Apple Ninjas Silently Update White MacBook

Jan 21 2009, 7:00am CST | by Shane McGlaun

For a long time the MacBook Pro was the only MacBook that carried the slick aluminum design Apple was famous for. The much cheaper MacBook labored on with white or black plastic cases. When Apple updated the MacBook line back in October it moved the high-end MacBook versions to a new aluminum chassis.

However, the firm left the white plastic MacBook in the line as the cheapest Apple notebook offering. It seems that Apple has gone back and updated the specs of the white MacBook without making a hubbub about it.

Engadget spied the changes, which include a newer 2GHz Core 2 Duo with a 1066MHz FSB, 2GB of RAM, and integrated GeForce 9400M GPU. The low-end white notebook doesn’t get the new unibody MacBook DDR3 RAM, but really, I doubt anyone will miss that. Bluetooth goes from 2.0 to 2.1 as well. The best news is that the price is still $999. This news really sucks if you just bought a MacBook recently. More details on the Apple Store. Via Engadget
