Mmm MacBook

[theducks]

As 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

We're heading to my mother's tonight.. we can leave them leaning up against the front door if you think it'll be safe enough. We'll be leaving at about 6, so they'll only be there for 45 minutes or so..
