I don't they would come out with a replacement for the white macbook. They got rid of it because know was buying it. So why would they make another one just like it. I don't see why someone would want a white macbook over a macbook air. JMO Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter & Skype

First of all, that guy's an idiot. The cheapest MBA runs for the same price as the macbook. And yes, it has a microphone and camera. Also, each air comes with a USB drive that contains your software for restore. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionari

Hi, In addition to jeff's comments, it's not worth speculating on what Apple may or may not do if your MacBook crashed. Suggesting that they'll make you pay extra money for a Pro or make you accept a MBA as a replacement is inaccurate speculation. Giving them a bad wrap for something that has

I didn't say they would stop servicing it. I said, read my e-mail again please, that god forbid, if I ever had to get it replaced entirely as it was nonreparable. Again, God forbid that day, but we have to face the reality, that it is technology, and technology can indeed! do some strange thin

No optical drive, and not enough HD space are the two deal breakers for me. Plus the guy at my local Apple store said if the O S crashes I have to send it in for repair, as with no optical drive there is no way to restore the O S yourself. When I pointed out a U S B CD drive, he said in theory

Hi, It's true that the MacBook is no longer being sold to regular consumers. But it's still being sold to educational institutions. As such, it's still being manufactured. So I'd expect it will still be possible to get your MacBook serviced for the foreseeable future. Geoff. -- You receiv
