MacBook goes unibody, available as we read this

Apple today announced an updated version of its low-end MacBook laptop, which will be available immediately. The new model, while still clad in white polycarbonate, now features the same unibody construction and bright LED-backlit screens as Apple’s other laptops, as well as the same glass multi-touch trackpad found in the MacBook Pro line.

The new 13.3-inch MacBook bears the same $999 price as the old model, but is powered by a 2.26GHz processor. It also features 2GB of 1066MHz RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics chip, and a 250GB hard drive.

This new MacBook has a familiar look, but it’s thinner, with curved edges. Like Apple’s other MacBooks, it’s got a self-contained, non-swappable battery. As a result, the bottom of the laptop has no feet—instead, the entire bottom surface is rubberized, save for eight screws.
