Following the introduction of the juicy new MacBook Pro, Mr. Jobs went on to cover the MacBook Air and MacBook. Firstly, the MacBook Air will be getting the exact treatment we told you about earlier today – with the addition of a mini display port. The 9400M will be in there and two versions will be available; a 120 GB HDD for $1799 and a 128 GB SSD for $2499. More importantly, Stevo dropped the new MacBook on us as expected. Just like the MacBook Pro, the new MacBook will feature the juiced up NVIDIA GPU, the glass trackpad, the backlit keyboard on the 2.4GHz model and about 5 hours of battery life.

  • $999 – Old white plastic model, whatever
  • $1299 – 13.3-inch display, 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Superdrive
  • $1599 – 13.3-inch display, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, 250GB HDD, Superdrive

The new MacBooks are shipping out today and should be in stores tomorrow. Recession be damned, get your credit cards ready people.

    Hey Zach, when did Apple put you on the payroll, anyway?

    Also, backlit keyboard is only on the more expensive MacBook. Get your facts straight in between bouts of kissing Jobs’ ass, m’kay?

    Maybe you should check your facts… Direct from apple’s site.

    “The MacBook keyboard is solid, responsive, and comfortable. Just put your fingers on the crisp keys and you’ll feel pure typing bliss. An illuminated keyboard, a popular feature of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, now comes standard on the 2.4GHz MacBook model. So when you’re in low-light settings such as airports or lecture halls, you can always see what you’re typing. It’s a luminous feature for anyone on the go.”

    i thought i read somewhere apple prices would become more “competitive”. so much for that speculation

  • Jeremiah

    Hmm it seems as though the backlit keypad is actually standard even on the 2.0GHz model.
