"Hmmm, what's this? Did Apple just update its lowly, $999 white plastic polycarbonate MacBook to more closely align with its new unibody MacBooks? Why yes, yes it has... sometime in the last 3 days according to Google's cache."

I guess I should have waited a bit longer to buy the one I currently own.

Really nice and totally unexpected update. Mine will be two years old in March and I'm still at least a year away from looking to update it and I expect that by the time I do update, the Whitebook will be history. But this is a great update for those buying for the 1st time or looking to update from an iBook or older Macbook.

Or those who want a cheap consumer lappy with Firewire. This really is a damn solid deal now.
