Hey Which one would you pick Entry level white macbook Upgraded to 4gb ram and 250gb hdd for 66k Or the entrylevel unibody MacBook ?
Voting for Unibody as well. Personally, I like the aluminum finish plus, it won't have the cracking problem (plastic MBs)
Some people have noted that the white MacBook is actually the unibody one specs-wise plus firewire, at a lower price. Of course, major difference is the casing. I personally love the full aluminum unibody. Depends on which one you prefer, price or aluminum, among other things.
If you can afford the Unibody and can live without Firewire, go Unibody. Otherwise, the entry level Whitebook is actually a smart alternative if you don't care too much about the cosmetics. Edit: Wait, did you say 66k for the White + 4GB Ram and 250 GB HDD? I'm sure you can get the entry level white at around 50K cash. 4 GB Ram is about 3K or less and 500 Gb HDD for around 6k so 66K is quite expensive.
Another vote for the unibody. I have not owned either but I've tried the white macbook and the unibody; I just love the aluminum finish. Well,my dad has one and I wish I could swap my MBP with it, haha. (He likes the size so no go for me). Cosmetics trumps the cost for me in this case.
I think it is the maxed out one from the Apple Online Store EDIT: It's not, it's 72k for that kind of specs. I guess he is getting it somewhere else Unibody for me but white is a Smart Choice, by Unibody, you'll be paying for the cosmetics and multitouch only max out the white one and you've got a winner!
The logical shopper would think that the entry white Macbook would be a smarter buy against the 2.0 unibody Macbook. Then again, shopping is not a logical but an emotional decison.
white for firewire and better specs. or wait for the second gen unibody, dont get the first gen if u can wait. the white is the last gen version so it is the most complete and best version of the white macbook series. i always believe in the last gen of their products since thats the time most of the bugs are fixed so they start a new series
why, with Charlie of course! I heard he was seeling 500GB WD hard drives for 6k which is a great buy!
unibody for me. personally i would invest more for a newer product. not that the white macbook is old. =)
If only you could order from Apple's website for the entry level white Macbook without the RAM and HDD...
Yup. White Specs: http://www.apple.com/macbook/white/specs.html Unibody Specs: http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html Main difference between the graphics is that the Unibody uses DDR3 while the White uses DDR2.
correct me if im wrong,but isn't the nvidia graphics still shared with your system memory in the unibody non-pro? 9400 still shared (aluminum/white) 9600 dedicated (pro)?
