MacBook released (Intel-iBook)

[Macuber]

We've put up our Demo MacBooks up and running at my store (Actually got them the day after the annoucment and have them in stock). We have both 2.0 White and Black up and running. The white version we have Bookcamp running on it. Runs XP Home nicely. My staff placed a game on it and they were not pleased at it's speed (Too Choppy). On the Black version my techs were not too pleased about the trackpad. The oils/residue from your fingers leave that "Shiney" smudge on the trackpad/keys that is more obnoxious than the white model.

I wonder if this means Apple will be putting the 2.16 ghz in its cheaper MacBook Pro and the new 2.33 ghz in its more expensive models.  Also the cheapest MacBook could then get the 2 ghz, while the other MacBooks get the 2.16 ghz.

well one thing i think we can say for sure is that we won't exactly see apple instantly dropping the price of the laptops heh! Great news though.

What would you personally use that is "Graphics intensive" on a 13" $1099 notebook?

He meant a picture of Mauti and Evill sharing coronas while in speedos!
