"Apple released a stealth upgrade of the entry-level MacBook this morning. The white MacBook, still priced at $999USD, now has a 160GB hard drive, a 2.13GHz processor and a slight increase in RAM speed -- 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM."

The MacBook White is still a solid deal for anyone in the market for a new laptop and is quite the capable little machine.  Apple may not compete in the low end, but when it comes to the mid range, the White is still a solid performer.  At $999 it would probably satisfy a good majority of the needs of the people who need a new laptop.

I hope that Apple keeps an under $1K machine in their notebook lineup. It DOES matter. My first Apple notebook was an iBook and the price was the compelling point for me to buy. Nice specs for a 1st time buyer. This machine is a good warrior - I've had mine for 2 years and it's still as good as the day I bought it. Love it.
