It'll definityl have magsafe - they've used the same (As far as I know) non-magsafe power adapter for both the iBook and Powerbook lines. using the same adapter cuts cost, not to m…

Yeah, Eug, since you seem to be really up on Intel's product lines, you should post a "recovering PowerPC zealot's guide to Intel processor families" to your blog. Or point us to w…

Well, I just want small, whether its a "Pro" or an iBook replacement. If something has Blu-Ray in it this summer, I want it. If not, I'll just kick myself a lot when it shows up on…

Correct. My bad. I should have said Pentium M Banias.

Seriously, I know I could go poking around the internets myself to learn this stuff, but you 2 have clearly done the initial scouting. So…

Celerons?
OK, Apple has already put so much effort into marketing Core to people I can't imagine them touching Celeron with a ten foot pole. Of course there will be a Celeron Yon…

Another point some here are trying to make is that there needs to be additional ways to distinguish a low-end MBP from the Mac Book marketing-wise. IMHO that's nonsense. Apple went…

After all that blurb, I forgot to post some specs.
So here's my guess
• Mac Book - 13.3" widescreen, T1300, 60-100GB, Combo/SD, 64MB/128MB VRAM, DVI optional
• Mac Book Pro - 15.…

Come to think of it, maybe the 12" PB always was stigmatized by basically being an Al iBook. It was developed by iBook people and it shared many technical aspects with the iBook.

Certainly. I think Apple's problem is that they can't put the same guts into the 12" as the 15"; it's not just pure marketing (remember, Steve loves small things,…

Of course they could put the L2300 into a 13" MBP instead of a T2300 or a T1300.
Problem is, it drives the price up even further. It's currently going for $284
It would be rathe…

Although you're probably already aware of this, I will just reiterate that those prices aren't what Apple pays.
Those are standard prices in batches of 1000, without any included …
