- Apple Takes Page from Dell Playbook, Announces Most Incremental MacBook Upgrade EVAR!

Here we are less than a month later, and Apple has upgraded its consumer MacBook line to include -- features roughly equivalent to the existing MacBook line!
I know, I know, contain your excitement if you can. Why, instead of a base configuration of 512 megs of RAM, now every MacBook will ship with a full gig of RAM at the same price a year later! And instead of featuring either a 1.83 Ghz or 2.0 Ghz processor, now the 'Books ship with either a 2.0 or 2.16 Ghz part! It's almost like Moore's Law is in effect or something!
I've got the full specs behind the jump. The new MacBooks also have 802.11n now, which is a very nice feature, and it means that these are very good, very mature pieces of hardware. It also means they're about to get blown out of the water by Santa Rosa-based, LED-wearing MacBooks Pro. Sign me up for one of those instead, please.
