Finally, the MacBooks have been updated. The new MacBooks have the Santa Rosa chip, and a new 800MHz front-side bus. You have a choice of either a 2 or 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo. But here is the good news: the Intel GMA 950 is finally out of the door, being replaced by the GMA X3100, with 144MB of shared memory. The total amount of RAM you can have has been raised to 4GB.

Why didn't you wait to buy? All the Macrumor sites were reporting that an upgrade was imminent. And if you had to buy then, why would you buy the Under-Powered-Over-Priced Macbook?

Jeez, come on! Don't worry, it's not like there's much difference between the two. The gma x3100 is like only slightly faster, it's still integrated like the GMA 950...

Because what I was reading on Macrumor was stating that new Macbooks were coming out for the holiday season (which I assumed was December). I am (incredibly) happy with mine, but a graphics boost would have been great.

Works for me :)

 

Im more than satisfied with the one I have. 2.16GHz C2Duo, 120GB, and Superdrive. I guess more video memory wouldn't be bad but onboard is onboard, aka not suitable for games anyway.

X3100 (965GMA)> 950GMA

 

Check this chart out

 

Impulse purchasing to have item right away > waiting

 

Who knows, i may sell mine in another month or two and get a new one. I got the one I have now on impulse really. Walked by the "apple store" (store that sells tech stuff, mac systems, ipods, etc) at my school, saw that they had 1 left, and got it.

So, when's intel/apple coming out with better drivers for the X3100? It's terrible in OS X. I had to disable screen saver, because it cut my battery life in half. (Fans are stupid loud)

 

But battery life in general on the macbook is GREAT! Over 4 hours for me!
