Â£749 for a Core Duo laptop sounds quite good value.

$100 for an iPod case, Apple's just cattering to the cultists.

Integrated graphics, but spanning and DVI as well. Frankly that's
more amazing than anything else.

You get an extra 20Gb of storage on the black model.

Nice machines. Black is the new white, then.

Glossy display. What a piece of crap. How anybody could think a high-gloss reflective surface on a display is a good idea is beyond me.

I hope my 12" PB will keep running for a long time...

I don't know, I was admiring Yak's glossy laptop screen on his XPS on the way back from E3 and thinking "I wonder why apple don't use those on their machines?"

It does look quite nice

There's no denying they are popular and very common on PCs.

Yeah, but you can get the white one with the same hard drive for Â£939, so your paying Â£90 extra for cool points, apple certainly know their customers: D

After all the effort developing good anti-glare coatings...

Gigabit ethernet and dual cores, yay, magnetic latch is new as well; no backlit keyboard, no expansion slot, new keyboard

no mention if it has the sudden impact detection
