I want to buy an apple MacBook and have been keeping an eye on things. I just heard this rumor that apple would be releasing the new MacBook and a MacBook Pro with the Santa Rosa architecture with a bus speed of 800MHz, and tomorrow is Friday (if apple keeps to the tradition of launching stuff on Friday) the new Macs should be out tomorrow. I noticed on the Apple websites too that 1st they had the new spec, but now they have taken away the whole Product Bar so that visitors cannot see the new Mac specs. Still if you search hard enough, you can find a link they forgot to take off, so here are the new spec,
The MacBook- 2.0GHz or 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
- 4MB shared L2 cache running at full processor speed
- 800MHz frontside bus
- 1GB (two 512MB SO-DIMMs) of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300); two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
The MacBook Pro- 15-inch MacBook Pro
- 2.2GHz, 2.4GHz, or 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed
- 17-inch MacBook Pro
- 2.4GHz or 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed
- 2GB (two SO-DIMMs) of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB
- 800MHz frontside bus
So whats New? Well now it is 2.0 - 2.6 GHz (used to be 2.0 - 2.4 GHz) , RAM upgradeable to 4 GB (used to be 2 GB), 800MHz frontside bus (used to be 667MHz), the MacBook with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (instead of GMA 950) and they also comes with new OS-X Leopard (watch the demo on the apple site Leopard is really awesome). The best news from what I have seen up to now is that, all the extra features with no price increase :-) WOW!
So I might wait another day or two to get my new MacBook. If you bought it recently, me deepest sympathies :-(
