MacBook Core 2 Duo Released!

No wai :(

~Goes to flog Macbook~

I might sell this one and go for the second model, looks very reasonable with 80GB HD, faster CPU, Superdrive and 1 gb of memory. All for £110 extra!
 
Be careful though, they've stopped doing the cheap HE Applecare deal for £50. You now can only do the £150ish one :o

Tis a shame but then again when you think when your running on the battery the CPU is throttled anyway so the difference in performance would be quite small I feel. Impressive how they've adjusted the prices of RAM to reasonable amounts now though :)

BeatMaster :D
 
Funny that most people looking for pc laptop of similar spec (Core 2 Duo) do not mind buying current spec yet those looking for macbook would rather wait for Santa Rosa next year. :confused:

Don't matter really... my MacBook is doing what I'm throwing at it. That's good enough for me.

Now bring on Leopard.

Same here. I'm a little miffed that my laptop is now "old-hat," but that's what you get when you have a limited, clearly defined product line such as Apple has. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it. It can do everything I want it to, and processing power isn't even an important factor for me — not only is memory more of a bottleneck, the processor rarely runs at full pelt, and when it does it sounds like concorde is alive and well again!

Pondering saving the money on 2GB of RAM to throw in here and putting it towards a new MacBook Pro next year, but otherwise it's no big deal :)

Applecare is already pre-registered as the warranty belongs the to the unit. If you enter your serial on Apple's website it'll say your covered until 2009 :cool:

Oh really? :o

I was under the assumption it's for any macbook and so on?

Reason? The guy who served me at apple store said I don't want it I could always sell it on fleabay :\
 
Gah, i'm out-of-date now :( :p

Saying that i'm extremely glad Apple have realised that 512MB is just too small now (what i'm running on - will hopefully get 2GB in the future...).

Oh and a MBP is certainly better for gaming due to the dedicated graphics card :)

Same here I dont see how I would see a difference between mine and a C2D version with the stuff I run on my MacBook. Saving up for 2GB of RAM and that should keep me going for ages.

I cant wait for leopard, its going to be ace!
 
Pah its a bummer its come out about a month after I got mine :( But its only about 10% overall improvement and lets be honest the core duo mac books are fast as fooook!

Might be different for store bought ones as you'll have an Applecare box and such, mine was just the general manual and CD. Check your serial :)

Snap!

I bought mine a month or so ago upgraded to 2GHz, 1GB Ram and 100GB HD. For about £70 extra I could have had 2GHz C2D, Dual Layer Superdrive, 2GB Ram and 160GB HD.

I shouldn't be but i am gutted :(
 
all i have got to say on the matter is:

WOOOO!

oh yes, that is so mine this time in april!!! :P (lol, have to save up first after forking out £2k on an iMac)
