What does the diagonal measurment have to do with the screen being widescreen or 4:3? Companies can make screens in any size they want and in any aspect ratio they want. One has nothing to do with the other. -

Only a few manufacturers actually make LCD screens so while they can make them in many sizes, they tend to follow specific patterns(how many 16" screens are there ;->

- Quote -Pages describing the product have once again appeared. They indicate the new model Macs will be available for sale from 13 November - just over a week away. Customers visiting the site are bing given a chance to pre-order their new notebooks.
I can't see an option for pre-ordering it and I've been waiting since I first heard of this upgrade in early October. Can anyone help? -

You could order a Dell? Or maybe buy a HP from your local retailer?

- if the macbook could come with a discrete video card it would be nice... macbook pro its so overpriced.
It has widely been expected that Apple would field new Core 2 Duo processors in its consumer notebook range at some point. The company upgraded its MacBook Pros with the new processor on 24 October. Chatter speculating on an imminent MacBook upgrade has been in circulation for two weeks. It took a major uplift last week when Play.com published (and then removed) descriptions of new Core 2 Duo-powered MacBooks.
According to the Play.com webpage, the newly revamped second generation MacBooks will offer a maximum 2GHz processor speed, and will ship with 512MB RAM as standard. Other than an upgraded processor, the machines are otherwise identical to the existing models.
