Apple bumps the specs on its MacBook, but Santa Rosa is MIA
With the release of Intel’s Santa Rosa platform last week, we saw a number of new notebooks be announced from the usual suspects like Sony and Dell. Conspicuously missing, however, was Apple. The company is known for operating on its own timetable, but many expected Apple to eventually make the switch to Intel's newest platform.
Today, Apple announced an update to its MacBook lineup, but Santa Rosa is still MIA. Apple has updated the entry-level model to include a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM and an 80GB HDD (up from 1.83GHz, 512MB and 60GB). The range-topping black MacBook now features a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM and a 160GB HDD (up from 2.0GHz, 1GB and 120GB).
All other features remain the same including the 13.3" (WXGA) glossy screen, slot-loading DL DVD burner (CD-RW combo drive on the entry-level model), Intel GMA950, GbE, 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.
The new MacBooks are available now and range in price from $1,099 for the entry-level model to $1,499 for the 2.16GHz black model.
