Haha.. gotta love Intel.

Macbook site

Bought a Mac Book in the past month? Tough luck... your computer is now 20% slower for the money you paid!

Sigh~ Anyway, a timely bump. Those Dell RM 4000 machines are stealing your market share

Can you check the price for the US store? mine here cannot, they say will be back soon, site under renovation. Are you having the same?

omg.~!! finally.. when will mac mini become core 2 duo?

at least USD 1099.....

as shown here

http://www.apple.com/macbook/macbook.html

dont know if it is applicable for the C2D macbook....

hoping also...

with this 'new' model, i hope they have resolved the issues from MB Core Duo e.g. discoloration, noisy fan etc.....

Finally the wait is over.. A nice update though.. Maybe we need to wait next year for the graphics upgrade..

ya.. a nice update. jsut hope that this version won be a buggy as the 1st gen macBook.

i hate GMA950.... gimme Nvidia or ATI.... my bonus is coming up... think about core2 macbook instead of imac...

The major thing that separates the Mac Book from teh Pro version is the graphics. Its their strategy for you to get their better model.

Even dell offers 7400 nvidia on their rm 4k C2d lappy.. sigh~

now the big question......

Is it worth it if I sell my CD Macbook off and get a C2D Macbook?

Does the claimed 20% speed increase that significant?

Personaly, I am not changing it.....

I got my Macbook for about 6 months only and $$$ does play a very huge part in this...

The 20% speed increase wont be that noticible i think...but it is more future proof than the older CD macbooks...

Nowadays we complain of 20% speed increase being insufficient. I remember the days of 133MHz, where 166MHz seems like a godsent! LOL..

Or the bump from 14.4kb/s modem to 56k modem (i didn't buy the in-betweens)... Whoa, we're like so psyched.

Now, our iTunes rip, Photo resize, multitasking advantage is about 10-20% faster on the C2D, and we're saying... "its not noticable"... hehehe...

If you've got a 2-3 year old computer, then only decide whether to switch or not! Technology is cruel... they keep coming out with new stuff!

well i really want to get the macbook but the main drawback is the graphics...
i guess like the others say it's apple's marketing strategy...
$$ is alwiz the problem guess i'm stuck with macbook for awhile...

i dont think you should sell ur CD MacBook...

i'm stick wif my lovely 1st Gen of MacBook!
looking at my model with the newest 1,
the only different is upgrading CD 1.83GHz to C2D 1.83GHz.
and the rest is still the same...

Will the price be the same? hehe

so the price here in msia still the same for the new ones?

well it should be..i guess

If you hate GMA950, go to dedicated graphics lorr.. Don't chase something that you didn't like

I think it's a nice update for the MB, CPU, Superdrive, RAM.. Actually I think it worth for your money.. But do you really need all those upgrade? As for me, I will stick with the current MB for the time being until I really need those upgrade.. Well, technology grew very fast, you need a lot of money if you want to chase them.


I found a site.. Maybe interesting

doh, I bought a macbook last month! Well I'll survive

Better wait till Leopard release or the next upgrade which should be around April...

If u get it now, u'll need to spend extra to get Leopard...

It's a good idea to get it right after it's released, but with a leopard looming around ur house, it's better to wait. A lot of people said leopard will be released during MacWorld. It's an Apple thing.
