That's a possibility. Would make sense too to have the Black and White polycarbonate models as just "MacBooks" at $999 with 2.13 GHz.
Then all the unibodies as "MacBook Pros" starting at say 13" for $1,399 and 2.53 GHz.
So do it yourself, takes a minute and will save you a lot of money.
Return it, you have a 14 day window.that is a surprise. i bought a white macbook and got it yesterday...
Does anybody know if these new upgrade Macbooks will be in the stores today? I want to go buy a white macbook tonight in the store to get the free ipod as part of the back to school promo, but I'm afraid they will have the outdated/not upgraded macbooks in stores still.. thoughts? I might just call the apple store
I'm confused as to why they have not switched to aluminum for the $999 macbooks
It's down to cost. The unibody manufacturing process doesn't come cheap.
I think it would be more logical to rebrand UMBs and UMBPs as macbooks and ditch the white one. I see no logic in rebranding them as macbook pros, i usually refer to macbook pros as macbooks (though it did confuse my friend when i talked about a 17" macbook)
The white book has been getting some nice updates and keeps it fresh for its $999 price.
I recall seeing some threads about the MacBooks getting the better quality screens akin to the MBAir's. Was that all MB's or just the AlumMBs?
If the white MB has the improved screens too, that makes for a great machine for the price (for my needs).

How hard is it to swap the drives on these? I haven't checked it out in awhile. I was thinking this would be a nice machine for the wife, since she really doesn't do a whole heckuva lot other than Facebook, pics, e-mail, and videos of the kid.
EDIT
Nevermind, that's pretty damn easy. This is a good deal.

Wow! For $999, that machine just gets better and better. I had an original 2006 model and I was amazed time and time again of how much I could accomplish on that 13" wonder. The new ones with Nvidia graphics and faster RAM blows the old ones out of the water. $999 is an amazing deal.
What kills me is that the PC Hunter ads would has the public believing that this Mac does not exist. It boils my blood to know people are going out and wasting $1000 on a PC because they don't think they can get a MacBook for under a grand.

It would be nice if they introduce that new carbon fiber coating they've been working on for the macbook range. I'd buy a new blackbook to replace my aging whitebook
Part of me thinks that they might introduce a 15" macbook (hopefully in black/CF), kill off the 2.0 Alu Macbook and just have the 2.4, they have been a few hints of apple wanting to make a few low end range changes.
It'll make the options a lot like the old ibook/powerbook range.

I wish I needed a new computer right now, because this machine is more and more a great bargain.
Oh snap! I just bought one as a present for 'someone'. That sucks.
Oh well, who cares, I won't be using it anyway!

Since selling MacBooks with overclocked processors would set up Apple for massive liability, I would assume it is a different processor.
OMG - They did it on a non-Tuesday. Sacrilege ! Cats sleeping with dogs! My world is collapsing around me!
Ha! I thought they might but I was really expecting to see all the MacBooks bumped. This brings the White past the low-end Aluminum so that will need the next bump.
