It's finally here. Apple Store is stocking the new MacBook and MacBook Pros. New features include a one-piece aluminum casing, LED-backlit display, multi-touch glass trackpad (no mouse button), 0.95" thickness, and 4.5lbs (MacBook) or 5.5lbs (MacBook Pro).

MacBook
They're offering a low end version with the white plastic casing for $999 with free shipping.

  • 13" MacBook 2.1GHz w/ 1GB DDR2, 120GB HDD, Intel GMA X3100 for $999

    The higher end versions all feature the new one-piece aluminum casing, with the following price points:

  • 13" MacBook 2.0GHz w/ 2GB DDR3, 160GB HDD, GeForce 9400M for $1299
  • 13" MacBook 2.4GHz w/ 2GB DDR3, 250GB HDD, GeForce 9400M for $1599

    MacBook Pro
    The new MacBook Pros have both the 9400M and the 9600M GT built-in. You can switch between the two video cards for better battery life or for better performance, respectively. They come spec'd as follows:

      Very underwhelming, but I expected little from Crapple anyway.

      How (exciting * 0.7). Now if they'd come down to non-Apple pricing, it'd be (exciting * 1.0) and I'd consider buying one.
      Where's the docking station?

      No HDMI is a poor choice. Also, how is this a deal?
