the black people I know have one.
