Apple Kills Off White MacBook as Educational Institution Distribution Halted

Last July, Apple discontinued the white MacBook from its consumer lineup, pushing consumers toward the company's popular MacBook Air line or the 13-inch MacBook Pro. The company didn't kill off the MacBook entirely though, as it continued to offer it to educational institutions.

Apple has now notified resellers that it has ended that distribution channel as well, classifying the MacBook as "End of Life". It is unclear at what point Apple ceased production on the MacBook, as it is likely that the company's manufacturing partners wound down their work on the machine some time ago, with the company continuing to sell through its final batch to its limited educational institution market since that time.

Well my 2007 Black MacBook is still kicking ass. I've had to replace the memory and upgrade it to the maximum (3GB), replace the hard drive with an SSD and replace the battery but it's still one of the best machines I have and it's running Lion happily.

They were always just a poorly built version of the Macbook Pro so... yeah, no real loss. If Apple could figure out a way to release durable colored aluminum, everyone would go nuts over how cute the MBPs are.

You don't need to go to Apple to change the color of your Apple product ;) (Link) They offer any color you want :)
