Hi, I am readying to buy a macbook now, but most of the resellers around me are still selling the one with gma 950, so I guess I'll have to buy it online..
I am just curious if anyone has purchased the new macbook, and how it is.
(Slight improvement in battery life ftw!)
-
I reserved one... my campus Apple store has ordered a bunch I should be getting mine within the next two weeks. I'm veeery excited
-
-
I'm in no rush... plus I like to see things in person
-
As far as I know, there's no aesthetic difference between the old and new macbook, although the new one is 0.2 pound lighter
.
-
That's what I've heard too... I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference. 0.2lbs isn't much

UBC Bookstore, AuroraS?
Oh by the way, have you heard the news? Possible Apple Store opening in Pacific Center by spring 2008! -
I haven't heard the news... but that sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to it. -
Wow you are from UBC? I am in UVIC
Small world -
Its pretty interesting how many Vancouver members are active on the Apple forum here. I know of at least 5, which is pretty much.
AuroraS, here's the article that talks about it.

I still think the Macbook is too heavy for what it is, by about a pound. It weighs almost as much as a Macbook Pro! This is something I felt passionate about because I was tempted to get a MB, but got a MBP for DVI and the weight difference is so minimal.
-
It's true... the Macbook is somewhat heavy for what it is, but the Macbook Pro is much more expensive. If I could afford a MBP, I would purchase it in a heartbeat!
... maybe in a few years, when I'm a graduate student. -
So how much better is the new X3100 compared to the old gma 950?
Also, has anybody seen the MB close to the MBP, the difference is not that big? I also grabbed both to check the difference in weight, well not much of a difference there either!? Both Mac's were sitting side by side in my college bookstore. -
-
Macbook also has better battery life I believe. -
That's probably true, seeing how it has an integrated card vs. the MBP's dedicated graphics.

They're not exactly the same:

I like the new media controls, but I'd rather Expose and Dashboard stay on the far right side. It'll take some time to adjust to this, when I finally get a new Mac sometime in the future.
Has anyone gotten the SR updated macbook?
