New MacBook (black/white)?

alecalixto

Gentlemen,



Had you hear about a possible new MacBook (non Pro) with LED backlight, Penryn processors, 2GB and/or aluminum case to be lauched in 2008?



I know that last refresh occured in november but these new features are quite necessary for MacBook that becomes to stay behind of non-Apple notebooks =(



Regards,

Alex, BR

I hope there will be a new one, I have been looking to buy my first Apple laptop for the last couple of months.



I can't really justify the money for a pro although I was coming close to forking out the extra cash.



I would like too see a macbook that is inkeeping with the macbook air/pro finish. Also with the new touchpad gestures and definatly an LED backlight screen.



It would be nice to see a bigger hard-drive as standard and more base RAM to bring it in line with the Dell competition.



A better graphics card with the ability to run some minor games would also be nice - but I guess that blurs the boundry to the pro too much.



Penryn on the pro sounds like it is iminent, but I can't help feeling that the recent uplift is going to delay things on the macbook.



But I guess Steve is not going to respond to this - so like everyone else I will have to wait and see. I am also waiting for MMS on the iphone before I finally move on from my Palm Treo 680.

I don't think you'll see this before Montevina ships in May.

Answer: Probably not



Personally, I think it would be a great business move to see Apple unify the MacBook and MacBook Pro into one lineup where you get to choose screen size, CPU, HDD, RAM, Integrated/dedicated graphics etc independant of one another.



Don't hold your breath though.

If you need a notebook then buy a MacBook right now. If not then wait for the next update.

anyone have the feeling of Apple doing a silent update for their aluminium macbooks? (assuming the design retains)
