This Week's "Apple Tuesday" Brings New MacBooks and MacBook Pros

Well, we were half right. This morning’s entirely expected Apple Store downtime was resolved just after 8:30am EST. When the site came back up, some nice goodies came up with it.

Updated MacBooks:

2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 1GB memory / 120GB hard drive / Combo drive: $1099

The lesser two options come in a white case, while the top MacBook comes in black. All models feature the 13″ display and pack Intel’s new Core 2 Duo Penryn processors.
