New MacBooks (and MacBook Pro’s) at Apple

Posted in Apple by Dan at 10:56 am

While you were asleep last night, Apple was busy releasing a new line of revved MacBooks and MacBook Pro’s

As rumored, Apple has quietly updated the MacBook tonight to the Santa Rosa architecture with mild speed bumps and the GMA X3100 integrated video.

White 13.3″
$1099.00 2.0GHz/1GB RAM/80GB/Combo/GMA X3100
$1299.00 2.2GHz/1GB RAM/120GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100

Black 13.3″
$1499.00 2.2GHz/1GB RAM/160GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100

Despite comparable clock speeds (2.0 -> 2.0GHz, 2.16 -> 2.2GHz) to the old models, the new MacBooks use the Santa Rosa chipset which boasts a faster 800MHz front side bus over the previous MacBook models. The introduction of the GMA X3100 video card also provides significant benefits over the previous models.

The new MacBook’s are in stock at a majority of Apple retail stores, and will filter through other retail channels all this week.

    The plurals of MacBook is MacBooks. The plural of MacBook Pro is MacBook Pros. You don’t need an apostrophe to pluralize anything, even Apple products.

    Too bad I bought a MacBook a few months ago. But I knew they would update the line and I just couldn’t wait. Works well enough for me.

    Im not sure, but I think the plural of MacBook Pro is MacBooks Pro, kind of like the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General. But you are dead on re: the apostrophe…banish it from the fair language as it has no use in plurization’s (whaaa whaa whaaaaaaaa).

    so where can I get one of these new Macbook’s Pro?…And when is the Macbook’s Pro’s going to be available? Do they possess apostrophe upgrading capabilities?
