Back in October, when Apple introduced the new aluminum MacBooks, they also introduced a $999 MacBook with the classic white polycarbonate case, Superdrive, and 2.1 GHz processor. It’s the only current MacBook that still has a FireWire 400 port, which is essential for people with older MiniDV or HDV camcorders or FireWire400-equipped hard drives.
That’s a great machine, but right now we have something better at the same $999 price – namely, a previous-generation white MacBook with a 2.4GHz processor and 2GB or RAM (compared to the 2.1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM in the current white MacBook). Our 2.4GHz MacBook also has a 160GB hard drive (compared to the 120GB drive in the current model) and a DVD-burning Superdrive.
Again, this 2.4GHz MacBook is on sale for $999.99 and includes a FREE Isis case and free three-day express shipping until 12/31.
