@12: The speakers are at the back, and they reflect off the screen as if to amplify. A similar concept was applied to the 12 inch powerbook (I think).

I really like the new MacBook, but does anyone know where the speakers are? If they are ‘hidden’, that’s some design work there Mr Ive.

there will be some unhappy people, but it seems to have the same “magic bullet-ness” (or simply “ipodness”) that apple seems to have these day.

Yeah, some people will gripe (haven’t they always?) but I think it will be wildly successful.

(from a black mac- though mine’s a pismo. sigh. )

With the education discount the prices are: $1,049.00, $1,199.00, $1,399.00

Personally if I bought one, I’d get the 2.0Ghz Black one like the following:

MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo – Black
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM – 2×1GB
Keyboard/Mac OS – U.S. English
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
Accessory Kit
120GB Serial ATA drive
SuperDrive (DVDÂ±RW/CD-RW)

Overall I think this is another sucessful product for apple.

I was of the belief that you could simply upgrade the white Macbook to have the same specs as the black one. Which left the curious issue of having to pay some $150 more for a black Macbook with identical specs.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

So, you guys like the keyboard, huh?

“Another potential concern is the notebook’s keyboard. Apple redesigned the MacBook’s keyboard to sit flush against the bed of the computer for a sleeker, lower profile. Though it offers a firmer touch, the keyboard is built-in as part of the MacBook’s enclosure. Users who damage a key or two could find themselves having to replace the notebook’s entire bottom casing and trackpad — a potentially hefty expense.” [via]

[...] Isn’t she lovely? I had a tiny post about Apple’s new MacBook, but somehow during the editing WordPress and or the XHTML-tags went berzerk… So instead I point you to another excellent post by Paul Stamatiou that includes the close-up Apple-pr0n of this new youngster as posted on AppleIsider. Check it out! I think this is excellent value for money despite the glossy screen (that can at least do 1280×800) and the shared memory for the video. Apple, MacBook [...]

I don’t think it is, because backlit keyboard is a “pro feature”. The new MacBook looks stunning never the less.

Is the keyboard backlit? If it is that would be awesome.

I’ll be snagging one of the white ones. Not sure if I want to blend in with the PC crowd.

I have been waiting for the mac book. As i talked about on my blog (link in name), once i get the $$$ this will be my almost 4 year old dell laptop replacement. I will be able to run windows on it for the times that i need to, but I will enjoy having a mac (seeing as i am a windows and linux user now).

I really like the new design especially the keyboard. I’m not so sure about this new screen, but we’ll see how it turns out.
