And MacBook screens only come in glossy now...

Supposedly (someone posted at Gizmodo) the black MacBook is only a $50 differential now, if you include the 80GB to 120GB hard drive upgrade, but I couldn't confirm that with the Apple Store being down for maintenance...]]>Nov 8th 2006 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/]]>Nov 8th 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/

I am glad that they updated the MacBook line and not the MacBook Pro line again thus making the MacBook Pro C2D that I received two days ago obsolete already ... maybe they are waiting until next week :-)]]>Nov 8th 2006 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/

And how increased memory consumption would improve performance? Mac OS X is still 32 bits because it is faster that way.

IIRC, Apple promised to ship both 32bit and 64bit libraries allowing 32/64bit applications to live side by side w/o any effect on end-user.]]>Nov 8th 2006 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/

Er, a lot of people buy GM cars and shop at Wal-Mart and eat at McDonalds. Doesn't make it right. Or better.

And feel free to price out Apple vs. any major tier 1 manufacturer. Apple comps generally cost about the same. And in the case of the towers, cost less. ]]>Nov 8th 2006 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 8th 2006 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/

Meaning, it looks crap on windows and pretty good on Mac, because Safari uses some proper downscaling algorithm whereas Windoze doesn't. Inexplicably.

The new MBPs - ok, but it's now time to get off that super-simple product matrix and introduce a pro subnotebook and some 15" high def MacBooks. In fact, both MB and MBP lines should offer 12, 13, 15, and 17 inch versions.

On a side-note, it's also time that the MBP gets a design that can compete with the blackbook. Better battery life would be needed, too.]]>Nov 14th 2006 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/08/apples-macbook-goes-core-2-duo-too/Nov 14th 2006 1:16PM
