New MacBooks

New MacBooks are up on the Apple site. I may be incredibly late with this one, but it interests me because I used to work at a Mac Store and stuff like this was pretty much all we talked about. Now I could kinda care less, but it still looks pretty spiffy. It's also good to know the one I currently have isn't completely trash-and-burn obsolete, since they are still selling them at a nominally discounted price.




Hello, I will turn you into a new person


Other than the larger track pad and the solid aluminium casing, it seems like the only major upgrades are 2 gigs of RAM in the base model and a slight hard drive bump.

Oh, and apparently it's the "Greenest" MacBook yet. I'm not sure if that means you can bury it in your compost heap once its screen goes out or if it's using signicantly less power, but it kinda makes me gag when every product from Tampons to Televisions claim to be "greener than ever".
