interesting. So if you have something like a lacy harddrive with
firewire connectivity, you can't run it on a new macbook?
I wonder why apple did that?

Hi
The price of the lower end Macbook has decreased by USD $100, from
$1099 to $999. The midrange model (the equivalent of the one I
currently have basically) has remained unchanged, and the higher end
one has gone up by $100. The Pros have had some slight price
alterations but nothing really substantial.
One thing I'm rather hacked off about is that Apple has removed the
firewire port from the Macbooks, but kept them on the Pros. I don't
understand why they'd get rid of the firewire port, and it makes me
glad I have the Macbook I have now instead of one of these new ones.

gone up in the US?

better graphics no card readers or anything new really

And at least in Australia, the MacBook range has had a price rise
accross the board, and I believe the same is also true in the UK.
As for touchpads with no buttons, I am very disappointed, but I
should have known that apple would start moving away from buttons
on their devices at some point...
As for me, I am glad I didn't wait. I have saved a lot of money in
doing so by getting my MacBook Pro last month. If I had waited, I
would not have been able to justify even a MacBook.
