Apple Refreshes White Macbook for $999

No longer just a rumor or speculation, the newest version of the Macbook hit the Apple Store yesterday. According to Engadget, the laptop boasts a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card and, best of all, a 10-hour battery life -- a full three hours longer than those of older MacBook incarnations. And that's not to mention that this bad boy is priced at $999, making it a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the slightly more powerful 13-inch Macbook Pro.

Really, the choice between buying this refreshed Macbook and the Macbook Pro comes down to how much you need that $200. For the extra cash, you'll get 4-gigabytes of memory with the Pro, compared to the regular Macbook's 2-gigabytes. Plus, the Pro includes a Fire Wire port, memory card reader and that smooth aluminum casing. However, with folks pinching pennies wherever they can, this streamlined white Macbook might be a must-have this summer. [From: Engadget and The Apple Store]
