I’ve covered the technical specs and Hardware advantages the newly revamped MacBook possesses, but in reality, it’s not much different from its bigger brother, the Pro. The same Unibody enclosure is used and made in the same way. The two mirror each other in looks with the exception in size and to prevent any redundancy, you can read up about the shared specs between the two MacBooks here. However, Apple was sure to make the Pro beefier than its previous incarnation.

Apple’s MacBook event today is drumming up hype and rumor leaks across the Blog-o-sphere. Last minute reports are narrowing down the price range and specs of the soon to be released MacBooks and previous rumors are being confirmed as well. Unfortunately, whispers of an $899 slot belonging to a new 24 inch Apple Cinema Display are being passed off as true which currently diminishes hope of a lower priced MacBook. The MacBook Pro however, is getting an odd upgrade with the 17 inch getting a minimal bump while the 15 inch receives a new case and better video performance.

Apple’s MacBook line has been long in the tooth for quite a while with their last upgrades dating back to February. Typical to Apple’s release cycle, every 7-9 months significant upgrades are made to the Mac line but tomorrow’s event promises a bigger transition for the MacBook family.
Rumors sites have been buzzing with spy leaks, possible specs and price points. Photos of the MacBook’s new all Aluminum enclosure have made waves alongside the MacBook Pro’s new streamlined chassis. More notable however is the rumored low end price point of $800 which would mark Apple’s real foray into the sub $1,000 notebook market.

The MacBook Air has been tagged as one of Apple’s less diminutive Macs both in function and size with the exception of the price tag (of course I can assault your conscious with this more but I’m sure you’ve heard) yet a few rumored upgrades could sweeten the deal substantially. Changes to the underlying architecture would make it fit easier within Apple’s notebook lineup and do away with core shut downs and over heating.
