theducksAs predicted, Apple has released a MacBook. Alex's 25 word or less review:
- OMG Black, but $189 more?
- GMA950 integrated graphics, as I predicted = graphic chip not falling off logic board ftw
- Glossy 1280x800 screen! squee!
- MiniDVI to VGA, DVI adaptors are optional extras now
- GigE is cute
- 60W MagSafe is a bit annoying.. means we couldn't swap and change between my 85W MacBook Pro
- USB Modem is not a suprise
- Neither is SATA hard drive
- I hope the optical drive is still 12.7mm vs 9.5mm on MBP

mkj points out it's 160gms more than the old iBook. A tiny sub-notebook would be nice, but can't have everything
All in all, I'm glad to see the small-laptop thingy sorted out into just one model. Base model is (edu) $1574.10 vs $1438 for the base iBook
