As rumored, Apple has quietly updated the MacBook tonight to the Santa Rosa architecture with mild speed bumps and the new GMA X3100 integrated video.

White 13.3"
$1099.00 2.0GHz/2x512MB/80GB/Combo/GMA X3100
$1299.00 2.2GHz/2x512MB/120GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100

Black 13.3"
$1499.00 2.2GHz/2x1GB/160GB/SD-DL/GMA X3100

The new MacBooks use the Santa Rosa chipset which boasts a faster 800MHz front side bus over the previous MacBook models. The new specs can be seen at the Apple Store.

Update: Apple's store now shows the old specs. The changeover may have been accidental, but we should expect to see the new Santa Rosa MacBooks soon.

Must say, i was hoping for a little more. Would love a slim macbook pro.

It seems that january should be pretty good though. All their products are pointing to an update then.

One thing i cant stand though is the combodrive on the base model.
 
I want one...
Where would be a good place to buy a macbook? applecart.za?
 
Is the new graphics card much better than the GMA 950? Is it worth the upgrade if I have a C2D macbook?

Depends - are you struggling now?
 
It would only be for games, makes more sense for me to buy an Xbox.

It wouldn't make photoshop any faster? I suppose a Pro would be better for graphics design anyway.
 
Just noticed, since we discussed that a few days ago. The Macbooks are now available with 4GB RAM. And 250GB disc....
 
Mac Book still won't run Final Cut Pro studio 2, even though only Motion 2 needs
a GPU and/or a few plugins using FxPlug require it in Final Cut. However it still runs
FCP first version.
