Some people have said that the new MB have less batt. life not true. Apple's website list the new MB has having 4.5 batt. life while the old 1 had 6 that is because apple is using a different test the new ones have better batt. life due to the new more power effect processors. About the speed the new are MB are 100MHz-200MHz faster but have a smaller L2 cash so basically you wont notice a difference but the new ones still have more batt. life, bigger HDDs and more RAM and they are cheaper I no this for a fact I own the Nov. 07 model and the Feb. 08 one. These rumors are most likely started by new MB owners who were suprized by the early updates.

hello first post someone plese look at it
Just a constructive comment on the speed expressed. It should be 100 - 200 MHz faster not Khz.
good I dont seem to notice any diff. from my older 2.2(I really like the glossy screen!)
it is
good we dont need someone to read that an start more rumors that the new on sucks
Yeah, general thinking is that they are using a more "real world' type test to devise the battery life. This would make sense considering the lawsuit with the whole "millions of colors' display thing. I'm sure they don't want a lawsuit about someone's Macbook not getting 6 hours of battery life.
Now that I think about and feel it I think they put less gloss(a least on this one(got it weds 2/27))
$20 for a remote is a price I was willing to pay for a faster cpu, more memory, bigger HDD and better Battery life for a similarly priced old gen.
