Just like with the last iteration, the only only substantive difference between the MB/MBP is the graphics.
Now that there's so little between the machines physically, it just makes that point stand out more.

thanks, it says 2011. got it this year with apple care. hmmm so it looks like i only got 1 year with it, then 2 years with the apple care, otherwise i woulda have gotten 3 years and that would have lasted till 2012

Gotta admit - the MacBook does look more tempting than it did. Two main problems with it for me tho :
1) I've got a pile of FireWire kit (iPod, various drives)
2) 1280 res screen is too small, 1440 is doable, 1680 would be better

Bought in early March (after last MBP upgrades). In May I received e-mail saying that 90 days phone support is up please buy applecare etc.
In the e-mail did you have to register an agreement like a normal AppleCare purchase or was your product already covered (i.e. on the website prior to the 8 months what did it say).
I bought mine online HE, not over the phone and not in store so have not spoken to an Apple rep at all during the process, dunno if that makes a difference. Been meaning to call on phone and clarify at some point. Not really a student though, don't want no trouble, although they can't prove I wasn't at the time of purchase I guess.

I'd love to know the reason for the delay in updating it.
I'm on MSN now matey, was downstairs watching footy earlier
I shall (pending the ability for the display working with the MP) be purchasing the new display....It'll be like having my iMac back, but with MP machine by my side haha.
Also I'm as already mentioned considering the MBA, although the MB seems the better choice?
Anway its late, and my head is spinning....*yawn*
Night Night!.

No real reason that it's more since it's cheaper in the US now, but it does come with a SuperDrive now and not a Combo, which is nice since the Combo is pointless in this day and age.

I have a feeling apple want to give the 17" some quad core, High end gfx power and will have to wait until macworld for that, other wise MWSF will be all talk and no trousers
some of you guys are pretty upset by the prices and so was I, its obvious these new macbooks were made with new technology and processes that cost more, however as we have seen with other technologies like lcd etc the process will get cheaper by wwdc and the old macbook will probably be dropped and the new ones will start to get cheaper.
But for now Im afraid its the price you have to pay for a "Sexy Beast" of a notebook

Apple are insane....
The new basic Macbook is us$333 more in the UK than it is in the US!! You arent telling me that it costs them us$300 to ship in bulk to the UK....
I will be sticking with my trusty old CD Macbook - its battered but is still ideal for what I want. If the new ones had come in at £800 I may have been tempted, but not almost a grand, when you see what else you can get for that price.
