This is nice. I was thinking about getting one of the unibody models but the lack of firewire is a major issue for me. If this model still has Firewire then this is the way to go.

@carltonbale – absolutely agree. I assume that they kept the old specs until they used up existing inventory and then started substituting the new logic board.

The most likely reason for the upgrade is to minimize part/inventory/purchasing proliferation. Volumes were low on the old chipset and high on the new chipset, so it very likely could be a manufacturing cost reduction.

let me give an idea to apple. guys, launch a netbook.

give it an aluminum case so you can keep it in the image of your new macbooks. make it a 10.2 inch one so it’s practical and not too cramped. don’t just make a macbook air with lower specs. it has to be small. being mobile isn’t just about the weight, it’s about the overall bulk. I for one would hesitate to bring out any laptop over 12 inches in a cramped commute, even if i really really need to get some stuff done. you can sell it around 100 dollars more than a typical netbook of the same specs.

and all those anti-apple folks can complain, but they don’t get it anyway. apple isn’t about being having similar specs, or being cheaper. it’s about superior design – both in terms of the external aspects (the icon that is apple) and the internal one (which isn’t the specs, but the useful, stable, secure software).

and call it … wait, let me at least hold on to that idea.

How can you be sure that the just updated white plastic MacBook with Nvidia 9400M has still the FireWire port? I did not find that in Apple Store specs. Nvidia 9400M chip does not have FireWire support built in.
