    i’d just like to know why it costs over $1000 more to buy in australia, given the exchange rate difference and shipping, it should only be around $1,500. Where does the extra $600 go?

    Yeah well

    I was so looking forward to Steve Jobs presenting the new MacBooks.
    I was thinking of buying one when I heard the roomers of $800 Dollars that could mean UK price of £400-500 although I was very skeptical.
    The old basic white MacBook retailed at £699.00 now the new one has been released it is £719.00 and the new metal MacBook is a massive £949.00??? Has Steve Jobs NOT heard of a Global Recession??? Bill Gates was seen with a smirk on his face when he heard about the prices and he said thank god Jobs won’t steel any of my users, well not this time round anyway.
    I will stick with trying to get IATKOS & KALYWAY to WORK as this is value for MONEY.

    I was hoping that the gorgeous colours on the latest batch of ipods was a sign of things to come in the new macs. *pout*

    Three things:
    1. I’ve owned both Macs and PCs, and I FAR prefer Macs.
    2. I’ve owned the same Macbook since 2003 and am still happy with it.
    3. Virus? What’s a virus?

    It’s sad what passes for journalism these days. Frankly it doesn’t sound like anyone from EW was even at the Cupertino event. And the genius editor who came up with the headline is completely clueless. EW… stick to writing about what you know. You may have some credibility weiting about Miley Cyrus’s new boyfriend or Madona’s new girlfriend. When it comes to tech you have absolutely no game.

    The rumors were all so exciting, what happened???

    I thought they were going to finally bring down the price. For that price I could get a dream top of the line PC. Maybe even with bluray and bluray burner and all. :\ boos

    Yikes, talk about overt product placement. When did Popwatch start advertorials? A listing of “key features” seems a little over the top for a pop blog piece.

    Have a white macbook at 2.4ghz dual core with 250GB hardrive. I got it for 1200 with a free i pod touch to get the same set up you need to spend 1600 now. Thats for the same insides! The graphics are the only upgrade. I would have expected more out of the new macbook… maybe HDMI out, Bluray, dedicated graphics, optical audio. The trackpad seems to be the only difference. and i use my mouse

    no firewire!?! now you have to replace your camcorder and external hdds? so what is imovie for?

  • rpflo

    Some people don’t know but processors have gone about as far as they can go w/ current architectures. It’s up the video cards now to really make your computer scream–you’d be surprised how much faster the same computer works with these new video cards.
    No firewire does seem odd.

    At least it’s more exciting than the last update. Now I won’t care so much if my ancient TiBook finally passes on.
    Oh, and there is a Firewire 800 port. (Compatible with 400)
